I'm not completely trashing it. It's certainly far superior than anything that passes for sci fi on television now. I just think DS9 was better. So were most other sci fi shows on TV around that time. Stargate SG-1, Andromeda for the first couple of seasons. Sliders. SeaQuest. Even Earth: Final Conflict, although it wasn't great. I've never really enjoyed Stracynski's writing style. I think his dialogue is overblown and pretentious, I don't think his characters act like real people and I think his ego takes priority over the story far too often, especially in B5.
