[QUOTE="Endur, post: 2935526, member: 3346"] JMS & TNT gave us season 5 and the B5 movies, and I'm grateful for that ([I]In The Beginning [/I] was fantastic). Crusade didn't measure up to any season of B5. Even season 5 of B5, the weakest of the five B5 seasons, was better than season 1 of Crusade. Obviously, there was a certain amount of fatigue setting in with the B5 crew, and bringing in new actors for Crusade would allow the show to grow in new directions. Did TNT give Crusade a chance to get better? No, TNT didn't. TNT pulled the plug. TNT looked at Crusade, decided it didn't look enough like B5, and dropped it. As to whether JMS could have given more B5 seasons ... he could have if he wanted to. The fifth season was a "bonus" season, after all. He completed his original five season story in the first four seasons because he didn't think he would have a fifth season. B5 stands as a complete story if you just watch seasons 1-4. Some of the things he dropped in season 4 for lack of room were then brought back into the fifth season as well as some new things. [/QUOTE]
