Am a big fan of Babylon 5 series and the books.Crusade starts off with one of the strongest story lines ever,Earth has been infected with a plauge, everyone will be dead in 5 years, captain Gideon here's a ship and a crew - go out and find a cure before its too late! Wow! great start.But episode 1 collapses 2/3rds of the way through starting with a lame puff ball fight with some Drakh soldiers and an even more odd silent space battle.Episodes 2-8 are barely watchable. Just filler, no furthering of plot line.I stopped after 8 episodes and traded the set at the used DVD store for a copy of the new THING.
