"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate
All those moments will be lost in time
Like tears in rain
Time to die"

I cannot watch this scene without crying.
I can't even listen to these lines without dropping a tear.

Ok. I give. What is this from? It sounds very familiar.

"He say you Brade Runner."


71. Pohl's "The Day the Icicle Works Closed," where planetary colonists "loan" their bodies to off-world day-trippers (kinda like virtual reality visors, only not virtual) while their minds power robots who do menial labor....or so they think!


72. "Soylent Green is people!"


73. {Mathenauts-‘Convergent Series’, Rudy Rucker} Protagonist paints the pentagram on the time-frozen demon’s belly. When time starts again, the demon re-enters our dimension only to find the pentagram has moved – it is on his belly. Each time the demon tries to re-enter it gets smaller and smaller in the limit.

75. In Serenity, when Serenity flies through the cloud towards the Alliance Fleet … followed by the Reaver Fleet. “Somebody shoot something!” The subsequent space battle and Wash’s flying “I am a leaf on the wind.”


76. (Blake's 7: Cygnus Alpha) Vila: "The Architectual Style is early Maniac." Arko: "We need food and shelter." Vila: "I know! But do we need them that badly."

77. (Blake's 7: City on the edge of Forever)

Baban: "Baban."
Vila: Still doesnt recognise him.
Baban: "Baban the Beserker."
Vila: still no clue...
Baban: "Baban the Butcher."
Vila: "Oh no. You're Baban the Butcher."
Baban: Smiles that he has been suitably recognised by the man now cowering in fear in front of him.

78. (Blake's 7: Blake) Avon shoots Blake


79. Crusade by David Weber and Steve White: A misinformed and misled alien culture tries to bring down the holy inquisition on Terra. Contains lots of awesome ideas. Of course, the best moment is when the reader realizes that the holy inquisition is carried out by aliens.

80. Antares Series from Michael McCollum: Imagine mankind encounters an hostile xenophobic alien race. One of the best moments is when even the hardcore 'we-can-all-live-in-peace-if-we-just-try' realize that this is the ultimate them-or-us conflict.

81. The Cold Equations by Tom Godwin: A heart breaking short story that, unlike most other Godwin stories, has no happy end.

Gods, I'd forgotten that book. Now I'll have to find a copy. A bit out of date, but still a good read.

After I started doing safety engineering, the story lost a lot of its power. It still makes me pause and ponder, though, but now what I wonder is what sort of idiots run the interstellar ships in that world. See, e.g., the essay here.

That was my point. Read the book, then you go 'why couldn't someone make a movie about the book.' ;-)

yes and the sad thing is, that the actors in the movie were good actors. the movie just has nothing to do with the book and I think the director was on acid.

I love the book and own an autographed copy.


Come on, people. Space Opera. You cannot have a thread titled space opera and don't have quotes like this:

Sheridan "Now get the hell out of our galaxy!"

Drake: "Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship."
Delenn: "Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

Sebastian: "Remembered not as a messenger, remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero&#8230;not even as Sebastian. Remembered only&#8230;as Jack."

Londo Mollari: "But this&#8230;this, this, this is like&#8230; being nibbled to death by, uh&#8230;Pah! What are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet&#8230;go "quack"."
Vir Cotto: "Cats."
Londo: "Cats! I'm being nibbled to death by cats."


And since Serenety's mentioned:

Jane: "I'll be in my Bunk"


Okay, since we've mentioned a few B5 moments now, I have to add one of my personal favorites. Vir looking up at Morden's head on a pike and doing that little smile and wave.


"Zathras, not ZAthras. Totally different."


Oh, B5 has so many great moments ...

G'Kar(Blood dripping from his hand): Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead! How do you apologize to them?
Vir [whimpering]: I can't!
G'Kar: Then I cannot forgive!

My absolute favorite pair of moments - with the payoff TWO SEASONS LATER - in the whole run of the show.

"What would I like, Mr. Morden? I'd like to see your head, on a pike, as a symbol for the next 10 generations that some favors come at too high a price. And I'd look up into your lifeless eyes, and I'd wave... like this [waggles fingers]. Do you think your 'associates' could arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

Love it. Love love love it. In fact, I just watched this clip on youtube like a day or two ago.
