Was I supposed to type something here?
This is indeed an inflection point. Not for the season; that was smashed two weeks ago and the pieces hammered into the mud one week ago, but for the program as a whole. Up or down. Hope of renewal, or descent into irrelevancy and obscurity.
(Note: Yes, they won. The remnants of the Persian Army were slaughtered and never made it out of Greece. The Spartans, unlike the male models shown in the film, wore bronze armor from head to toe and fought in close-ranked formation. The Persians wore no armor and fought in no particular order at all, relying on numbers to win the day. The Spartan Phalanx was a killing machine, and mowed down the Persians.
Sadly, the victory that day was short lived. Within a few years, Athens and Sparta were at war with one another, dragging the rest of the Greek city-states along with them in a terrible Civil War that lasted decades. When Athens was finally defeated, Sparta ruled loosely and Athens rose again but never to the strength she had pre-war. 30 years after the end of the Peloponnesian War, Sparta herself was defeated and never recovered after trying to reassert it's power over Boeotia.)
(Note: Some clever soul laid the lovely music from Branagh's Henry V over the earlier production of Sir Lawrence Olivier. Methinks Larry made the better speech, as he wasn't as much of a ham as Branagh... It is important to note that the film was shot during WWII and was intended as a morale boosting vehicle.
Yes, King Harry won that day, and achieved all that he set out to accomplish: Winning the Kingship of France, the daughter of the French King, and siring an heir. Unfortunately, he died of dysentery not long after, and in the words of the Chorus in the play:
"Henry the Sixth, in infant bands crown'd King Of France and England, did this king succeed;
Whose state so many had the managing,
That they lost France, and made his England bleed...")
