Season 1 / Episode 13: – Each Night I Dream of Home Lt. John Matheson: You’re smiling. Capt. Matthew Gideon: No, I’m not. Lt. John Matheson: With respect, sir- Capt. Matthew Gideon: It’s gas. Look, who are you going to believe, me or my face? Anyway, we should think about coming back here on our next leave. The crew could use a break. – Doctor’s orders. Life goes on! Lt. John Matheson: Indeed it does. Indeed it does. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 13: – Each Night I Dream of Home David Williams: The only way I can… get through the blockade is if I am contaminated. Capt. Matthew Gideon: Mr. Williams, if you do this, you could be dead in less than five years. David Williams: Captain, I could be dead tomorrow. We all die. I can’t live without her. And I’d rather live five years with her than a hundred years without her. Can’t you understand that? Capt. Matthew Gideon: Maybe someday, if I’m as lucky as you are. |

I try and do my part. – You’re looking a little pale there yourself, Captain. Capt. Matthew Gideon: I just had one of those conversations that makes you want to lie down – for about a year. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 13: – Each Night I Dream of Home Capt. Matthew Gideon: It’s a strange thing, Lieutenant. If I close my eyes I can see every detail of the Earth’s surface as clearly as we’re seeing it right now. But after my father died, I tried to remember his face. But it always slipped away from me. Why is that, I wonder? Lt. John Matheson: Maybe it’s because we can’t decide which face to remember. The face of our father when we were children, the face of our father the first time we left home, the face of our father the last time we saw him. They all blur together. We lose the details. But Earth is constant. Earth is forever. Capt. Matthew Gideon: You’re too young to be having thoughts this old, Lieutenant. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 13: – Each Night I Dream of Home Capt. Matthew Gideon: Anything yet? Lt. John Matheson: Negative, sir. Capt. Matthew Gideon: They’re now two hours late. Any more word from Earth?

John Matheson: Aye, sir. And where will you be? Capt. Matthew Gideon: I’m going where I can feel the wind on my face for a while. [cut to: Capt. Gideon relaxing, enjoying a drink, and the wind] Capt. Matthew Gideon: Paradise. |

Matthew Gideon: It’s an amazing thing, technology. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 11: – The Needs of Earth Capt. Matthew Gideon: I may have an idea. Dr. Sarah Chambers: I don’t think you’ve recovered from your last good idea. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 11: – The Needs of Earth Natchok Var: [listening to music he found on a data crystal] This is yours? Capt. Matthew Gideon: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Here. – I should- Dureena Nafeel: It was my family. They sold me into slavery to pay off their debts. Did what they had to do. It doesn’t bother me. When – When do you want that back? Capt. Matthew Gideon: When you’re done with it. |
 |
Season 1 / Episode 10: – The Memory of War Galen: [After finding a glyph on some nanobots] A glyph, yes. A sign. A signal. A warning to others like us.

|
Season 1 / Episode 10: – The Memory of War Galen: [holding one of these probes] I want you to know that this thing just made a very large dent in my ship. Did you ever think about looking outside before you start throwing things overboard? Capt. Matthew Gideon: Maybe next time you’ll let us know when you’re coming. So what brings you here this time? Galen: An attempt, in all probability foolish and useless, to prevent you from going down to that planet. Capt. Matthew Gideon: Galen, my people have been looking for this place since we left Earth. Now that you’re here, what could you possibly say that would change that? Galen: Well, how about if you go down there, the odds are that none of you will return alive? – Clear me for docking. Put away the breakables. Turn on the landing lights. I’m coming in. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 10: – The Memory of War Max Eilerson: [to Dureena] I’ve decided to re-define our relationship. You pretend that you can’t speak. I’ll pretend that I can’t hear. We’ll get along famously. |

|
Season 1 / Episode 9: – Racing the Night General Miller: And it is our firm belief that Capt. Gideon is the right man for this job. His reputation– Drazi Ambassador: We are aware of your captain’s reputation. He has taken part in more battles during peacetime than most officers face in a major war. His latest involved one of our captains, who was justifiably upset after losing everything he owned in a card game. Losing *to you*. Capt. Matthew Gideon: He bet everything he had on a bluff. Not my fault. |
|

|

|

|
Season 1 / Episode 9: – Racing the Night Galen: The answer is still no. For now. Dureena Nafeel: Then there’s hope? Galen: There is always hope. Only because that is the one thing no one has figured out how to kill. Yet. |

 |

It’s now three days since our visitors arrived on behalf of Earthgov’s political affairs office. There’s apparently some concern with how our work here is being perceived back home.

