One of my favorite TV series of all time was Babylon 5. It was the first series, at least on American TV, to follow a pre-planned 5 year long story arc. Each season was conceived to be one novel within a 5 novel series.
After B5 other TV shows began to copy its format. Star Trek: Deep Space 9 with it mulit-season "Dominion War" arc and the entire Farscape series and to a lesser extent Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis.
The scene shown here is from one of the spinoff movies about the Earth-Minbari war. The war, in which the human race was almost destroyed forms the background for the series. Here we see the Centari Emperor Londo Mollari distracting some children from the horror of the destruction of their own capital city (in yet another war) by telling them of the courage he witnessed when he was the Centari Empire's ambassador to the Earth Alliance during their war with the Minbari Federation.
