Babylon 5 Viewing Order

edited February 2011 in Help / Advice Forum
So the BSG thread mentioned that if I liked that (which I did, even the ending, h8rs gon h8) I would enjoy Babylon 5. That was enough recommendation for me to promptly hop on the netflix and add it to my queue. But then I saw all these B5 movies.

Are they directly connected to the events of the show, ala BSGs movies? I was too afeared of spoilers to check out any type of plot synopsis for them, so could I get a viewing order? Thaaaanks guys.

    Having looked through a few of them, I think this list is probably the way to go. The only odd placing is "In the Beginning" which chronologically happens before everything else, but kinda spoilers a few things if you do watch it first.

    Season 1 is hit and miss and Season 5 is a bit of a waste too.

    I'd watch the TV series in order before I delved into the movies. They're pretty ok, a few are funny/goofy, but they're all better if you've seen the show first.

    Congratulations on your fine decision to watch the show, it's absolutely great.

    I can't even remember where I found this list but this is the order I have been going in so far (I'm partway through Season 2). You can apparently skip the Legend of the Rangers stuff and the Crusade stuff, and I don't think Netflix even has Crusade.

    edit: I think this list is the same one that was linked in Rook's post.