|
Season 1 / Episode 8: – Appearances and Other Deceits Max Eilerson: Bring me more of these… Salted.

|
Season 1 / Episode 8: – Appearances and Other Deceits Capt. Matthew Gideon: Begin recording letter. Computer: Confirmed. Capt. Matthew Gideon: Dear Mrs. Greenberg.

I have submitted his name for a commendation. He was – He was a good man, Mrs. Greenberg. And all the commendations won’t make up for his absence at the dinner table. But you should know that he was a brave man who did what needed to be done and we all owe him our lives. My sincere condolences on your loss. And should you feel the need to talk please do not hesitate to contact me. Capt. Matthew Gideon: Dear Mr. Arkham, your son David gave his life in the performance of his duty. I was his commanding officer. |

|
Season 1 / Episode 7: – The Rules of the Game Dr. Sarah Chambers: So, this is Babylon 5. It’s everything I expected. Noisy, crowded, and constantly in trouble. Still, you have to give it credit.

|

Matthew Gideon: You do? Real honest-to-God hot running water? Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Yea. But you’ll have to wait while it recycles. Capt. Matthew Gideon: We don’t have to wait to recycle the water. We could, uh – we could share. Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Environmentally safe. Capt. Matthew Gideon: Waste not, want not. Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Absolutely. |
|

Matthew Gideon: I never get to have any fun. – Oh. Sorry! *Almost* never get to have any fun. Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: Speaking of which, and I think we should before you leave – I’m still not entirely certain how things went so fast between us. It’s really not like me to, well – uh. Anyway, I mean, I don’t regret that it happened – Capt. Matthew Gideon: Neither do I. Capt. Elizabeth Lochley: I just don’t want you to get the wrong impression.

 |
Season 1 / Episode 6: – Ruling From the Tomb Gideon: All these precautions are nice, but … Elizabeth Lochley: “Nice?” Captain Gideon, “security” happens to be my middle name. Gideon: Yeah, that’s all well and good, but just in case your last name is “Breach” it won’t hurt for me to double check. Elizabeth Lochley: Double check? |
|

|

|
Season 1 / Episode 6: – Ruling From the Tomb Gideon: *Married*? You’re telling me some guy actually managed to land you. Got you to lower your defenses enough to commit, and then let you get away? God, he must be the biggest loser in the galaxy. Elizabeth Lochley: Oh, major loser. They don’t come any bigger. Gideon: Loser have a name? Elizabeth Lochley: John Sheridan. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 6: – Ruling From the Tomb Elizabeth Lochley: I need specifics, Lt. Carr. Your saying you’ve got it covered isn’t enough. Lieutenant Carr: It’s enough, Captain, if I really do have it covered. Elizabeth Lochley: Drawing conclusions isn’t your job, Lieutenant, it’s mine. You present me with the facts, I draw the conclusions… |
|
Season 1 / Episode 6: – Ruling From the Tomb Max Eilerson: Anyway, Christ came to tell us to love one another, and the last 2,200 years, we’ve spent killing each other on how he said it? When you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy. Dureena Nafeel: [to Trace Miller] I’m starting to agree with him, and that’s more than I can bear. Would you care to dance? Trace Miller: Love to. |
|

|

|
Season 1 / Episode 5: – Patterns of the Soul Max Eilerson: [to Gideon] Must be difficult for you, being a career military officer, having to play the roles of jailer, ferryman, executioner. That’s where we’re different. I just do what I’m told. The corporation knows all, sees all, and tells very little. If we make a bad call, we can honestly say that we’ve acted in good conscience based on the information available. Absolution in absentia, the blessed state of being able to say, “It’s not my fault.” |
|
Season 1 / Episode 5: – Patterns of the Soul Capt. Matthew Gideon: Granted, I’m a bit eccentric, as captains go. Dureena Nafeel: Yeah. You gamble. Capt. Matthew Gideon: Yeah. Dureena Nafeel: Yeah.

