Babylon 5 was written years before DS9 was ever aired so to say it copied Babylon 5 is incorrect. Great minds do think alike, and to say that Paramout copied Warner Brothers is wrong.

"great minds do think alike" is a great excuse for the plagiat. And that is exactly what Paramount did, IMO.

No offense to any one implied or intended, all opinions are equal here.
There really is no connection between B5 and DS9. If you look at the stories and compare them episode to episode, there are no comparissions. The Federation never had a Civil War or a Psy Core. The only comparissions that can be made are the name Dukat, and wow, they both have a fricking space station. Whoop'd'do call the lawyers we have a lawsuit!
Seriously, B5 was the better series and we all know this. The two series were so far apart from one another that NO ONE at paramount or Warner Brothers ever said anything about the other copying anything from the other.
This comparisson is ubserd at best and ridiculous to even be discussing IMHO.

JMS himself implied that authors of DS9 plagiarized his work. Fragment of the discussion with JMS posting:

Re: Favorite Star Trek episode
personally, i think all tv shows should be distributed via internet. that way, we could pay for the shows we like and no commercials.
