I found the list at the following location.


http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/countries/master/eplist.html


This is the sequence JMS recommends, and following it adds to the story line.



Due to production constraints and other factors, several episodes during the run of the series were delayed, shown later in the sequence than originally intended. The effect isn't major in most cases, but there are minor things that make more sense if the episodes are viewed in the intended order. JMS has given the ordering for seasons one and two his blessing.


This list also inserts the TV movies into their proper chronological order; for example, "Thirdspace" takes place in the middle of season four.


Departures from the original US airing order are emphasized **. The number in the brackets refers to the disk and then the episode on that disk. The episodes with M are the movies.
