Was it a good game, though?

I hadn’t heard that before.

DS9 season one may have been inspired by an early show bible for Bab5, though. JMS might have left said bible with the producers when trying to get funding.

You’ll also note the rough first season for DS9, and that they didn’t really screw with things too much. After they got off that and went their own way, it got much better. Dark, sure. But better.

It might be nice to have a live action, but lower decks style, station-based show on the edge of some frontier, ships coming in to turn in maps and stuff.

“Cardassians visited today, they’re assholes.”

“Why is every new species a different flavor of asshole? Can’t we, like, meet some avian space hippies or something interesting?”

“You mean the Arrakoa? Yeah. They’re assholes too.”
