Re: [B7L] Twenty moments when you know you're watching the best TV show ever made

Harriet and Sally -

<9) Voice from the Past: The politics, you apathetic lot!>

Who, us? <wide eyed injured look> That's all I watch it for, of course.

Seriously, I do think the episode is important (if rather less than brilliantly executed :-))

I know people have their favourites but I've never really been completely satisfied with any representation of power-politics in TV or film. Like sport, politics seems to be hard to capture. Perhaps because 'liveness' is so important. I'm trying to think of any example, from B7 or otherwise, which even begins to capture the excitement of real politics unfolding and I can't.

(for non-brits, I'm watching real politics unfold on TV at present)
