- Quotes
Tom Mason: [Voice-over] Despite the horror, the loss, the death, the war with the Espheni might have ultimately made us better human beings. We can actually christen a new melting pot; a world wide one. Our first goal: to welcome those, especially those whose methods we don't always understand. But our new found openness, our egalitarianism, should never come at the expense of our vigilance. For as the man said; 'those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it'. And we will forever more, be keeping our eyes on the skies. Now begins the work of rebuilding our world. And in that work we have both the responsibility and an opportunity to apply those lessons, and if we do, we have a chance to maybe build it just a little bit better than we did before.
Tom Mason: [On-screen speech] Once upon a time, there was a place called America.
[Audience cheers]
Tom Mason: But now, going forward, borders don't mean what they used to... because before we were countries, we were human beings. And despite the horror, the loss and the death, the war with the Espheni might very well have made us better human beings... because we've discovered, we are not alone.
So, I wouldn't judge this one so harshly. Be real, this is not the time and place to expect A Beautiful Mind or Ben-Hur. It's nice to get an end for a story you followed for so long. Also after all the pain and suffering I sort of enjoyed the idea of a happy end :). Don't appreciate much when something I watched leaves me with the feeling of hopelessness... The final speech was too much though - pure platitude. It did hold my attention and left me in a good mood.
However my main impression is - The Lord of the Rings. Like some digest version... The Queen is the twin sister of Shelob; the scene of alien creatures swarming around Washington obelisk - only missing the Eye of Sauron; main character stands alone to fight the doom - almost expected Frodo to appear; little curly guy writing the history - Frodo again; people gathered for the speech in the same shape and even colour (blue in the middle) as for the crowning of Aragorn; destruction of only one thing-ring/creature-Queen leads to literal disintegration of the enemy and the list goes on. This isn't the the first nor it is going to be the last show/movie/novel using LOTR as "inspiration" but it WAS almost unbelievable how they copy-pasted LOTR milestones "word for word". I was so bewildered. So much so it didn't even bothered me...
