A problem I had with Crusade that I hope won\'t be repeated
The problem I had was with the lack of familiarity. This was probably part of the reason for its bad ratings and cancellation.
The show had nothing that could be recocgnized as Babylon 5. Other than: Babylon 5 itself. The uniforms sucked. The well-known aliens we all came to love weren't there. I think there was one episode I viewed that had a Minbari in it (playing a courier). That was it. The sets didn't look right either. It didn't have the comforting feel of a Whitestar bridge or a B5 corridor.
It was pretty much a completly different universe separate from the original series. It didn't have the same feal or style to it. Maybe this was their intention, but it didn't feel right. I felt jaded every time I watched it. Plus it had... Gary Cole as the Captain. (shudder)
Hopefully, LOTR will be good. The fact that they have Minbari, Narns, Drazi and Rangers in it on a regular basis is an improvement. The fact that Dylan Neal has coolness and like ability coming off of him just in the stills gives me comfort. The fact that it has G'Kar in the movie is reassuring by itself.

something witty and clever.. so laugh dammit!
