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'm currently rewatching B5 too. Almost kicked it in the trash during season 1 when they started the usual "muh earth first racist extremist terrorist nationalists ermagerd!!1". They really haven't come up with anything new for decades.
Yeah, I'm having some real trouble getting through the first season. I like Sinclair well enough but the Home Guard plots and the open sucking of commie schlong are tiresome. I forgot how lefty it all was.
Season 1 isn't the best, but 2-4 is terrific, season is necessary for the world building.
