[Spoilers for Severed Dreams]
So, I think we all know what the Quote of the Week is.
Obviously, I haven’t seen every single televised episode of this sort of thing ever made. So, apologies to fans of Space Battleship Yamato or whatever. But, at least as far as my experience goes, Severed Dreams remains, nineteen years later, the single best episode of pure space opera ever put on television. And the moment when Delenn appears, and delivers *that* speech – still one of the best moments of television for me, full stop.
Also, I’ve expressed the opinion that Boxleitner should have played Superman. It turns out that Sheridan’s dad is Pa Kent. Seriously, that is a shamelessly over-the-top just-a-plain-farmer-but he-can-see-that this-sure-as-shootin’-is-one-plumb-mess-that’s-going-to-take-some-fixin’ heartlands stereotype.