Season 1 / Episode 5: – Patterns of the Soul Max Eilerson: [dictating] To close my report, I’d like to make one note for the record.

|
Season 1 / Episode 4: – The Path of Sorrows Capt. Matthew Gideon: It’s easier not to want forgiveness or to expect it. You just keep trying to fix the mistake so you don’t have to ask. But you end up trying so hard to atone for one set of mistakes, you overcompensate and make new ones and then you can never break out of the cycle. You just keep going round and round. No way out. Nowhere to go. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 4: – The Path of Sorrows Isabelle: [dying] Listen to me, Galen, my dearest love… You must learn one day to forgive God for his decisions. I’m sure it would greatly relieve him. If there is a purpose, if there is a design, if there is a way – after I’m gone I will call to you and say your name and send you a message. And you will know I was right, as usual. Kiss me good night. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 4: – The Path of Sorrows Lt. John Matheson: We received a message for you a little while ago. Galen: That’s not possible. How could anyone even know how to find me? Lt. John Matheson: I don’t know, but the message is incomplete. It just has your name … and the word “love.” The rest of it just got lost in static. Galen: Could you tell where it came from? Lt. John Matheson: No. The computer said it didn’t come from any specific location. Galen: Just out there, in general, somewhere? Lt. John Matheson: Yes. Galen: Not possible. Lt. John Matheson: I know. Isabelle: [in Galen’s memory] If there is a purpose, if there is a design, if there is a way – after I’m gone I will call to you and say your name and send you a message. And you will know I was right. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 4: – The Path of Sorrows Capt. Matthew Gideon: Anything yet? Capt. Matthew Gideon: How about you? Max Eilerson: Oh, Right. I found a way in half an hour ago. I guess I just forgot to tell you. Silly me. |
 |
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Galen: [about Isabelle] Every technomage knows the fourteen words that will make someone fall in love with you forever, but she only needed one. Capt. Matthew Gideon: What word? Galen: “Hello.” |
|
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Galen: What have you done to your quarters? Dureena Nafeel: I made it the right size. I don’t know why everybody else always makes things huge. This is the way I like it, nice and small. Have a seat. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Galen: Do you think I’m hiding things from you? Dureena Nafeel: Gideon says we all have things to hide. Galen: Does he? How unfortunate. I was hoping he’d come farther than that. Not that it isn’t true, of course. It’s just that one simply doesn’t have to say it. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Max Eilerson: I think it’s safe to say that we’re not being consumed, but it’s certainly an odd, chewing rhythm. Capt. Matthew Gideon: If it’s not eating us, what’s it doing? – No it’s not! It’s mating with us? Galen: Well it’s not exactly the first contact situation that I’d have envisioned, but- |
|
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Capt. Matthew Gideon: [to Galen] I didn’t ask how you screwed me, I asked why. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Lt. John Matheson: Sir, before you go into your meeting, I wanted to let you know that Mr. Jones is here from the Bureau of Telepath Integration. Capt. Matthew Gideon: The same Mr. Jones from six months ago? He gets around, doesn’t he? Lt. John Matheson: They’re all called Mr Jones. It’s their way of making the examination less personal. Capt. Matthew Gideon: How could it not be personal? He crawls inside your head and roots around for dirt. Lt. John Matheson: But only one telepath can watchdog another. It’s like Internal Affairs of a police force… |
|
Season 1 / Episode 3: – The Well of Forever Dureena Nafeel: But what about your question, Galen? Did you find your answer to “why”? Galen: That one – may take a little longer. |
 |
Season 1 / Episode 2: – The Long Road Capt. Matthew Gideon: You know something about this, don’t you? Galen: Perhaps. And if I’m right, it’s definitely something you should see. Capt. Matthew Gideon: And if you’re wrong? Galen: Oh, that hardly seems likely, does it? |
|
Season 1 / Episode 2: – The Long Road Galen: If we’re planning to appeal to the better angels of their nature we better have a backup plan in case reason is not sufficient to the cause. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 2: – The Long Road Worker #2: It’s here again. Worker #1: It can’t be. Worker #2: I am telling you, man, it is out there. I just saw it with my own eyes. – Get on the link. Tell them it’s back. Tell them to send troops, ships, anybody with a gun. We need help! |
|
Season 1 / Episode 2: – The Long Road Capt. Matthew Gideon: Once the mission’s over, you could come back here, have yourself a home. Galen: I have a home. |
 |
Season 1 / Episode 1: – War Zone Jane: The alien forces that attacked Earth struck without reason or provocation. Although they were driven back by our forces, on their way out, they left behind a biogenetically engineered virus that has completely penetrated the atmosphere. As a result, Earth has been quarantined. Repeat: Earth has been quarantined. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 1: – War Zone Capt. Matthew Gideon: I’ll do whatever’s necessary. If that means turning the entire galaxy upside down and shaking its pockets to see what falls out, then that’s what I’ll do. I’m not subtle. I’m not pretty, and I’ll piss off a lot of people along the way. But I’ll get the job done. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 1: – War Zone Trace Miller: I’ve got plans for the weekend and being dead ain’t part of ’em. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 1: – War Zone Dureena Nafeel: Yes, I’m a thief, and a damned good one. Need to get inside something? Get out? Tunnel under? Go around? Go through? I’m it. You’re going to hit some pretty strange places and you’re going to need a lock pick. There isn’t a lock made that I can’t get through. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 1: – War Zone Max Eilerson: I can appreciate dramatic irony as much as the next person, but this is pushing it a bit. |
|
Season 1 / Episode 1: – War Zone Capt. Matthew Gideon: [about Max Eilerson] He may be a pain in the ass, but he will be our pain in the ass. |
|

