I am a Star Trek fan (not the new stuff) and I always heard Deep Space 9 is a ripoff of Babylon 5. Have the DS9 writers ever admitted as much or acknowledged an influence? I’m 19 episodes in and I’m liking it. I can see the concept for sure that DS9 uses.

I dont think either is a ripoff. They both take a similar premise of a big, important space station where lots of stuff happens then they go different directions.
You really have to suspend your disbelief with b5 as the ship CG is like ps1 era graphics. But I think over all they are both worth watching and enjoyable in their own way but never great.
