One big reason why Sheridan is awesome: Bruce Boxlietner has a REALLY epic voice.
He makes Klingons sound effeminate.
Totally agree, love his audio books as well. Could listen to him all day 😁 I especially liked the new Tron movie when I heard his voice in it 😅
Such a moving speech. "This is not the voice of treason. These are your sons, your daughters."
All hail the true sons and daughters of Sky- wait, wrong universe.
@@proudamerican183sharadin would call that traitor a coward
A better time...past and future...where there were only 2 genders, Sons & Daughters, no one was confused, and doing what is right is a virtue....
@@rikcleary1680 Those who scream 'woke nonsense' would scream 'woke nonsense' at B5 if they'd never seen it before, with such woke horrors as females in leadership roles and strong positions on bodily freedom.
The world didn't change. You did.
@rikcleary1680 the Babylon 5 characters would class you with the Earth Fascists. Rightly so
"These are your sons, your daughters, whose loyalties have never wavered, whose beliefs in this Alliance has forced us to take extraordinary means. For justice, for peace, for the future, we have come home!"
One of if not the best speech on the show. Hell I wanted to jump in a star fury myself when I first heard this.
this is nothe voice o treason, not of injustice
Very good but I think shattered dreams speech just nicks it
Yep, get the chills every time I hear it.
G’kar’s freedom monologue always takes first prize.
Sign me up !!! Blood still flows even in a vacuum for a few seconds….
" You tell them I'm coming and Hell is coming with me! "
What a powerful speech to serve as the climax to end the best 3 season run I have ever seen. Babylon 5 was way ahead of its time. Can’t believe this came out in 1998
After Delenn's 'be somewhere else' speech comes this one. JMS was always great at writing powerful speeches that held emotion, realism, and soul. They were never unbelievable nor over the top.
Ivanova's speech was a little over the top, but it was meant to be I think.
Delenn's speech could have been shortened a little. "Suit yourself."
And also "Now get the hell out of our galaxy!" 😃
@@constablemittens
Not over the top. Ivanova was sick and tired of trying to diplomatic and reasonable. Her inner Russian fatalism just sprang out.
@@tompearce5418 sounds a little too human.
I get tears in my eyes whenever I hear/watch this speech.
"This is not the voice of treason! These are YOUR SONS! YOUR DAUGHTERS!"
yeah your other 100 accounts already stated that
Bruce Boxleitner knows how to play a hero: Honest, brave and passionate.
That's Tron, he fights for the Users. And he kicks ass 👍🏻
Sometimes I wish I'd never seen Babylon 5. Then I could watch it for the first time all over again.
First time was good, second time was best though. Maybe third time even... it's really quite something
I watched it for the first time in my 30s… I feel so robbed, I wish I had this show when I was a kid struggling to find something to believe in.
@@jjkunzler It wasn't as great as you imagine.
@@jjkunzler I know what you mean. A few years ago I watched again for the first time the Jon Pertwee Dr Who stories - don't laugh! - that I watched as a child. Among all the things people mock about that era, but I accept as part of it's charm, I found the roots of so many things I've believed in all my adult life and other things I felt strongly about but had let slip away as life got in the way.
We are planning going on about the speech but can we take a moment to appreciate the music, really helping punctuate his words and gives them gravity
I would say that this scene excels in the writing, speech performance itself, music and photography which are all combined to an excellent piece.
You are not alone anymore,we call upon you to rise up and do what's right, we have drawn their forces away from Earth and disabled them, the time to act is now, gives me chills everytime I watch it
I feel like i could make a "top 100 moments on Babylon 5 list" and still have to make hard choices of what to leave off it.
Every tyrant and dictator had moments when their enemies show up to end their regimes. That moment would be very profound to know it is the end for them.
Hell that speech made me want to enlist in his military
JMS: Okay, so we need our captain to be believable as leading loyal forces against the legitimate government without malicious intent, so he can free the system from an oppressive tyrant. Who do we cast?”
“What about that tron guy?”
@Willian Busch We fight for the User!
He was Scarecrow too…
And it worked!
you must have nerves of steel to carry on with your speech while the defenses of an entire planet are targeting your ships!
When a show gives you chills with such passion and drive. BB5 FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show had some top notch speeches. Thanks for posting.
The show was trying to warn the future.
All good stories are timeless for reasons like you mentioned.
