Babylon 5 is an epic science fiction television series created, produced & largely written by J Michael Straczynski. Its music was composed by Christopher Franke. The pilot movie, The Gathering, aired on February 22, 1993 & the regular series initially aired from January 26, 1994 through November 25, 1998, first in syndication on the short-lived Prime Time Entertainment Network, then on cable network TNT. Because the show was aired every week in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 without a break, the last four or five episodes of the early seasons were shown in the UK before the US. The series won several awards  , including two Hugos for Best Dramatic Presentation. One of the Hugo awards is used as a prop in the final episode, marking the first time that a Hugo has been shown on-screen in a series that won a Hugo. The series, often held as a good example of space opera, consists of a five year story arc taking place over five seasons of 22 episodes each.

Crusade is a fresh new road for a sci fi series. Ripping free from the politically correct Babylon 5, it delivers brilliance in 13 outstanding episodes of mans desperate space-search for a cure for a plague that could wipe out mankind. It really is a shame that the show wasnt allowed to continue. Yes, sad really. This DVD collection is a monument to sci-fi art, & should belong on a wall in your home.
