I didn't think about the original concept being a rip-off, lol. I forgot B5 kind of came first. But yeah, I recall the story being rather different besides the obvious similarities.

[philstar22]

It was a rip-off in the sense that Strazinski pitched B5 to Paramount first. They turned it down, Warner Brothers took it, and then Paramount came out with Deep Space 9 very shortly after. DS9 quickly became its own thing and I doubt it was ever a direct copy given how different the characters are. But the origins are a bit hinky.

[fingalsanteater]

Ah, yes. I recall reading about that now.

Dude, the idea of doing a Trek show on a Space Station was being floated as far back as the 1970s, it was one of the things considered for Phase 2 before that was dumped for the movie series. Yes, JMS had an interview and a pitch at Paramount, but he wasn't the first person to pitch a Space Station show to them. Even JMS agrees it wasn't a rip. You might as well call Voyager a rip off of Red Dwarf on basis they are both in deep space and trying to get back to earth and have a hologram as main cast.