Galen: Who do you serve and who do you trust? Galen: Who do you serve and who do you trust? Capt. Matthew Gideon: I don’t know. Galen: Then I will go with you. |
| Unknown Episode: Galen: Who are you? Gideon: Captain Matthew Gideon. Galen: What do you want? Gideon: To find a cure for the Drakh plague before it wipes out all life on Earth. Galen: Where are you going? Gideon: Anywhere I have to. Galen: Who do you serve, and who do you trust? Galen: Who do you serve, and who do you trust? Gideon: I don’t know. Galen: Then I will go with you. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: Why me? There are others just as qualified. Senator McQuate: During your time captaining an Explorer-class vessel you’ve come across more new alien lifeforms than anyone else in the Fleet. There are half a dozen captains riding Explorer ships; the rest are either too old or too cautious. You’re a dangerous man when you want to be, Captain, and right now we need a dangerous man. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Senator McQuate: You know, Captain, folks think there might have been life on Mars once. If they did exist, they left no sign. We’ll never know who they were or what they did, what songs they sang, what stories they told. Mars is a dead world. I can’t imagine that happening to the Earth in a few years. I can’t imagine that happening at all. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: Just so we’re clear: once we go, this is my command. I’ll do whatever’s necessary. If that means turning the entire galaxy upside down and shaking its pockets to see what falls out, that’s what I’ll do. I’m not subtle, I’m not pretty, and I’ll piss off a helluva lot of people along the way, but I’ll get the job done. |

| Unknown Episode: Captain Matthew Gideon: [Galen has led Excaliber on a wild goose chase] Now will you tell me what’s going on? Galen: Her name was Isabelle and she was the best of us. Every technomage knows the fourteen words to make someone fall in love with you forever. But she only needed one. Captain Matthew Gideon: What word? Galen: “Hello.” |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: I thought you said you never hold a grudge. Galen: Well, I don’t. I have no surviving enemies… at all. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Elizabeth Lochley: Is there anything you can tell me? Gideon: Never eat anything bigger than your head. Never shoot pool at a place called Pap’s. Never eat food at a place called Mom’s. The mission is classified, Captain. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Galen: When you have reached the end of the road, then you can decide, whether to go to the left or to the right, to fire or to water. If you make those decisions before you have even set foot upon the road, it will take you no where… except to a bad end. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: Refresh me, Lieutenant. How did we get into the middle of this again? John Matheson: I believe it was an act of mercy, sir. Gideon: Remind me never to do that again.

