Crusade was allright. I believe it sufferred, like Firefly, in that some episodes were originally aired in the wrong order. I would have liked to see where the story was going with the little box that talked to Captain Gideon.

I didn't like the end of Crusade, it was too much CGI without the greatness, so it looked rubbish. However, I joined the B5 fans after the Shadow Wars, so I can't wait to watch that on DVD

I enjoyed B5. I also enjoyed Crusade although it needed more time to grow into it's own series. I would definitely rent it and watch it in the order it was supposed to be seen in. Hard to believe that was 6 years ago already.

Crusades had about 8-9 episodes. It's mission to save the earth from a Shadow disease that was slowing killing everyone on Earth. They have one year to find the cure. The clock is ticking. You win - you die scenario. The Crusades just didn't go anywhere with the short time it had. It did come up with a few good characters like the techno mage, and the weird archeologist looking for relics. Beyond that, I wish it had lasted longer, or a made for TV movie to finish up their mission. It would be nice to know where they found the cure, and who/what tries to stop them.

I was a huge fan of B5 right from the begining. I loved the whole mystery behind it and the overall story arch. I like ongoing series like this and it was good to see DS9 do the same. I'm not one to debate which was better or who ripped off who, I liked both B5 and DS9. I would never take B5 as the anti-trek that Firefly I guess tried to be. However I feel there is room enough in the Vers for all. While B5 suffered from low production value, it more then made up for it in story. Man, JMS wrote every script for 3 seasons. You don't get much better then that and he had Harlan Elison as an advisor.

I was a big fan of B5, but for some reason or other could not get into crusade. I'm not sure why though, I loved the universe, choice of actors and the characters. But just the same I couldn't seem to get into it. Possibly because you allready knew the outcome of everything thanks to the finale of the original B5. I still plan to get them on dvd if possible though, for completness sake.

I too was a big fan of B5, and have to admit I was deeply moved by the final episode (I think it was originally shot as the fourth season finale). Crusade wasn't bad, but it definitely deserved at least a second season. Legend of the Rangers, on the other hand...

Hi there, first post and it is in this area.. Great series B5 was and Crusades was good but like what was previously said it suffered from lack of care by the network that was airing it. It could have been better and carried on the legacy of B5 if only, like now, Science Fiction was taken more seriously. I would rent it just to get a different perspective and for the effects..All pretty good.

I loved B5 when it was on tv on a regular basis. ![Smilie](https://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/newsmilies/smile.gif) I even enjoyed Crusade. I have all of B5 on dvd including the movies that have been released onto dvd. I also got Crusade. Wished it had lasted longer than 1 season.

I agree. I think Crusade had a chance, but the studio killed it by releasing the eps out of order. I remember the angst that caused back in 1999.
I have all of the B5 episodes on tape, but they probably are no longer viewable due to age.

Having never watched any B5 stuff the first time around, I have just finished Season 2 of the DVDs.

I have some of the B5 episodes on vhs tape that I had bought when they became available in groups of 3 episodes at a time. Most I think are from season 1. Not sure what to do with them now that I have all 5 seasons on dvd along with the movies. Only B5 movie I'm needing now is "Legend of the Rangers" on dvd.

Aye I loved B5, when i could see it, but the TV company kind of lost interest, and showed only the last few episodes in a single week to conclude the series. ![Sad](https://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/newsmilies/sad.gif)
I have tried to catch up on the web, but with so many fan sites, and fan created 'continuing stories' I am confused as to exactly what is what :!:

So Warrior, what do you think so far?
I really enjoyed the stories and the overall arc.
I don't exactly remember the seasons anymore. Is Sinclair still in charge?

Sinclair was only in charge during the first season if I remember right. He may have been in charge for awhile during season 2, but Sheridan took over as the station CO & by the 5th season Sheridan was President of the Alliance & Lockey was in charge of the station til the end of the series.

Sinclair was first season only.
Sheridan came in right from the start of season two.
I didn't really care for how that was handled. I really liked, and actually preferred, Sinclair over Sheridan.
I was so happy seeing Sinclair return in "War Without End", the conclusion of the Babylon 4 episode from season one.

tee hee! ![Smilie](https://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/newsmilies/smile.gif) One of the episodes I liked I think it was an episode for Crusade. It is when Lockley was in charge of the station & the Excalibur comes to the station for a visit & Lockley takes the Captain of the Excalibur down below section of the station. They had made a bet that she wouldn't be known by anyone out of uniform in that area of the station & then he is shocked when the food vender they stop at refers to her by name. ![Smilie](https://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/newsmilies/smile.gif)

that really does help, but to be honest I would rather watch than read, one can't really appreciate the special effects in text ![Sad](https://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/newsmilies/sad.gif)

Not a one, but I do have a good visual memory.
I started to watch B5 as a client once said "I want it just like..." so I had to watch to see like what! then got hooked on the story line (day of the dead was great).
But trawling the web, finding refrences to B6! etc. does get very puzzeling ![Wink](https://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/newsmilies/wink.gif)

To help with *some* of the FX visualization, take a look in the Gallery
As for B6, some old friends of mine create a 3d model of a B6 station.

Ah, I was wondering where that came from, kind of thought that I might have missed something.
