Jumpgate #129 - Crusade planned episodes & series overview

Vera Wylde and Jessie Gender take up residence on Babylon 5 and the Excalibur on its Crusade, taking in one episode at a time. Crusade is over, and now it's time to take a look at the plans that never came to be and arrive at an overall assessment of this short-lived spin-off.

I have to disagree with Vera. I am totally ready for adding fantasy elements and ideas into to B5, assuming they could function within the base logic of the show. I think it seemed weak because jms was TIRED. If he'd had more time to develop Crusade I think it might have been better. B5 was produced on a BRUTAL schedule, jms didn't delegate well. You can see him aging in bts pics. But in concept, I really enjoyed the elements added to Crusade and I wanted to see how it developed.

Back in the 1990s there was a show made of pure stoner humor called "Sifl and Ollie" A few episodes into Crusade my Daughter started greeting each new episode of the show by singing "The Galen and his Friends, The Galen and his friends show!" to the tune of the Sifl and Ollie theme. I was hoping they'd have gotten over it.