|
| Unknown Episode: Dureena Nafeel: Look, I don’t like having to trust anyone because I’m always disappointed. But just once I’d like to know that I could actually trust someone, that for at least one person everything wasn’t about money or power. Captain Matthew Gideon: That’s a benefit? Dureena Nafeel: For me it could be. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Dureena Nafeel: When will you be back? Galen: In the fullness of time – expect me when you see me. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Durkani: It doesn’t matter if they believe us. Sooner or later the truth’s going to come out. The truth is… Kendarr: Out of fashion. |
|
| Unknown Episode: John Matheson: The more you make a big deal out of denying something, the more people think it must be true. |

|
| Unknown Episode: Kendarr: The truth has never been in anyone’s best interests. |

|
| Unknown Episode: Captain Matthew Gideon: I can see every detail of the Earth’s surface as clearly as we’re seeing it now. But after my father died, I tried to remember his face, but it always slipped away from me. Why is that I wonder. John Matheson: Maybe it’s because we can’t decide which face to remember: the face of our father when we were children, the face of our father the first left home, the face of our father the last time we saw him. They all blur together we lose the details. But Earth is constant. Earth is forever. Captain Matthew Gideon: You’re too young to be having thoughts this old Lieutenant. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: [Excalibur encounters life forms in Hyper space. The life forms attach themselves to the ship. Gideon looks at Galen.] No, it’s not. It’s mating with us! Galen: Well, it’s not exactly the first contact situation that I’d envisioned… |
|
| Unknown Episode: Captain Matthew Gideon: Married? You’re telling me that some guy actually managed to land you? Got you to lower your defenses enough to commit and then he let you get away? Huh? God, he must be the biggest loser on the galaxy. Elizabeth Lochley: Ah. Major loser. They don’t come any bigger. Captain Matthew Gideon: Loser have a name? Elizabeth Lochley: John Sheridan. |
|

|
| Unknown Episode: Galen: If I want to sit and talk with the dead I will draw a pentagram on the ground and conjure up someone more, interesting. |
|

