  • [first lines]

    Spencer Olham: There wasn't always a war with the Centauri, but in my lifetime it's all I've ever known. By the year 2050, six years after the first attack, we'd lost so many things. We'd lost the sky to electromagnetic domes, to shield the Earth from frequent air raids increasing in intensity. We'd lost the uncovered cities that the government forgot. We'd lost democracy to global leadership. We didn't expect peace anymore with the Centauri, because we came to see that peace wasn't their goal. Their goal was Earth. The ultimate land war, with no boundaries.

    Captain Burke: Major, if I could suggest...

    Major D.H. Hathaway: [gestures for him to be quiet] So, when we were running in idiot circles, where did we pull troops? Captain Burke?

    Captain Burke: I pulled about a third of my detail from the Projects Site, sir.

    Major D.H. Hathaway: What about the Chancellory?

    Captain Burke: In place. Full complement.

    Major D.H. Hathaway: Lieutenant Burrows, how many men do we have at the hospital?

    [Burrows looks at him with realization that Olham decoyed the troops away in order to go to the hospital]

  • Spencer Olham: I know you're afraid. I know what they told you. That some ship got through the Dome and landed somewhere outside the city. A cyborg destroyed my body. They were right in theory, but they made one crucial error.

    Spencer Olham: The ship crashed! You see? That's what, that's what caused the fire. They miscalculated. The Centauri never got to me!

    https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aW411C79v The poster is not good looking. The special effects are not good, especially the explosion effect, which is too low. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av32833101

    Much better than expected. I don't know if it is related to the editing, and the conditions of the explosion are not clearly explained. But apart from this, Spencer's mental activities are well portrayed, and Gary's acting skills are also very comfortable to look at. Although there are no aliens at all, this pressure has already had an effect.
