That is, in my opinion, Lee Adama's best scene in the entire series. And frankly, I think it's one of the best scenes period of the entire series. I still get chills listening to it. Jamie Bamber deserves a lot of praise for it.

I can see why Jamie got a standing ovation from the cast after this scene.

"Because we are not a civilization anymore!"

Man, I love when a character finally says what we've been screaming for seasons on end lol

"I even tried to persuade the Admiral never to return."
So many goosebumps

Great scene. Lee shows a crucial thing, that if Baltar is guilty, so are a lot of other people. I mean, sleazeball that Gaius is, the colonials put him on trial for one thing he didn't do.

This speech is what I did for one of my monologue in my Acting class. When I got feed back from everyone no one knew this scene and I was a little disappointed

It’s the year 2024 now. And this is still one of, if not THE, greatest court room speech(es) I’ve ever heard. They truly don’t make great shows like they used to. Battlestar Galactica is still one of, if not THE, greatest science fiction drama(s) of all time.

I remember watching this show the first time, and going into the trial of Baltar wondering how anyone could possibly argue that this man didn't deserve to die. It seemed so clear-cut. Then Apollo gave this speech, and I realized I had been judging him guilty based purely on emotion as well. I hated his character so much, that I thought he needed to die, and I was totally in the wrong. Great scene.

I love how Lee is only able to go on his little speech because he refuses to testify against his dad, who then is the one who lets him speak. What an insane scene

I really do love this scene and the great acting in this. Especially Jamie Bamber(Lee Adama), and learning how not only did he write some of those lines himself, but the producers and directors found the time for his performance in this episode. So say we all!

Seeing Lee grow from beneath the shadow of his father brings a tear to my eye :')

A character redeeming all of the viewer's annoyance and frustration against the plot without defying the plot. Absolutely amazing, perfect.

I have to ask: How many here realize that Lee's not just calling out the Fleet for their willingness to forgive people for their actions unless it was Gaius Baltar, but calling out the audience of the show as well for doing the same thing? He's basically saying that we, the audience, are willing to forgive almost all of the characters for certain things they've done, but we won't do it for Gaius Baltar. I guess the fourth wall couldn't protect us from his criticism about forgiveness as well.

Lee's testimony single handedly won the whole case.

This ranks right up there with Picard’s defense of Data in The Measure of a Man

Α large part of why I went to study law was this scene. An excellent meditation on the meaning of justice and public opinion.

Jamie Bamber should have won an Emmy for that performance. As good as bit of acting you'll ever see. With all credit due to the writers and director.

After this shoot all the actors praised Jamie for his acting and said it was some the best acting they been apart of.

No further questions.
Hands down it is one of the best Jamie's scenes in the entire series 🙇‍♂️

The great thing about this scene is that everything Adama says is absolutely right. Plenty of the so-called "good guys" have done countless bad things for the "greater good", yet no one wants to give any leniency for Balter. It reeked of hypocrisy, and Lee was correct in pointing that out. Even William had to admit the defense couldn't make their case. Of course this didn't phase Laura one bit...she was still in "Baltar must die" mode..
