Babylon 5 was the shining star of 90s television sci-fi. DS9 was the closest to B5 in terms of scope and structure but it just couldn't hold a candle to it. TNG was much too different from B5 so you can't really compare them both (apples and oranges).
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agoBabylon 5 has not aged as well as DS9 unfortunately. While Babylon 5 had some amazing talent and the better story arcs, DS9 had a better cast in many ways, Avery Brooks and Rene Auberjonois and Michael Dorn and others really leaned into their performances in a way which I think only Mira Furlan and Andreas Katsulas really did on B5. Writing this makes me sad about how may of the above are no longer with us.
