"Crusade"

-created by j. michael straczynski
1999
Brief exposure to this short-lived spinoff (or its parent show BABYLON 5), will leave you feeling violated by mediocrity, with only one question...how can the talent gap between these writers/directors/actors and those who made it into the STAR TREK universe, be this chasmic? Are there really so few capable of producing TREK-level work, that the runners-up wouldn't be out of place in a high school drama department? One senses that it's not the actors' fault...gary cole especially deserved so much better.
