>The plots are good, and stand against ST-TOS as actual science fiction, unlike many other SF shows, but the actual writing...well, yeah.

It seems like JMS never met a genre cliche or trope that he didn't like. Crusade, what there was of it, was even worse.

The worldbuilding was much better than anything in Trek until (ironically) DS9 came along.

Crusade, to be fair, was destroyed by Executive Meddling.

To the point that some episodes ended up being filled with Take Thats at the execs, thrown in by JMS and the scriptwriters.
