Babylon 5: Specials

Special 1 The Gathering

5

The suggested timeline order, as closely as possible, trying to avoid spoilers, given that some episodes/specials are chronologically mixed.

This list is based largely on an amalgam of the responses in the following thread:

Copied from the following list, but with the specials listed as specials (AKA Season 0) as opposed to movies:

Just putting this together for personal tracking use, as sourced from this post: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/241222

Make sure to view by Rank for intended order.

Original description from post: The Intended Order for all TV Episodes and Movies as listed below is the order that JMS intended the show to be viewed in for full dramatic impact. This viewing order was taken from JMS's interviews, notes, and discussions. This is not a chronological order of events, and not everything is meant to make sense at first as some episodes have flashbacks and visions of things. This order (including the very similar Lurker's Guide) is popular among devoted fans.

Note: For the Crusade spin-off the Chronological Order option is listed below as it is enjoyable and popular among devoted fans without continuity issues or jarring inconsistencies. This Crusade order is from the Babylon 5 Historical Database as authorized by JMS, with one adjustment to correct a continuity issue in "Ruling From the Tomb".

Doesnt find it in JustWatch (Most likely Swedish JustWatch)

Highly-rated, science fiction films and TV shows.

Not 100% chronological but rather the "best watching order", since "In the beginning" could have more than one place in the timeline (a 2277 Londo tells of events occuring in 2245-2248, it also spoils stuff that happens at the end of 2261 aka Season 4, which is why I put it after Season 4 where it was intended to be)
I did not include anything Crusade related, as the series was canceled before the story could be finished.
