First, I did ask twice. I haven’t edited my comments so you’re free to reread them. Secondly, I’m not sure what I did to make you think I pissed in your Cheerios. We’re on the same page. I never said you had to be Worf in this scenario as that’s completely unrealistic. I was sharing a similar show that included a multi year story line about resisting home grown fascism.

I’m sorry I didn’t pass your purity test while commenting in a science fiction community.

    So should I have only responded by linking an assassination video? DS9 and B5 are closely linked for many reasons and B5 has an actual Earth v Earth conflict that mirrors our present day. I’m not sure how to respond to this comment except to ask; what did you find so lacking in my original response?

    I think about Earth Alliance President Clark a lot nowadays.

    There’s some really poignant lines about following illegal orders. If you like DS9 and don’t like what’s happening under the current US government I implore you to watch Babylon 5.

    Spoilers, and the clip hits so much harder when you’ve watched the build-up, but if you need convincing here’s a small sample about how topical this show still is.

    If you really need convincing here’s one of the best speeches regarding invasion I’ve ever seen.

    So long story short; I’m a huge fan of Terrence Mann (mainly for his work in musicals, but he’s done TV/Film as well).

    If you use YouTube music and look up the musical ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ you’ll find some songs credited to ‘Terry Mann’. That’s my fault.

    It never was a very popular musical, and I had uploaded it to my library back in the Google Play days. I may have given Terrence Mann a cute lil nickname for my eyes only roughly a decade ago, and now it’s the official meta data. I hope this doesn’t get corrected because I honestly think about it a lot and I couldn’t ask for a better legacy.