"We are here on the authority of a multi-planetary force that can no longer stand by and watch one of their greatest allies falling into darkness and despair."
*literally 2 episodes later*
"Let's stand by and watch one of our greatest allies fall into darkness and despair for centuries lol."
Seriously, *fuck* the Deconstruction of Falling Stars.
In his speech resigning his commission, Sheridan should have added that he does not apologize for his actions against Earth and that he'd do them again. He did not rise against his government because the legitimate government of Earth did not exist under Clark.
Bruce always gives a great performance no matter he plays in ❤ love him as Captain John Sheridan.
This show had some excellent acting!
It sure did.
@@SezarOroo so true
One of the best, if not the best speech in Sci Fi.
When I first saw this it brought me too my feet.Moving and Powerful!
Sheridan the one you follow after the one you live for and the one you die for
Ah, but not The One.
But One of the One, the One that IS. Zathras says so.
I hope that Bruce comes back at least for a cameo in the B5 remake.
This series needs to be shown again...
I miss B5 :'(
One of the best scenes in the entire series! Of course the entire series was and is the best!
It would seem the Shadows have ruled Earth for sometime...
They're gone by this point. Clark had some borrowed Shadow tech to draw on, but otherwise they left him high and dry.
@@Brasswatchman Now what does that remind you of?
@@tatianalyulkin410 ... okay, I'll bite. What _should_ it remind me of?
I've just realised what the opening violin strings remind me of - it's the same (or super close) opening notes to "The Fleet Arrives" from Mass Effect 3! And just as ships jump into Earth's orbit here all the ships in ME3 jump through the Mass Relay (wait.... how have I never noticed the commonality between B5's jump gates and ME's mass relays?!), bringing with them a galaxy's worth of species trying to liberate Earth. And Admiral Hackett gives one hell of a speech there too, just as Sheridan does here.
Two absolutely epic "space operas". Anyone reading this who has not played the Mass Effect Trilogy I cannot recommend it enough and it's recently been remastered on PC/XBox/PS. Even if you're not a big video game player, you can set the difficulty to "Story mode" and basically you can just experience the story, all the combat is made trivial. The Reapers are up there with The Shadows, both in power and in motivations (wait, how have I never noticed the similarities between them till now?! Jesus, I'm losing my nerd-dom). That first talk with a Reaper and the explanation of their nature and existence is, IMO, one of the greatest exchanges in sci-fi, it suddenly snaps everything into focus, just as the conversation Sheridan has on Z'ha'dum.
That speech should be delivered to DC right now! 😆 🤣 😂
To every center of government. From Toronto to Dc, from Moscow to Beijing, and everywhere else on Earth.
I served in the RAF , where I had an office like John, I would have followed him through the gates of hell if needed.
Well no. It needs to be delivered to Putin... and if he tries to steal power again, Trump.
@@josephteller9715 Trump did nothing wrong. If you believe that, maybe you should sign up for Biden's department of truth and misinformation
This guy knows how to make speeches.
'For Justice. For peace. For the future. And for a decent, slice of pizza. We have come home!!!'
Seriously...GREAT scene.
☮
lol perfect
I imagine the "and for a decent slice of pizza" is the little Garibaldi on his shoulder...
Sometimes a scene is really, really, eerie.
I suppose one day some slick kid will disparage B5 the way that type always disparage shows from previous eras, but these shows often transcended their limitations of effects, budgets, etc, to say something profound.
A commenter here wishes he'd seen B5 when he as growing up and looking for something to believe in. There used to be a customer review on Amazon saying how the Bionic Woman had saved the reviewer from a bad childhood and had given her her moral values. There are many such sentiments expressed on many forums.
A few years ago I watched again for the first time the Jon Pertwee Dr Who stories I'd watched as a child. I'd barely thought about them in the 30+ years that had passed. But among the dodgy dinosaurs and gravel pit planets, I saw in those stories and in the character of the Doctor, as overseen by producer Barry Letts and conveyed by Pertwee, the roots of attitudes I've tried to maintain all my life. And I was reminded of values I'd held but that had faded when life got on the way.
These shows and so many others like them, in different genres and decades pick up on the tradition of fiction encouraging us not just to be better people, but to be the absolute best person each of us can be.
Valen hisself could not have said it any better, we have come home.
