So now that I'm (almost) done ripping my B5 DVDs to my hard drive, I've   
   only got the TV movies left, comes the question of where those movies   
   go in the timeline.  Everyone has their opinions on where some of them   
   go, and others are pretty straight-forward.   
      
   For example, "The Gathering" is obviously the series pilot and belongs   
   immediately in front of season one episode one "On The Firing Line".   
   "The Lost Tales" occur somewhere between season 5 episodes 21 and 22,   
   "Objects At Rest" and "Sleeping In Light".   
      
   "Thirdspace" is somewhere in season four.  The Lurker's Guide puts it   
   somewhere between episodes 6 and 14, "Into The Fire" and "Moments Of   
   Transition" which works for me.   
      
   "In The Beginning", however, is an open question for me.  On the one   
   hand, it tells the story of the Minbari war which places it a decade   
   before "The Gathering", but on the other hand, it's told as a   
   retrospective by Londo as an old man a few hours before his death which   
   places it, like "The Lost Tales", somewhere between "Objects At Rest"   
   and "Sleeping In Light".  And because it's told by Londo a couple hours   
   before his death, it overlaps the flash forwards from "War Without End   
   pt 2".  For my part, because of the construction of the episode, I'm   
   placing it between "Objects At Rest" and "Sleeping In Light".  I'll   
   have to re-watch "The Lost Tales" to determine which of those comes   
   before the other.   
      
   Likewise, "River Of Souls" is somewhere between "Objects At Rest" and,   
   from my placement, "In The Beginning".   
      
   The only lingering question I have is, where does "A Call To Arms"   
   belong?  It's the B5 cast so do I put it with the B5 set, or do I put   
   it with the to-be-ripped Crusade set since it's also the setup/pilot   
   for that series?
