okay so how long until the interstellar alliance turned into a fascist organization that just wiped out entire colonies?

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

I saw the novelisation prequel (?) Picard book was called Last, Best Hope, blatant B5 ripoff. Imagine Picard with a Centauri do, he'd be majestic. But instead he just looks like crabby feemale!

poo poo. The issues with TNT didn't help matters much, but I think it would've been painfully mediocre even had it been JMS' ideal vision.

Lots of interference in the show from TNT. One of the big ones was showing episodes out of order. Another was ordering new customers in the middle of filming the show. The show never got it's footing.

Crusade's "music" was seriously really bad. It was like they reached into the future and hired Dollar store Bear McCreary

I saw that pilot as it aired with a B5 mega fan, whose reaction started at stunned disbelief and transitioned to tearful laughter.

Weapon systems controlled like you're doing martial arts is totally something a child would think of. There is a reason in Super Robot Anime they don't even have the pilots doing this.

I’m still convinced it was going to be an excuse to get the female lead (or whoever was on guns in a future episode if it had been picked up) hot and sweaty so they’d have a pretext for shower and locker room scenes.

That was Enterprise. Or Lexx, for some reason the show with the living toilets feels less gross.