I could see Valen *writing* the speach, and leaving it in a time-lock safe in Sheridan's office... ;-)
This speech and the presidents speech at the battle of the line, best speeches.
Excuse me sir, but there is also the famous Londo Mollari's speech just before the battle of the line speech.
@@SezarOroo The stubborn nobility one, I like that one too, or was it, it will be very hard.
@@jree78 I can't find it, do you know from which B5 episode or film it is?
@@SezarOroo Same one battle of the line when he's talking to the kids and saying how he saw the humans fight and could weep.
That was a badass speech I don't care what anybody says.
Yes, it was.
Why they need to reboot such a Masterpiece.
Give a us a remastered Version of this and everybody are happy.
Spot on!
Crusade could do with a reboot since completing it would be problematic after nearly 20 years. B5 is fine standing on its own. I actually liked Crusade.
See, that’s the problem with Sci-Fi. All the fans that refuse to accept ANYTHING new. That has stifled creativity and has introduced a level of fear from companies of massive backlash and boycotts that honestly it’s sickening that fans have that kind of power.
True, it can be used for good. Velma for example deserves the backlash. But these days, more often than not, it’s used to hate on good stories that do not deserve the hate.
@@jeremydale4548 The thing is, a lot of those good stories don't need to ride to coattails of existing franchises, or don't need to reboot the series. Star Trek could just as easily used a new ship and crew as they did in The Next Generation, Voyager, or Enterprise instead of erasing everything to reboot with a new start, with essentially new characters with only some similarity to the original Kirk and crew. Why not use another Constitution class ship from the same time period and then you can have the similar but different crew. There were at least a dozen of them according to Kirk in one episode.
That's when the fans start having trouble with the reboots, when they have to erase everything that came before to tell those good stories, especially when they could have been fit in without doing so, but they feel they need to use the big names of existing characters in order to sell the show.
@@jeremydale4548 A new series I'd love. A pointless re-do of old stories, not so much.
I cry each and everytime.
It kind of seemed like Bruce would go into movies, especially after TRON...
Look at his eyes. A true survivor.
love this speech n is something similar that needs to happen in america today due to the corruption that is going on in the current government!!! i am a navy vet n support the people taking back their government as it should be!!!
Almost like Churchill's " on the beaches " speech.
Yeah except Churchill was a genocidal racist.
Picard Pffft, only starfleet captain that compares to Sheridan is Sisko.
53 dislikes from members of nightwatch
Great moment.
And the bloodshed begins. Evil will not sit calmly and allow good to walk in and take over.

"You know... the thing!" ...
Such an EXCELLENT SHOW!!!!! ST can’t even come close to how good B5 was…
jesus the writing on this show, still the best sci-fi/drama made.
JMS is an incredible writer. The writers on strike today couldn’t hold a candle to him.
Liebour are exactly like President Clarke's lot..
Greatness!!!!
Babylon 5 was one of a kind
I forgot how good the acting was on Babylon 5. Guess that means it’s time to rewatch the while series.
I really really wanted to see the planetary defense systems in action. I wonder if we will get that chance in the upcoming re-boot!
We did right after this speech. Platforms fired missiles at the fleet and prepared to fire their Particle Cannons at Earth itself. We later saw them firing their missiles and PC's at the Drakh Fleet after the Victory sacrificed itself to destroy a Death Cloud. Said Cannons were later used by the Warlock's as their Main Guns.
@@evanboll4651 true! It was so short though.
@@evanboll4651 Ermm how do you know that? Anythign I ever read over 20 years said their main weaponry was Rail guns (see "THE EXPANSE" for footage of how those work,
BAB5 at it's *finest*
Yes!
I will always remember Bruce has Lee Stetson (Scarecrow) from Scarecrow and Mrs King
He was Captain awesome's dad in Chuck too...
Thats a lot of jump point openings
Best parts of the show following the shadow war was oc finishing the earth war and insurrection..
Tbh as a guy who's never seen Babylon 5 but clips on youtube, this kinda reminds me of Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon.
I guess this is why they say don't comment on something you've never seen in full. I'm really laughing here.
@@SezarOroo Ah so you're a dick.
@Tömör Bataar No, I just really watch stuff and I don't comment on something I have no idea about.
Reading your comment made it clear you have no idea what the plot or the context in which it was given. Julius Caesar was a tyrant and he fought for himself, not for Rome and not for anyone.
