You know, people don't give Boxleitner enough credit as an actor. He can really bring it!

I'm so glad Bruce B. got to be on this show, he really ran with the football and delivered! Not bagging on any other actors, loved them all, (Mike O'Hare too) but seeing Boxleitner get the stuff he did and knock it out of the park constantly was just a sheer joy.

@B5starfurry - Dude... "speech", "episode"... and a second "speech". Please tell me English is a second language for you. If not, I weep for our future if this is the education being received.

@ITR0LLU26 I agree with Finn and also how do you know? What if we discover an interstellar drive tomorrow? And yes, I'm absolutely replying to a 2 year old comment because I can.

Don't forget the "Battle of the line" speech by earth President. The writing, the acting, and the sheer scale of the story arc, puts this on a par with Tolstoy's War and Peace. What makes this a powerful piece of modern fiction entertainment is that it does what ALL great works of fiction have done before. That is "when things are at their very worst, as a species we are at our very best". The speech was truly Churchillian in its intensity.

Although I have to ask free to do what. I note that most often when people call for freedom it is from other people's existence or their own freedom.

They are the only kind of people who deserve to die poor and ignorant. And when we do finally outlive our stay on Earth and enter the outer reaches of space do you really think that the superpowers are going to ignore that kind of investment, no way. However come sooner or later like G'kar said- Though it take thousand years, there is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom...and we will ALL be free

Who the hell are Earth to decide for the rest of the galaxy, no wonder other races (and there are others) want nothing to do with us, Because the governments are selfish greedy elitists. They care only about money and power (which is obv but still) always trying to inflict their rule over everything with an iron grip. Who are they to care how many casualties there are as long as they make their green red or blue. A neccesary evil as they would probably say. Well they're dead wrong!!
