tv series/movies/comics/books/short stories order

can anyone direct me to a site that has a list of the comics/novels/movies/short stroies placement within the babylon 5 tv series timeline? i have seen complete timeline's before but what i really need is basically just a viewing/reading order. i am curious as to what episodes they take place between...
 
What you're probably looking for it the Lurker's Guide to B5, what I consider the best reference site on the web. Check it out:

http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/

Click on "Episodes", then the sub-category you wish, if other than the TV episodes (novels, comic, etc).

i am curious as to what episodes they take place between...
hey lightsyder,
do you mean one chronically list that includes all the tv shows + reading materials?
I know I would love to see one!
(though it's a little tricky because some books spread on a long era)
 
Re: tv series/movies/comics/books/short stories or

actually that has been what i've been working on. with the info i got from these boards, the WB B5 boards, the sci-fi channel boards and the lurker's website i came up with the following timeline. if anyone has questions, comments, suggestions please let me know. as for the novels and stories that span long time frames, i listed them twice. once when they start and again when they end (if they take place in multiple years). otherwise i placed the beginning and end date with them. i also included some events that i could think off...

This is origianlly a word document that is color coded if anyone can tell me how to post with colors on here, that would be great...

Re: tv series/movies/comics/books/short stories or

Heya syder,
That's a great list. The episodes are still in airing order though (as opposed to chronological order). See the Master List at the Lurker's Guide. The reordered episodes are in italics.
 
Re: tv series/movies/comics/books/short stories or

i have rearranged the tv episodes (thanks slider142).

i have also added seasons 2 - 5 of Crusade. i seem to remember it was to be a 5 season show. anyway, in doing so i think i may have came to a problem with a couple of years. they are...

2269 with season 3 of crusade and the short story true seeker (i think earth was mentioned in that story minus the plague) and...

2271 with season 5 of crusade and Final Reckoning – The Fate of Bester (which i haven't read yet, i'm assuming its set on earth)

so if anyone has any thoughts on this pleae let me know.

also if anyone has any info from the babylon 5 rpg and/or ccg that could be added let me know...
