The movies kinda fit in weird places. "In The Beginning" deals chronologically with events that happened before The Gathering, but it is told from the perspective of a time after Crusade and before "Sleeping in Light". "Thirdspace" happens after the Vorlons leave, and before the civil war - in season 4, between "Illusions of Truth" and "Atonement" (according to JMS) "River of Souls", and "Legend of the Rangers" happen before Crusade, and after "Objects at Rest" near the end of Season 5. "A Call to Arms" is actually an introduction to Crusade. "The Road Home" happens after Crusade, and is followed by "Lost Tales". Chronologically, the series Finale "Sleeping in Light" happens after Lost Tales. Crusade was going to be an another entire 5 year arc, but was "Fireflied" - out of order and cancelled after one year by a shortsighted Network. That said, there is really no "wrong" way to encounter Babylon 5, IMHO. I had mentioned earlier that you might consider watching this one at the very end of your Babylon 5 experience. Yes it definitely works here, but I think that it bears being revisited at the end of your B5 journey - however that ends for you. For a lot of us in the first viewing this episode literally was the functional end of the road. Season 5 aired on the TNT network, so unless you had cable you were SOL to watch the rest of the series, so yes, it does make a good way to end things if that is your only option... thankfully there is more to this universe for those of us that love it.

I liked this episode, it's good to know Jason Ironheart was correct all the way back in season 1 - Mind War, see you in a million years! Good commentary academics and the very 1984ish reverse correct infospeak.

Bruce was delighted to play a villain for once; he rarely gets the chance. He even studied films of Hitler to get it down.

To clarify, this episode was made to be the 4th season finale after the fifth season was confirmed, in place of the originally planned series finale. You can now watch the movies Thirdspace (I forget if you haven't already) and In The Beginning, though Thirdspace is entirely skippable. All the other movies should wait for after season 5.

Oh yay, I'm glad you liked this ep! It's so unique in shows like this.

IDK if you noticed that this episode was directed by our future Centauri Emperor Vir Cotto - Stephen Furst R.I.P.
