HowToWatchB5.warningContainsSpoilers

This is not a advocated way to watch the show if you havn't seen it before. It will spoil some of the suprises by watching it this way and it is not intended so.
However. If you are a chronological freak like me then you will probably find this very pleasing. Some novels, short stories and comics are not carved in stone
when it comes to their specific date because some of them does not contain dates at all and has been guessed, somewhat arbitrary, where they might be happening
in the timeline for the B5 universe.

B = Book
M = Movie
S = Short Story
C = Comic
