I really enjoyed Crusade; I've been rewatching it online.
As someone said (a few times) over on IMDB, yes, the series as it exists can be kind of disjointed (not having any perfect, "Watch them in this order and everything will make sense" viewing order thanks to TNT's interference); but if you look at just the first thirteen episodes of B5's season one, you get a lot of unexceptional episodes there, and none f the really good ones that get into the arc. And the first thirteen episodes of Crusade do seem (not that it's objective lol) stronger than the first thirteen of Babylon, and look how awesome that ended up being!
I may never forgive TNT for screwing it over so badly. At the very least they could have allowed the last three episodes of teh season to air and then not trashed the sets etc, so The SciFi Channel or Space (Canadian version) would have been able to pick it up for the next season. As it was, they both desperately tried to find room to pick it up in their budgets, but it was cancelled after their budgets had been finalized for the season, and neither could fit it in there. :(
Yes! Red Dwarf is amazing and hilarious and if you haven't seen it yet, Sabotabby, you definitely should! :D You'll love it. It's great.
There used to be a really nifty show called Lexx as well, that was very weird and interesting and cool, and I don't think anyone else even remembers it (mid-90's or so? [late 90's-early oughts, according to IMDB. Went four seasons!]). It was a scifi show jointly done by Canada and I think Sweden, so you know it's going to be a bit odd, heh heh heh.
