I'd rate:

In the Beginning 5/5
A Call to Arms 4.8/5
The Gathering (re-edit) 3.5/5
The River of Souls 3.5/5
Thirdspace 3/5
To Live and Die in Starlight 1/5

Liked it?  Not me, not initially, but I got used to it, except for the
awful noise (boings, dog barking, baby crying, etc.) at the end of
"Ruling from the Tomb."  The music over the main titles seemed
mainstream.

Correct.

Just because it's different, it doesn't mean it's wrong for the B5
universe.  Other than that bit of awful noise over the end credits of
"Ruling from the Tomb", I thought it gave Crusade just the right,
foreign, strange, alien feel.  It's a different show.  It's not B5.

"Keen Eddie" (2004)
Fiona: Get out.
Eddie: Out of the kitchen?
Fiona: Out of the kitchen, out of the flat, out of London, out of the
world. It's full. Get out.
Eddie: I can't get out of the world. I didn't pull the kind of math
grades you need to qualify for the space program.

"Brimstone" (1998)
Angel: Oh, there's one more thing you should know. Your fate was never
determined until you killed Gilbert Jax. All in all, you've led a good
life, Ezekiel. Have faith. Your work's appreciated.
