Line 5:
{{quote|''"Just so we're clear: once we go, this is my command. I'll do whatever's necessary. If that means turning the entire galaxy upside down and shaking its pockets to see what falls out, that's what I'll do. I'm not subtle, I'm not pretty, and I'll piss off a helluva lot of people along the way, but I'll get the job done."''|'''Captain Matthew Gideon'''}}
[[Spin-Off]] from ''[[Babylon 5]]'' telling the story of the spaceship Excalibur and the search for a counteragent to/cure for a slow-acting biological weapon that had been successfully deployed against the Earth in the B5 movie "A Call to Arms". '''''Crusade''''' retained two characters from that movie, Galen the techno-mage and Dureena Nafeel the alien thief. Despite its unfortunate resemblance to ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'' (''Star Blazers'' in North America), ''Crusade'' showed promise before its premature death (only 13 episodes were completed out of a planned five seasons).
This being said, the series suffered terribly from [[Executive Meddling]] - it was commissioned by a network whose understanding of the series pretty much stopped at "We'll be rolling in money if this is as popular as ''Babylon 5'' was," and then later learned that this wasn't the case anyway -- and the relationship between creator/producer [[J. Michael Straczynski]] and the network [[Screwed by the Network|broke down completely]] while the first season was still in production. By the time the series went to air, it had already been cancelled.
