About this show

The Babylon 5 saga continues... In the late 23rd century, humanity defeats the evil Shadow race. But its allies remain--and they swear revenge. When the mysterious, hateful Drakh unleash a deadly biogenetic plague on Earth, mankind faces its demise within five years unless the Rangers--an elite army of light forged during civilization's darkest hours--can find a cure. Now, in a ceaseless battle against time and the dangers of deep space, the Rangers boldly pursue their mission: to destroy the Drakh and their alien allies. Diplomacy and negotiation mean nothing. With 7 billion lives at stake, action and courage against insurmountable odds must prevail in this Crusade.

Much like its predecessor, Babylon 5, this show's first season was laying the groundwork for what would come next. Unfortunately, creative disputes between the creator and the studio ended it before it truly began, but it is still worth watching.

An intricate plot that tried to steer clear of the restrictions and "enhancements" TNT tried to force on it. Sadly, TNT pulled the cord on the rebellion.

Not anywhere near the B5 standard. Low budget and a poor plot.
