If you're ever interested, ask me sometime and I'll tell you why - and I emphasise this - as much as I do like Babylon 5 and consider it a remarkable and historic piece of science fiction television, all things being equal I still like Deep Space Nine better. B5 is good in a lot of ways that DS9 isn't, and DS9 scores in other departments where B5 stumbles, but in my final analysis DS9 gets the edge.

I know that's heresy in many people's eyes, so I won't go into it unless someone actually asks.

Oh, and once you're done with Season 2's big character twist (and you'll know it when you see it), you should try tracking down (or ask me) the story in the B5 comics that told of Sinclair and Garibaldi's first meeting on Mars and how that ties in with the arc.
