Re:When is the *best* time to watch IN THE BEGINNING?
The point where season 4 was originally meant to end (before all that stuff about cancellation forcing JMS to wrap up his storylines a season early) is currently at the end of episode 18 of S4. The extra stuff in ‘In the Beginning’ was going to be in S4 before it was removed to allow time for endgame and sleeping in the light -examples can be found in the episode where:
**Spoilers***
You find Delenn cast the deciding vote to allow the war
So I guess ‘In the beginning’ fits between episodes 18 and 19 of S4.
[quote] it does not exactly fit the ongoing story: during the episode before (“Rising Star”), Londo Mollari is just
being considered for the title of Emperor, he is NOT Emperor yet! [/quote]
You know he’ll get there in S3 – the Bab 4 episode and when Londo asks for the seeress who tells him both Vir and he will be emperor. Theres no need to force S5 on someone before in the beginning