|
| Unknown Episode: Galen: Do you think I’m hiding things from you, Dureena? Dureena Nafeel: Gideon says we all have things to hide. Galen: Did he? How unfortunate. I was hoping he’d come further than that. Not that isn’t true of course. It’s just that one simply doesn’t have to say it… Matthew was right. We all have something to hide. We all have something to tell, we all have a secret name, we all have a question. [pause] One question that unlocks our hearts. Dureena Nafeel: And what is your question, Galen? Galen: [pause] Why. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: Galen, I didn’t ask you how you screwed me, I asked you “why.” Galen: There’s that question again. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Galen: Then when the time comes I will help you keep your promise Matthew, as you have helped me keep mine. Perhaps then we can both forgive ourselves our common crime. Gideon: What crime is that Galen? Galen: Being alive. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Dureena Nafeel: Did you find your answer to “why”, Galen? Galen: [pause] That one, may take little longer. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Captain Matthew Gideon: Personal Journal: Captain Matthew Gideon continuing. It’s now three days since our visitors arrived on behalf of Earth Gov’s Political affairs office. There’s apparently some concern with how our work here is being perceived back home. They’ve been assigned to “help” us. Before their tour is finished, I may have to *kill* them. Assuming Lieutenant Mattheson doesn’t beat me to it. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Elizabeth Lochley: Do you believe that there is a supreme being? Captain Matthew Gideon: Aside from John Sheridan? Elizabeth Lochley: Yes! Aside from the wisest, bravest, sexiest man in the galaxy. Apart from him. |
|
| Unknown Episode: Gideon: [to Matheson] It’s easier not to want forgiveness, or to expect it. We just keep trying to fix the mistake so we don’t have to ask. But you end up trying so hard to atone for one set of mistakes, …you overcompensate and make new ones, and then you can never break out of the cycle. You just keep going round and round, no way out, nowhere to go. [cut to scene of Galen travelling aimlessly in the shuttlecar] |
|
| Unknown Episode: Senator Jacob Redway: Didn’t your daddy ever teach you not to contradict your elders? Gideon: No, sir. Senator Jacob Redway: Hmm, well, I see part of the problem here. |
J. Michael Straczynski tried to remove his name from the writer credits. He registered the pseudonym “Eiben Scrood” with the WGA, but the WGA caved to pressure from Warner Bros. and would not allow the pseudonym.
Contains several similarities with the anime series “Star Blazers” (1979). The biggest is the fact that both shows are about starships sent from Earth to retrieve the cure for a planetary disaster. Another is the “primary weapon” of the ships – a massively powerful one-shot cannon.
Part of Gary Cole’s costume was a class ring for “Earthforce Academy”. He kept the ring and wore it in his next role, as Lumberg in Office Space.
The cure to the Drakh plague was going to be discovered at the end of the second season. Whether it would have been used then has never been revealed.
The voice of the Apocalypse Box was actually Gary Cole’s, distorted electronically to sound very ethereal.
The hated gray and red uniforms were going to be “accidentally” destroyed in a “laundry accident” in the second-to-last episode of the first season.
J. Michael Straczynski had completed the script for the season 1 finale before the series was cancelled, an episode titled “The End of the Line”. The episode was to have Captain Gideon discover the origin of the hybrid-Shadow vessel encountered earlier in the series: a secret EarthForce project to combine human and Shadow technology. An EarthForce officer would have subsequently revealed that Techno-Mages were originally agents of the Shadows who rebelled, but still use the Shadows’ technology. The friendship between Gideon and Galen would have been strained, not only by the revelation of the Techno-Mages’ origins, but by Galen’s admission that he was sent by the Techno-Mages to find any more leftover Shadow technology, and that was why he’d been helping Gideon in the first place. The episode, and the season, was to have ended with Gideon on Mars trying to expose the EarthForce experiments, only to be shot by an EarthForce sniper.
J. Michael Straczynski had completed the script for episode 14 before the series was cancelled, titled “To the Ends of the Earth”. The episode would have seen Gideon using the Excalibur and the Apocalypse Box to hunt down the mysterious hybrid-Shadow vessel (the ship, as seen in flashback, that destroyed the EAS Cerberus), setting him at odds with other crew members. After a space battle with the Excalibur, the hybrid vessel would have self-destructed, and the final scenes of the episode would have suggested a connection between the hybrid vessel and EarthForce. The events of this episode would have set up the series’ main story arc.
Although there were many theories, the origin of the Apocalypse Box was never revealed.
Patricia Tallman, who played Lyta in Babylon 5, was originally scripted to be in “Path of Sorrow” in a flashback with Lt. Matheson. But the deal fell through and they had to revise the script without her.
Crusade creator J. Michael Straczynski’s recommended episode viewing order is as follows: Racing the Night, The Needs of Earth, The Memory of War, The Long Road, Visitors from Down the Street, The Well of Forever, Each Night I Dream of Home, Patterns of the Soul, The Path of Sorrows, Ruling from the Tomb, The Rules of the Game, War Zone, Appearances and Other Deceits. However, because of dialog looping during post-production and costume changes mid-season this viewing order will introduce minor continuity errors.
Fiona Avery had completed the script for episode 16 before the series was cancelled. The episode, titled “Value Judgements”, would have seen the Excalibur crew encounter fugitive telepath Alfred Bester (Walter Koenig, reprising his role from Babylon 5). Koenig had already signed on to appear – and was reportedly very enthusiastic about the script – when the series was cancelled.
At Wonder Con 2008, J. Michael Straczynski announced that Crusade is “finished”, i.e. nothing more will be done with the series.
Although J. Michael Straczynski never revealed what the cure to the Drakh plague was, he did hint that it was of the “monkey paw” variety, i.e., the cure might actually be worse than the disease.
According to Babylon 5 canon, Gideon’s Apocalypse Box is not the only one in existence. There are actually six, scattered around the galaxy.
According to J. Michael Straczynski’s posts on the internet the opening of the first episode aired, “War Zone”, was required by TNT to open with a fistfight. Later in the episode, the Senator briefing Gideon has a line to the effect of, “We’ve had to make a lot of compromises to get this thing off the ground” – literally about the Excalibur’s mission, but also a line J. Michael Straczynski intended as a comment on the series itself.
Marjean Holden (Dr. Sarah Chambers) appeared in Babylon 5: A Call to Arms (1999) (TV), which served as Crusade’s pilot, as Sheridan’s navigator. Executive Producer J. Michael Straczynski explained this away saying that it was in fact her twin sister.
Edward Woodward, father of Peter Woodward (Galen), plays the technomage Alwyn in this episode.
Many fans speculate that this is an homage to the Dragonriders of Pern series, by Anne McCaffrey. There are several similarities: a colony deliberately regressing to near-medieval technology; a dragon; a pastoral culture which eschews technology, yet existing in a space-age universe.
The helmets worn by the soldiers in the series are the same as in the movie Starship Troopers, only the color is different.
The imprisoned telepath in Lt. Matheson’s flashback was supposed to be Lyta Alexander. However, Crusdae was operating under a very strict budget, so the amount offered to Patricia Tallman was approximately 1/6 of her usual salary, and she refused.
According to Babylon 5 canon, the destruction of Psi Corps headquarters shown in Lt. Matheson’s flashback claimed the life of Lennier, the renegade ranger.
There are three streets named in this episode, which takes place on Mars: Bradbury, Burroughs, and Carter. These names refer to writers and characters related to Mars: Ray Bradbury is a famous SF-writer, who wrote “The Martian Chronicles”, Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of “Tarzan”, also wrote the “Barsoom”-novels with their lead character Captain John Carter (e.g. in John Carter of Mars (2012)).
J. Michael Straczynski dedicated episode #1.7, “The Rules of the Game, airdate 7/21/1999, “In Memory of Mister Kitty, 198? to May 17, 1999, Now Chasing Star Mice”.
This was actually meant to be the pilot episode, according to executive producer and writer J. Michael Straczynski.

