When I first started watching B5 it was "so obvious" to me that the Centauri were going to be the bumbling comic relief and the Narn the bad guys in "evil" looking makeup. The gradual revelation of who these two races really were threw every Star Trek cliche out of the window. Sad to say *I* was one of those Trekkies. I soon learned not to take anything in the show at face value.
B5 has since become by far my favourite TV show of all time. Sorry Defiant, I`m as big a Trek nerd as they come, but it can`t hold a candle to B5.
