The Great TV Meme Day 11 - A Show That Dissapointed You
Crusade.
By now it should be obvious that I'm a huge fan of J. Michael Straczynski's work. Crusade, a spin off of Babylon 5, had a lot of potential, but it was on the wrong network. TNT kept trying to get JMS to change the show by adding more "sex and violence" (which apparently is what all network suits think will make a show successful) and ultimately the show was cancelled after it's first season. There were a lot of kinks and wrinkles to iron out, but I think most of them could of been fixed. Because this show had one major thing going for it:
Galen.
The show was all over the place and never had a chance to hit it's stride. And the music was a major departure from Chris Franke's amazing work for B5; at the time Crusade originally aired, I hated it. But it may be time for another viewing.
