So it looks like this is really a "Crusade +" movie. Pity they just didn't flat out make it a Crusade movie with the other GOOD characters... Dureena Nafeel, Max Eilerson and Captain Gideon - actually perhaps for the exception of the Doctor on Crusade - that was a pretty good group of characters!

Just poor dialogue and a real lack of any urgency at all made the show (often) suck pretty hard.
It would have been far better if the crew was always stressed about someting...like mabye the countdown to everyone on Earth dying if they dont find a cure!
That might stress me out a tad, but not the crew of the Excalibur: plenty of chuckles in almost every episode.
Better than Legend Of the Rangers though (I refuse to use LOTR to describe such crap-ola).

Agree with you on both points there Jason - the 'feel' of the show was too, laid back - as if they KNEW that they had at least 5 years to deal with the threat. Each episode should have been a nerve-wracking search for the truth/cure. Sorta like an "outbreak" situation perhaps? Yes, too many chuckles and side-stories. The series was directionless. I mean we had episodes at strip clubs, dealing with Scully and Mulder aliens, uniform design etc. etc.
And yes I shudder when I see the B5:LOTR acronym.
Legend of the Rangers or nothing thanks.

You're supposed to be nerds here! How about just the First One who looks like a flying radio mast? That's the most rare one.

It was almost as if I went to Google and typed in "babylon five first ones ships" and this appeared.
One cool ship, an antenna and two fiery potatoes.

You question me, turnip slayer? I can back up anything. Oh yes, I can.

Is that a Tyrannosaurus Skull? Is that trying to say that that Predator is millions of years old - or it got it off another planet that also evolved dinosaurs?

Those first ones really bugged me. First, in the episode dilogue, they mentioned having five, yet we only see those four guys (HA! Take THAT, Mr. JM "I can explain everything in my own story" S!). Secondly, on at least one of those ships we were led to believe that is actually WAS a ship, milions of years old, with a single crew that was tooling around the galaxy with no real mission.
I dunno, sounded a lot like hunting for Pokemon, really...

The BGH materalized onboard Team White Star's ship and grumbled at them. But it was being projected from the ship that was nearby, rather than flying around in space on its own, as I recall.

The BGH was from the huge one that sorta looked like the big jellyfish from "Encounter at Farpoint", except dark and sparkly. And it was more like a mask over a bright light or something. Anyone have a screener of that?
