8/10
A pilot to a series that looks to need some serious direction.
21 January 2002
As a pilot movie goes, it was pretty good. The dialogue was good, and extremely funny in parts, decent effects, and good acting. However, the premise for this show is not nearly has good as Crusade's, and the fact that JMS had to bring in a "bigger, badder" alien race makes me wonder if this should have been made at all. Andreas Katsulas was great as G'Kar as usual, but too many of his lines were re-hashes of some of his best stuff from the original series and seemed liked forced references to remind us that this is a Babylon 5 series. Overall not bad, but needs something more than a new mysterious powerful race to make this show half as good as Crusade, and 1/4 good as Babylon 5.
