Babylon 5
Who Do You Serve, And Who Do You Trust? ' Crusade ' picks up the torch from Babylon 5 , beginning in the late 23rd century, as humanity defeats the evil Shadow race. But its allies remain - and they swear revenge... When the mysterious, hateful Drakh unleash a deadly biogenetic plague on Earth, mankind faces its demise within five years unless the Rangers - an elite army of light forged with the Minbari during civilisation's darkest hours - can find a cure. Now, in a ceaseless battle against time and the dangers of deep space, the Rangers aboard the advanced prototype starship ' Excalibur ' boldly pursue their mission: to find a cure for the plague and to destroy the Drakh and their alien allies. Diplomacy and negotiation mean nothing. With 7 billion lives at stake, action and courage against insurmountable odds must prevail in this crusade. Political intrigue, challenging philosophical ideals and hilarious comedy blend with high-octane action and spine-tingling drama - expected in a Sci-Fi saga of Babylon 5's epic nature! ' Crusade ' features some of the best loved key characters from 'Babylon 5' including Captain Elizabeth Lochley (Tracy Scoggins), Doctor Franklin (Richard Biggs) and Galen (Peter Woodward), alongside many new crew members headed by Matthew Gideon (Gary Cole). Episode titles: 'War Zone', 'The Long Road', 'The Well Of Forever', 'The Path Of Sorrows', 'Patterns Of The Soul', 'Ruling from The Tomb', 'Rules Of The Game', 'Appearances and Other Deceits', 'Racing The Night', 'The Memory Of War', 'The Needs of Earth', 'Visitors from Down The Street', 'Each Night I Dream'.
