I like B5, and I like Trek, both for their own reasons. I don't really care if one was better than the other, I enjoy them both.
B5 was hobbled by an abysmal budget and absolutely no network support. The acting was fantastic, though, which made up for a lot of the other shortcomings. For B5 to succeed under those conditions was nothing short of a miracle.
Every show sucks in its first season. That's what the first season is for, to get the suck out. If I go back and reread my first fivers (or rewatch my first videos), I cringe because they're so unpolished compared to my later efforts.
