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.

If you're into sci-fi, make sure to give Farscape a try. It's more adventure than thought-provoking, but it has some very interesting and unique science fiction elements sprinkled around and it has a heart. It also gets so much better with each passing season.
It's good at the beginning but they completely threw it away at the end and it makes the whole thing not worth watching. Lead becomes completely insufferable and the writing / direction is insulting.
I'm of the complete opposite opinion. First season felt generic, but later the story gets way more engaging.
