I loved B-5. It was much better than DS-9 when DS-9 first started. That one eventually got better by becoming more like B-5 when they had Sisco shave his head and stop acting like a wimp, and brought in the Klingons.
BLASPHEMY!
DS-9 was a B5 ripoff from day one which is why it is the best of the post TOS Star Trek spinoffs by a wide margin. Straczynski pitched B5 to the Paramount/Star Trek producers. They turned him down only to begin immediately producing their own space station based show with the Star Trek brand.
