Something else to consider here is the juxtaposition of the choice that the planet they visited chose to do, relative to that initial conversation where they got access to worlds with the promise that at the end, they would go and make sure that those left on earth wouldn't get away in their panic. The Drazi seem to be making a less-insane demand by comparison...

2025-01-16 07:52:08 +0000 UTCTo answer some of your questions without spoiling the last few episodes... The cancellation of Crusade was a very sudden decision, and most/all of the existing 13 episodes had already been made at that point, so it never got a wrap-up. There was a lot of studio interference along the way in how the show "ought" to be made, so eventually JMS put his foot down, said enough was enough, and that was the end of the show. It has remained in Property Rights Hell ever since, so he couldn't even go back and revisit the Crusade characters and story arc later. :( The airing order also radically differed from what JMS had intended, so the result was that what came out was a pretty disparate collection of episodes that are difficult to order "correctly." A couple years after it aired, the SciFi channel picked it up and re-aired the episodes in an order more faithful to JMS' intent, but there are still continuity hiccups no matter how you line them up: - the new uniforms issued in the previous story - character development for Max - the order in which Gideon & Lochley meet
