Wow, I have a completely different opinion of it. To me, B5 is some of the best television I've ever watched. I like it for very different reasons than any of ST though, they're apples and oranges. Comparing to DS9 is a disservice to both shows, IMO. For me, that's because it tells a long-tail story really well. From the very beginning of the show they knew exactly what was going to happen later on, allowing everything to tie together really seamlessly. Watching that all unfold and your understanding of it grow is just fantastic. My only complaint is the whole S4/S5 debacle, because they got told it was being canceled so they had to wrap up quicker than expected, then got another season and had to re-open all the threads they just closed. Somewhat awkward. As for the actors, I think they did a fantastic job. They're part of the reason I don't think a newer version of the show could work - you just couldn't have a convincing Delenn, Mollari, G'kar, or Sheridan like they did in the original. And sure, the visuals of the show aren't fantastic. But who cares? A good show's merits aren't in its visuals, so long as they're sufficient to tell the story.
