Title: Disappointing Spinoff
Product review: This "movie", which was obviously meant to be a pilot but was aired as a stand-alone feature, lacks nearly everything that made Babylon 5 a great show. It's set in the same universe and contains the same races and ships, but the plotting feels like, well, a failed pilot.G'Kar's scenes in "Rangers" are an embarassment to the character. After a spectacular sendoff on the original B5 series, he re-enters the universe apparently having regressed two or three seasons' worth of character development. There is no reason for him to be present except to spout off some gratuitous quotes from Babylon 5 and remind us that we are watching a B5 show.Overall, this show would be without much value if it stood alone. As an episode of the B5 mythos, it is worth even less.
