The funny thing is when I saw crusade , B5 series 1 had only been aired in my little neck of the woods. I picked up that it was part of the series because of the similarities between the two. At that stage , I'm ashamed to admit (hangs head) I wasn't the B5 fan that I am now. Understanding and enlightenment was slow to dawn but it eventually did.
Anyway to get back to my point, a friend found 5 of the crusade tapes at an obscure little video shop. Now this is the first time that I have seen these tapes in my country, suffice to say I took the and watched them. Episodes 1 through 10. Only now, several years down the line can I appreciate them fully. It struck home yesterday when I was sitting and watching this amazing series that this is the be all and end all of Crusade. Through the short sighted and narrow minded SOB's the sci-fi community is denied an amazing treasure. I can't say that I enjoyed it more than B5 but then again it wasn't given a chance to grow. I'm wondering if we don't have an ancestor of Clarkes running things from behind the scenes.
