13 episodes of crusade were produced before TNT cancelled the series. According to posts by J. Michael Straczynski, which are archived on jmsnews.com, TNT broadcast the episodes out of the intended sequence. The order of the episodes was then revised when they were re-broadcatsed on the Sci-Fi channel, the Sci-Fi channel actually contacted Straczynski and asked which order he would preferr the episodes were broadcast. A third order was formally endorsed by Straczynski as the "true" chronological sequence of events for the filmed episode, as it appeared in The Official Babylon 5 Chronology (published in the pages of The Official Babylon 5 Magazine in 1999-2000). This particular ordering supersedes Straczynski's own "preferred" sequence from a strictly chronological and causal standpoint. The original broadcast order as set by TNT was used for the DVD releases.

The Rules of the Game is an episode from the TV Series Crusade which is a spin off from Babylon 5. However, due to the emergence of three episode lists, it is unclear where this episode falls in the chronology of the series.
