You have to see this!
The X-Files was a great television series. And Babylon 5: Crusade had the potential to be another. Alas, network politics nipped it in the bud. Crusade was cancelled after a mere thirteen episodes.
But not before it produced this episode, which would have justified the creation of the series even if it had been the only episode ever shown. It's one of the cleverest and most hilarious spoof of one TV series ever done by another.
Well, of two other series, really- if one counts the zinger Captain Gideon deals another well-known space opera in the closing scene, during his conversation with his first officer.
Part Two- the conclusion- is here. If you have an hour, watch this episode. You'll be glad you did- especially if you are an X-Files fan. And I think you'll join me in regretting the fact that Crusade didn't have the long and successful run it so richly deserved.
