Season 5 is worth watching for Lochley's exposed skin in one ep ;)

"In the Beginning" should only be watched when it was aired originally, after season 4.

Back to your original question. "Crusade" is definitely worth viewing. There are a myriad of thoughts on the order to watch it. I think I finally found a JMS approved viewing order. I thought one of the stories in "The Lost Tales" was good, but it was a bit of a letdown.

As I post in all the B5 threads, make sure you follow along with the postings on the Lurker's guide. It has notes on every episode WITHOUT spoilers and JMS's original comments to the fans when the episodes originally aired:

Pretty much what I was gong to say. Thanks for saying it for me.

And, although it's not TV, many of the novels are considered canon, reveal plot lines and stories that went un-aired during the series, and are well worth reading. In particularly...
The Shadow Within -
Spoiler:
The untold story of what happened to Anna Sheridan and the crew of the Icarus when they landed on Z'Ha'dum.

To Dream In The City Of Sorrows -
Spoiler:
The untold story of what happened to Sinclair after Season 1, and before we see him again in Season 3. Also the back story on Marcus.

Legions Of Fire - Trilogy -
Spoiler:
Stories involving the Drakh, what happens on Centauri Prime, and with Sheridan, Delenn and their son after the show ended.

I don't remember that. Got a screen capture?

Had it not been posted, I would have thought that clip was from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

That sounds good - would work well as a miniseries.

You forgot some:

Dark Genesis/Deadly Relations/Final Reckoning:
Spoiler:
A trilogy of books dealing with the Psi Corps. The first book details the appearance of telepaths on Earth, the second one goes into Bester's early life and career, while the third one reveals Bester's final fate.


The Passing of the Techno-Mages:
Spoiler:
Another trilogy of books that follows the Techno-Mages. From what I've heard, it relates to Crusade some, but since I've never watched Crusade...


Personally, beyond the books I've read, I've personally decided to ignore any B5 content that isn't the five main seasons, The Gathering, and In The Beginning. I saw Thirdspace and A Call To Arms, and really didn't care for them, and it really pointed out that for me, I'm happy without any more B5 spinoffs.