TV Movie: Voices in the Dark: Over Here First Aired: Jul. 31, 2007 It’s the tenth anniversary of the Interstellar Alliance, and President Sheridan is on his way to Babylon 5 for the celebration. Col. Lochley asks a Catholic priest to come to Babylon 5 a few days before President Sheridan is to arrive for the Interstellar Alliance’s tenth anniversary celebration. A crew member who recently returned from a vacation on Earth had been complaining of hearing voices before finally barricading himself in a section of the station. The crewman, Burke, is now restrained within a security cell and claiming to be possessed by a demonic spirit. The priest is skeptical at first, suspecting mental illness or some kind of hoax. But after a demonstration of the being’s power, he is convinced. He is unsure whether or not to try to perform an exorcism immediately, or summon additional help from Earth. If he calls for help, the word of the reason will spread. And while this may cause some panic, it would also lead to a renewed purpose for a Church that has been declining toward irrelevance. The demonic being claims this is, in fact, its purpose – that it was trapped in space by God so that starfaring humans would find reason to believe. The being’s apparent eagerness to be exorcised gives Lochley and the priest pause – there is another agenda here. But denying the demon’s wish would seem to condemn Burke to suffer, and that responsibility may be too much to bear. This TV Movie is also known as Babylon 5: The Lost Tales – Voices in the Dark |

The night before the rendezvous, Galen appears to Sheridan in a dream, and shows him a vision of the destruction of New York City. In 30 years, he says, Emperor Vintari will attempt to restore the Republic’s former glory by destroying an old adversary – Earth. This can all be prevented if Sheridan will simply kill Vintari now. But when Sheridan meets the young man, who already feels trapped by the political intrigues of the Republic, he begins to doubt that he can kill a man for actions he has not yet committed.

TV Movie: Voices in the Dark: Over Here First Aired: Jul. 31, 2007 It’s the tenth anniversary of the Interstellar Alliance, and President Sheridan is on his way to Babylon 5 for the celebration. Col. Lochley asks a Catholic priest to come to Babylon 5 a few days before President Sheridan is to arrive for the Interstellar Alliance’s tenth anniversary celebration. A crew member who recently returned from a vacation on Earth had been complaining of hearing voices before finally barricading himself in a section of the station. The crewman, Burke, is now restrained within a security cell and claiming to be possessed by a demonic spirit. The priest is skeptical at first, suspecting mental illness or some kind of hoax. But after a demonstration of the being’s power, he is convinced. He is unsure whether or not to try to perform an exorcism immediately, or summon additional help from Earth. If he calls for help, the word of the reason will spread. And while this may cause some panic, it would also lead to a renewed purpose for a Church that has been declining toward irrelevance. The demonic being claims this is, in fact, its purpose – that it was trapped in space by God so that starfaring humans would find reason to believe. The being’s apparent eagerness to be exorcised gives Lochley and the priest pause – there is another agenda here. But denying the demon’s wish would seem to condemn Burke to suffer, and that responsibility may be too much to bear. This TV Movie is also known as Babylon 5: The Lost Tales – Voices in the Dark |
