- The station based element is only one similarity. Other major plot points that are unusual for Trek but are extremely similar to B5: everything surrounding the wormhole, the 'emissary' stuff, the two warring races, to name a few

Hahahahahahaha. You're an idiot. Babylon 5 had no wormholes, that was their attempt to do FTL without doing Trek warp drive or Star Wars hyperspace. The stable wormhole is based on an earlier TNG episode, which had a wormhole that was believed stable, and the idea of warring races goes all the way back to TOS with the Federation and the Klingons, which was also stopped back then by godlike aliens. A starfleet officer given extra importance by being best fave with godlike beings? That is a retread of Q from TNG's pilot mixed with the TOS Organians. A collection of Aliens looking for an alliance, that is The Federation, but if you want get more specific about the alien politics, TOS' Journey to Babel is an episode based on exactly that. Name some more, go on, I dare you.
