Greetings, and new subscriber here and I enjoyed your latest show and me and my wife just fished re-watching Babylon 5. Plus I have 2 comic issues of it, plus my wife got me back into it when I first met her. I was and still a Farscape fan.

Fun fact about this episode: JMS hated it. He very publicly posted on the Babylon5 usenet group how much he hated it before Crusade even premiered. He posted that the episode was a network requirement. He posted it was made clear to him that the show would be canceled if he did not make the episode, and worse, the episode had to obey every single network note. The fight that starts the episode was a network note, for example. Midway through production the show was "paused" at the network's request, and a whole bunch of changes were made. This is why the uniforms changed. You can tell Warzone was one of the later episodes because the crew are wearing the 2nd generation uniforms. Another fun fact, the general consensus of the Babylon5 usenet group was that the music sucked. JMS posted on usenet that the music was a deliberate attempt to be more experimental and different.
