I’m rewatching a sci-fi television series from the mid 1990′s called Babylon 5. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I liked the writing.

In the story, one race has been conquered by another, and the ambassadors from both races are in counsel. I was always moved by a speech made by the vanquished ambassador (G’Kar). The writer must have had recent events like the fall of the Berlin Wall in his mind among other things when he wrote it. The timing is certainly right.

The clip is here (4:40 min).