@@SezarOroo > "Julius Caesar was a tyrant and he fought for himself, not for Rome and not for anyone."
Crikey, Pompey's propaganda last a long time.
@@jaywulf LOL
GOD I MISS B5
You and me both.
@@SezarOroo May they NEVER reboot or continue this series.
@@Excalibur01 Remaking this would be a crime.
@@SezarOroo they will try
Nothing is sacred
after the Molari/Narn conflict, the shadow wars and liberation of Earth , Sheridan was portrayed as a war monger , who missed the heat of battle . sitting in his war room, bored and desperate . maybe it's the realism that made me not like that
It's more of an example of the difficulty a veteran soldier has being tasked with political power that he didn't really ask for. It's something that has happened throughout history. The implication is that the theater of open battle is easier to understand than the complex of web of political maneuvering. I never saw Sheridan is a real war monger, rather a guy who has seen the absolute worst and expects the absolute worst, and prepares for the worst possible outcome.
Sounds like the kinda guy CNN would call a terrorist to me
While you said you would remove post regarding politics, this clip and this story arc is everything about politics... but it's not about partisanship, which people wrongly thinks as politics. We need to step back from personality cults and fandoms, and discuss issues like civilized people. In "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars" we can see all of that in contrast with one another.
This vid is NOT about politics, this vid is about the message of humanity itself uniting over the idea of not tearing itself apart, not hunting people in the night and not using secret police and trying to divide one another. This video, is about the idea, that people may be different in their ideas - but not using small differences between one another to say "what you say is invalid" - we have enough of it right now.
I don't and will never agree of the leakages of ideas such as modern conflicts to leak and take the focus of a very clear message in my eyes. I won't have the comment section here become a politics forum.
@@SezarOroo Well, strictly speaking it is about politics...but the politics within the B5 setting, not the real world.
@@VulpisFoxfire Thank you for explaining to me that this is a fictional show, I was worried about Clack returning in 2024 but now I'm much less worried.
Sheldon Cooper is wrong.
They should do a film where the US turns fascist and all US forces abroad have to return home and retake the country.
A film? The reality is not enough for you? 😀
Well, we're half way there.
I heard there might be an attempt to reboot this series
Let us join hands and pray they won't do it. There is no need to reboot what was done correctly in the first time.

Che vergogna che schifo
Sheridan vs Clark = Selenskyj vs Putin
No they're about as equal as president Clark
rather live on bab5 than ds9
Sheridan is a true Jordan Peterson... a fighter against oppression and dictatorship.
Peterson is a bigot and desperate to oppress his fellow citizen. We came home to crush these fascists.
@@jjkunzler You come home to eat burgers.
@@jjkunzler All godlessness ends in tyranny, degeneracy, and ruin.
One of Boxleitner's best performances in the show.
Yes. Very good. My favorite characters on the show were Mollari and G'Kar, but the show was good enough to give most of its characters true moments of glory. This was definitely one of the best for Sheridan.
Yes, what a wonderful show it was and still is.
One of his best period
Sheridan, a captain I'd gladly follow into battle
Same here. He respects his crew, he leads by example. He fights beside them. He never asks them to do anything he wouldn't do himself.
@@jamesspring4610 Same here too.
The Earth was under "Shadow" influence, if Sheridan didn't kick the Shadow's and the Vorlon's out of the Galaxy, that Vorlon Planet killer might have paid earth a visit.
This is why I always thought the fight for earth should have happen before the final showdown with the Shadows and Vorlons.
An the Telepath war should happen when Earth try to get Psicorp to fight along side the alliance against the Shadow, not knowing that Psicorp has been working with the Shadows for years an have a close alliance with them, well as close as one can have with the shadows.
This should have been a multi species war, as Psicorp is shown to have built alliances with telepaths across all of the other races and use their ability to make fake personalities to take over positions in various alien governments.
This war was eventually won, not sure how, but Byron then become leader of telepaths and lead them all into war with the shadows, which make his take over of babylon 5 and demand for a home world all the more believable.
JMS confirms this.
Oh God.... I never thought about that.... Sheridan literally saved the world.
Universe
This was the culmination of everything in the show, the apex moment when Sheridan finally comes home.
