2267 A.D. The battle is won, the war may be lost. After fending off the fierce attack of Drakh combatants, Earth faces an unseen yet even greater foe - a microbial, biogenetic plague that will destroy all life on the planet in five years if a cure isn't found. Crusade follows the race against time to find that cure - an urgent and hazardous quest that sends an Earthforce expedition across the reaches of space to explore technologies more advanced than Earth's. Leading this high-stakes archeological mission is a starship of the new Interstellar Alliance, the Excalibur, and its crew drawn from the Alliance's elite troubleshooting corps, the Rangers. With 7 billion lives at stake, action and courage against insurmountable odds must prevail in this Crusade.

Summary: Crusade almost as good as parent show
Comment: If you liked Babylon 5 you will enjoy this series. While not quite as good as the original show it spun off from it is very well done. Set in the universe of Babylon 5 it continues the storyline begun in Call to Arms. While the show did not come near to completing it's 5 year arc it is still well done and the story and characters are quite compelling.

Summary: Not as good as B5
Comment: After watching this unfinished series to completion, I have to say that I wasn't nearly as captivated by Crusade as I was Babylon 5. It might have been different if they would have continued the series to some kind of conclusion, but they diddled around with it too much, then came up with a killer finale to make us mad that the series died. The characters weren't nearly as engaging as the characters in B5, Lochley was never one of my favorite characters anyway. Seeing Dr. Franklin in the last episode was a plus but it didn't make up for the blunders in previous episodes, there were too many boring episodes for a first season, my wife and I ended up not caring what happened.
It could have been much better, it would definitely be interesting to see where this series might have gone, but we'll never know will we? -kd5-

Summary: Fun!
Comment: It does suffer from hurry-up-and-tie-everything-up-because-we-weren't-renewed, and some of the episodes seem to be out of order on the DVD For example: didn't Locksley and Gideon "hook up" in one of the earlier episodes yet in the last episode on the disk they seems to be only passingly familar with each other?
Having said that, this, for those of us who loved Babylon 5, is a "must own." Of course, take this advice from a guy who named his 1st-born son after one of the characters...

Summary: Not bad, but not B5 either
Comment: I enjoyed this series, and like most B5 fans, I was sorry to see it end after 5+ (mostly) glorious years. Unfortunately, due to events with Warner Brothers, Babylon 5 was moved to TNT for the 5th year, and while we did get some cool movies out of the deal, TNT was in some respects trying to milk it for what it could get, and Crusade was the result. I have enjoyed Gary Cole in other roles immensely (Office Space, American Gothic, etc.), and as we've seen, he and others from this series have gone on to star in other shows (Lost, Beastmaster, etc.), but Crusade came out at a time when Hollywood was expecting much more immediate results, and as such it wasn't allowed to blossom into the series that spawned it. I would definitely recommend this to any true B5 fan, and if you enjoy Science Fiction this may be for you as well. If you're just looking to kill some time, you might look elsewhere for your enjoyment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wish they made more!
Comment: Nice series with great potential. Very well done. Not B-5 which I very much enjoyed as well. I wish they made several more seasons as it explored several interesting themes and the characters were developing quite nicely.
