Great series--too bad it was cancelled [Posted on 2008-08-18] This is a spin off of the Babylon 5 TV series. However, you don't really need any knowledge of the Babylon 5 series to enjoy it. To best understand this series, watch the prequel movie "A Call to Arms" first.
An alien species has infected Earth with a deadly virus. If a cure isn't found, everyone on Earth will be dead within five years with only the few humans who were on other planets, battleships or space stations at the time of infection being whose left of humanity. The new proto-type battleship "Excalibur" with Captain Mathew Gideon's (Gary Cole) goal is to explore other species and sources for a possible cure. They are to go anywhere and do whatever it takes to succeed in that goal.
It is too bad this series was cut short. It was interesting and Gary Cole made a great lead actor--not your typical stuffy military-type at all. He cheats, he lies, he speaks his mind regardless of rank, and he breaks the rules--but always for the right reasons.
The worst part is that the series just stops mid-stream/mid-season. They should have finished out the season and found a way to wrap things up. So what if it was only a one-year series? At least the viewers wouldn't have been left just hanging with no conclusions or closures. They talk about fan/viewer loyalty--how about reciprocating some of that loyalty to the viewers??? Don't get us hooked just to slam the door in our faces!! I liked the series very much and would have liked to see it continued.

This series is a great extension to the Babylon 5 universe. The characters are well developed and the casting perfect. JMS gave us his vision of the future with engaging stories, characters and the visual effects to back them up.
I regret that the series was killed during its first season. Now there are so many unanswered questioned raised by the episodes that were produced and aired.
It would be wonderful to see a few movies to answer the questions and close out the story arcs.
Great TV series! [Posted on 2008-09-16] Love this series. Too bad it only lasted 13 episodes. Highly recommended for B5 fans!
crusade [Posted on 2008-09-25] this was a very interesting series but it has left me unhappy becuase it has not got an ending to it will they be making any more episode of this series thank you
B5: CRUSADE [Posted on 2008-10-17] Considering I loved the B5 Series & movies, this was a natural purchase.
I've been looking for this title outside the internet for a few years now. I only just recently decided to seek it out on the net. I thought it was very good, the only problem I had with it was it was not presented in widescreen format, if it was, I would have given it a 5 star rating. That said, the story was solid and in depth. I was sorry to see the show did not progress farther than it did.
