Best order for the movies

No, that was Lady Ladira's prophecy that has the shuttle flying out just before the station explodes.

You're right, and I'm an idiot.

Sorry

What do you mean grumbler? Being new here i seem to have missed something, I think.

JMS is going to publish (in the last book of the scripts series) the memo in which he laid out the 5-year plan for B5 at the start of the series. It will, presumably, lay this speculation to rest. I advocate speculating while the speculating is good.

Is there something coming out, Babylon 5 related on the 14th? I just saw a little snippet of something on scifi.com I found it a bit surprising because I thought I would have heard of it here first.

That's the release of the Legend of the Rangers pilot movie on DVD, Stunning. I think it's just been discussed in other threads.

Thanks Jan, I wanted to double check before I got too excited.

As for the movies, let's see if I can get them all.

In The Beginning is the prequel that covers the Earth-Minbari War. It was filmed during season 4, and does kind of give away a few things from early in the series. JMS has said, though, that it works fine for new viewers to watch it first, even before season 1.

The Gathering was the original pilot. Basically, it's the first episode of season 1.

River of Souls and Thirdspace are fairly outside the main arc. I believe they both take place during/around season 5.

A Call to Arms was the launching point for Crusade, and it takes place after the main series (can't remember the exact year; 2268 or so, I think?).

Legend of the Rangers also takes place well after the main series. It was supposed to be the pilot for a new series, but it never got picked up.

Did I miss any?

Thanks for the list. I was thinking about this yesterday. I will now watch accordingly. Peace.

I definitely recommend against watching "In the beginning" before you're through with Season 4...

Yeah, don't!

Thank you.

I now have it noted on my list.
