    • Quotes

      Brett: [at west point graduation, about Billy] Oh Ashton isn't he hansome?

      Ashton: They all are... especially that one.

      Brett: I meant Billy.

      Ashton: I know who you meant. Although i dont understand what you see in that BOY when there are so many men available.

      Brett: Billy is the man for me.

      Ashton: Well I guess you'll just have to settle for whomever comes along, not being blessed with the same adventurous spirit as myself.

      Brett: And I'm sure your betrothed just adores that side of your nature.

      Ashton: James Huntoon. That sod.

      Brett: Ashton!

      Ashton: Theres only one thing about him I find attractive, he has a brilliant future in politics and politics, my dear sister, is where the power is.

      Brett: But you do love him, don't you?

      Ashton: HAHAHA. I couldnt possibly love just one man, think how dissapointed the rest of them would be.

    Historical accuracy is spotty but the characters and story are compelling
    One of my favorite miniseries of all time-right up there with Shogun, Roots, and Centennial. An amazing cast bring great books and characters to life. The settings are stunning, the story compelling and suspenseful, even funny and poignant at times, and the issues are still relevant today. Episode four offers twists and turns that heighten tension and propel the series from the midpoint into a spiraling descending arc of great drama that keeps you wanting more.
