There is one omission I found striking and that is Roy Batty's speech on the rooftop in Blade Runner. That is classic. The Serenity choice is a great one. I remember being stunned into silence and hearing audible gasps when the famous line "I am a leaf on the wind" is said that last time. I'm glad they gave B5 some love too. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Adrianne Brennan <adrianne.bren...@...> wrote: > > As touching as Doomsday was, it pales in comparison with the chips speech at > the end of season 1 for me. > ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~ > http://www.adriannebrennan.com > Experience the magic of Blood of the Dark Moon: > http://www.adriannebrennan.com/botdm.html > Take a bite out of Blood and Mint Chocolates: > http://www.adriannebrennan.com/bamc.html > Dare to take The Oath in this erotic fantasy series: > http://www.adriannebrennan.com/books.html#the_oath > > > On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 8:32 AM, Martin Baxter > <truthseeker...@...>wrote: > > > > > > > Grab Kleenex, folks... > > > > http://www.sfx.co.uk/page/sfx?entry=sf_s_26_greatest_tearjerkers > > > > "If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in > > bloody hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik > > > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > HotmailĀ® is up to 70% faster.
