Someone asked 'why' Babylon 5: Crusade was cancelled. I didn't realize that such a scandal could go unnoticed by any fan with net access, but I guess not everyone seeks out the websites and newsGroups for their favorite SciFi. The short answer is 'network stupidity' as with most SciFi shows. But the details are as bizarre as anything else already brought up here. Here's why it was cancelled:

They backed down for a while, but several months later it was cancelled anyway. Not enough sex and violence. Just another ton of **** to throw on your already gargantuan compost pile of network contempt.
