More like Quick bring back the Borg.

I believe that B5 was so good because it's plot was a set of designed events leading to end. The was no quest too seek out new seasons. In fact the only times that the plot suffered was when they were going to get canceled early and the creator excelerated the plot line. But then they got renewed so he had to try and slow it back down. In fact to make sure the series ended they scrapped the station in the final episode.

B5 Excalibur was going to be a great series (plenty of complex characters with room to grow) until Turner demanded that the creator sex it up more. The creator said no the series is fine. Turner said if you don't do what I say the series is canceled. The creator replied then I guess I'm cancelled. ( Screw you Turner you couldn't leave a good thing alone)

DS9 was really god too. They didn't have to resort to the Borg like TNG and Voyager (and Voyager had to resort to Busty Blonds in skin tight uniforms. ( Not that there is anything wrong with that )).

One of my favorite DS9 episodes was when Q shows up on the station.
Q: "You hit me! Picard never hit me!
Cisco: "I am NOT Picard!

Of course DS9 didn't get really good until Cisco Shaved his head and went back to his Hawk persona from Spencer for Hire.
