    I’m glad you enjoyed it Foleymo. Actually, there is a classical oratory structure which has been used since ancient times; it is probably drawn on by screenwriters when they need to write a rousing pre-battle speech.

    I’m sad that they didn’t include Buffy (especially as they are only 2 women in that collection) - I remember that she made a really great speech near the end of the final season, to encourage the potentials to keep fighting.

    Excellent!

    And I’ve seen every one of those movies…

    Except ‘The Never-Ending Story’, of course.
