*Loved* Babylon 5, but definitely *not* Crusade. Something about the
Technomage character I personally found extremely annoying ... the
supercilious pontificating git!   ;-)

I'm not entirely sure what it was about him that annoyed me and why,
but am I alone in this?

Other than that, it would have been alright!     :)
