The Greatest Form of Art

I was thinking about great Sci Fi scenes and the one that popped into my head was the finale to the 5th season of Deep Space Nine, where the camera zooms in on Sisko on the Defiant and as the music builds and builds we see the combined federation / Klingon fleet fill the screen, amazing!

A Painting is art, music is art, writing is art. So many other types of art qualify, but the moving image, the movie or even TV is where most forms of art come together.

Every so often a movie or TV show will deliver a scene where the music, the dialogue, the acting and the visuals will all come together in a perfect way. I don't think any other art form can boast this combination of art in one place.

This is why I don't bother going to art galleries. :-P
