In a CINESCAPE exclusive, BABYLON 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski revealed that the ill-fated spin-off series CRUSADE may finally be brought to an acceptable close.
Set five years after the events of BABYLON 5, CRUSADE tells the story of the Ranger ship Excalibur and its crew, who are in a race against time. An extraterrestrial plague has swept over the Earth and if the Rangers do not find a cure in the depths of space within five years (sensing a theme yet?), the planet’s population will be completely obliterated.
However, with his newest two hour telefilm, B5: THE LEGEND OF THE RANGERS, set to premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel – a network he feels understands how to handle sci-fi properly (a dig at CRUSADE host TNT) – in January 2002 and the potential for an ongoing series high, Straczynski has already envisioned a way to bring his previous failed series to a close.
“Well, CRUSADE was five years after the events of BABYLON 5,” says Straczynski. “[B5: THE LEGEND OF THE RANGERS] is two and a half years after the events of BABYLON 5, so in theory if one season equals one year then in about two and a half years we’re going to run into the events of CRUSADE.””
When asked flat out if, at that point, he would deal with the series within the setting of B5: THE LEGEND OF THE RANGERS, the creator merely replies: “Yes. Absolutely. It’s a sneaky way of handling it, but its nice.”

Do you have any idea how long thats going to take ?

Live long and.. um..
Have a Beer!
Fate of Crusade depends on the ratings of B5LR movie and/or season 1 (if B5LR ever goes into series).
Good ratings = Crusade is back.
Not good enough ratings = Scifi Channel says no to revival of Crusade.
In that case, JMS starts to apply Crusade into B5LR.
Crusade is only 90% dead. Hurrah!

If you remember in what Crusade episodes managed to make it to the airwaves, they were on to a really good possibility with the TechnoMage Nanobots technology...

Crusade was going to deal with Earth's involvement with Shadowtech. The cure was going to be found about Season 2.

Oh I just pulled this from the JMS Usnet site:
>Your most recent comments quoted on "Cinescape On-Line" have produced the
>latest round of "See, I *told* you 'Crusade' is definitely dead" posts.
>Based on your earlier comments, I didn't read it that way. It just sounds
>to me like you have a plan "B" in mind in case Sci-Fi decides it absolutely
>*isn't* interested in "Crusade" after "Rangers" has been on the air for
>awhile. Otherwise your preference would still be to finish the "Crusade"
>story on a show called "Crusade." Am I wrong?
Sigh...I guess these are people who, on finding one door locked, never think to
go in a window and just leave. You *always* have a plan B. Also a plan C, D
and E.
