4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory episode, but..., 8 Feb 2002
Okay, there will be three types of people looking at this review (i) those who saw the show on TV and are thinking of buying it on video (ii) those who saw B5 and wonder what the spin off was like (iii) people looking for a good science fiction show. If you fall into category (i) then you know how this series goes and that The War Zone was probably one of the best episodes in the series, acting both as a good introduction to the characters and plot and as a fast moving episode all in one. The Long Road I felt was weak, even though Galen featured prominantly it seemed corny compared to the first episode - this should have come later in the series I think, not at the start. To group (ii) readers, firstly this is not as good as B5. This is not a criticism as such as it is a competent show just don't expect vast plot arcs and storylines. The character of Gideon has his moments but as usual it is the aliens that make a series - Dureena is poor in these episodes but develops, while Galen impresses from the start (played very well and incorporates some of Marcus's best traits). I would encourage you to buy this video to dip your toe in the water as it does give a good impression of the series. Finally group (iii). I would encourage you to buy Babylon 5 over this, however if you like the Star Trek style of episodes where everything wraps up after 45 minutes you could do worse than these. Crusade, and especially these episodes, does not require prior knowledge of B5 (although it helps) and is a good place to introduce yourself to the B5 universe. There is action, there is humour, there is quality... but it's not B5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to series (though not up to Babylon 5 standards), 19 Feb 2003
By A Customer
This video comprises the first two episodes of the Crusade series - War Zone and the Long Road - that follow on where Babylon 5 left off.

War Zone starts the series with a new Captain, Matthew Gideon, assembling a crew to go with him on the starship Excalibur. Their mission is to seek out a cure to the Drahk virus due to overrun Earth. The second episode, Long Road, involves the Excalibur's crew in a tale of dragons on a planet Earth is strip mining. The Long Road is not as strong as War Zone, which drops my rating from 4 to 3 stars. However, fans of Techno Mages will enjoy the appearances of Galen and Alwyn...

Whilst this video stands alone as the launch of the Crusade series, you would be well advised to have watched Babylon 5 beforehand, especially the films, as Crusade follows straight on from the last Babylon 5 feature film: A Call to Arms (also available on video). Anyone thinking of watching Crusade would also do well to watch this video, as the series could be hard to follow without having seen War Zone first.
