Babylon 5 or Star Trek DS9

[khan1670]

For me it's B5 but it's very close.

You have to remember also that DS9 is part of a huge franchise that had a lot of support from the parent studio.

B5 had none of this and lived season to season and still put out a great show.

The story ARC was also rushed to be done in 4 seasons as Straczynski didn't know if he'd get another season. The final episode was actually filmed at the end of season 4, but season 5 was greenlit very late so they hastily made another episode and kept the finale for the next season.

That's why season 5 is somewhat weaker than the previous 3.

Anyway they are both great and I gladly own both on DVD
