I once did a comparison of the similarities of B5 and DS9...I'll see if I can dig it up. BTW, JMS proposed B5 to Paramount a few years before either came out...I don't know if that's significant, though.

JMS equals DS9! How? There's already an S in it! Plus, J is the tenth letter of the alphabet, and one minus ten is nine. And when you add a D to the M, you get MD. Someone "doctoring" the script, perhaps?
You heard it here first!

Then they'll watch season 4, and love it too.
Then it all goes a bit pear-shaped. Still, nice ending.
BTW, did someone mention that B5 had better SFX than Trek? Er, I was gonna come up with a good argument contrasting "Into the Fire" with "Sacrifice of Angels", but I'll just say, bollocks it has.