I have to say there were many great speeches said throughout Babylon 5, but this one gave me chills. in my opinion, this is THE best Sci Fi series EVER!
me too
Sheldon Cooper can kiss my a$$! B5 superior to ANY other scifi show, ESPECIALLY blatantly stolen rip off DS9.
me too
I'm still very partial to the Ivanova speech about being "the boot that is gonna kick your sorry ass.."
This is a great speech, but THE very best speech in Babylon 5 is G'Kar's monologue at the end of Season 3. "Greater than the death of the flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender."
We need people like John Sheridan or people who have courage like John Sheridan!
Amit Divecha
4 years ago Captain Archer and Adama are also courageous people.
We do- they're just being silenced.
We do. They're being harassed and blocked by FB and Twitter.
Imagine waiting for this for over four years at the culmination of a huge arc plot and understand why this is pure awesome.
+Gavin Lafferty it was actually suppose to be bigger but JMS was told he wasnt getting a season 5 so this was what he came up with
+roaklin JMS is getting a second chance :) screenrant.com/babylon-5-movie-reboot/
I hope so, atleast.
Won't be the same without Andreas Katsulas, Jeff Conaway or Richard Biggs.
@@roaklin It's not excatly made certain how much was cut. As I understand, "Intersections in real time" was supposed to be season 4 finale and Earth Alliance civil war was to be solved in 1st quarter of season 5. JMS has never elaborated how he would've made season 5 if he had "everything the way he wanted" and it's no use to ask.
He has a strict policy of not discussing alternative narratives of his established work, along with not wanting to hear story suggestions. Then again, legal stand point this is wise.
@@Ruosteinenknight JMS has stated that the return to earth was suppose to the bulk of season 5, but it got condensed into 4
Staging an intervention. On a planetary level.
This is something we, all of us, desperately need now.
Amazing scene Sheridan finally getting to stand against Clark face to face! Great writing and acting
I would've preferred it if Sheridan and Clark had a face to face confrontation via viewscreens where they accuse each other of betraying Earth and where Sheridan points out that Clark's lust for power nearly got Earth blown to pieces by the Vorlons as they were going to wipe out all planets that had Shadow influence, including Earth....
@@girlgarde this scene could never happen bc Clark isn’t rational character,he is dictator like others in history. who is power grabbing and his way is the only way and who cares what he is doing to earth in the end.the threat of vorlons destroying earth would never bother him, like hitler.
@@ghfun1 But if the Vorlons blew up Earth and wiped out Humanity, Clark would be dead too or at least not have a star nation to rule over. Of course, he didn't know any of this and even if he did, Clark would likely blame Sheridan for Earth getting destroyed somehow. Heck, he likely would've accused Sheridan in my story idea of almost getting Earth blown up by the Vorlons by acting against the Shadows.
Basically, it would've been an epic verbal showdown between two men with radically different visions on what they want Humanity to be even IF the whole "Earth would've gotten blown up by the Vorlons" thing never gets mentioned. It would've been George Washington vs Adolf Hitler basically.
I love how all those ships jump in
best speech i ever saw. shame some of our greatest dont have the balls this guy does!
I'm getting a feeling here, you and I are going to get along just fine
SezarOroo :)
Andy Gifford You're right, Sheridan did have the biggest set of balls on any sci-fi show!
John J. Sheridan = fictional freedom fighter
Donald J. Trump = real freedom fighter
Please don't insult Sheridan like that.
hell yeah.
keep firing... ... "engines to full.....' give me ramming speed ... Great tv.. !!!... i hear they are re launching the show guys with a re vamp cast ... pleeease dont mess it up guys B5's legacy is at stake u have a hard act to follow....
Any attempt to copy it and cash in again is blasphemy in my book. There are thing in the universe which cannot be improved. B5 is one of those lights you see, looking at a nighttime sky.
Honestly, I'd rather a show that took place in the same universe except it followed one of the other ships that went independent like the Alexander did, maybe another Omega class so we can finally see their full firepower. Or it could follow the ship but after the civil war, like during the Telepath War, the War with the Drakth, or the war with the Hand.
The US in 3 or 4 years?

Unfortunately yes. We're becoming another Ukraine. We engineered the 2014 coup and now the chickens are coming home to roost. As late as 2016 the Ukrainian Rebels and Loyalists were still talking to each other. At least trying to. Not anymore. It's all about revenge now. " Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. " And to my complete and utter horror I see no bloody point in talking to Uncle Joe or to the Woke garbage that he's in bed with. Not anymore.
