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.

There are several mediocre episodes in B5 season 1. When you get into Season 2 and on, it is some of the best TV ever produced IMO. Decades ahead of its time in terms of telling a story throughout the show vs the typical 1-shot episodes that made syndication easier.
