Six television films and a spin-off series slot at points inside the five year arc, and the one that comes first in story order is the one that gives away the most.
Watch the pilot, then the five seasons in broadcast order, and hold In the Beginning until after season 4. It is the earliest thing in story order and it names outcomes that seasons 1 to 3 spend sixty-six episodes withholding.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
The pilot, set a year before season 1. It is slower and stranger than the show it introduces, and one lead role is recast afterwards, but it sets up the station and the Minbari.
The setup year. It is the weakest stretch and it is also where almost every later payoff is planted, so skipping it costs you the arc rather than saving you time.
The arc starts moving and the station changes hands. From here the episodes stop being self-contained.
The Shadow War proper, and the point most people say the show becomes what it was aiming at. The season ends mid-story.
Two seasons of plot compressed into one because renewal was in doubt, which is why it moves faster than anything around it.
Now watch the prequel film. It covers the Earth-Minbari War of 2245 to 2248, and it is written for people who already know how the war ended and who the survivors became.
The last year, made for TNT after the renewal came late. Its final episode is set nineteen years later and works as an ending to the whole thing.
Then what? Thirdspace is set inside season 4 and can be watched at any point after it. The River of Souls comes next in story order, then The Legend of the Rangers, then A Call to Arms, which leads straight into Crusade's thirteen episodes. The Lost Tales is last. The Road Home, the 2023 animated film, is optional and hops between timelines, so nothing depends on where you put it. If you want the strictest ending, hold the last episode of season 5, Sleeping in Light, until after Crusade, since it is set nineteen years after everything else.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
