It's very easy to look back on a 5 year series and pick out an episode here and there that wasn't exactly a great moment. It's too bad that those moments are few and far between when you look at Babylon 5 from an objective point of view. It's also unfortunate that I (and many others) can look back at 7 years of Voyager and 4 years of Enterprise and pick out at least 10 times more crap episodes than is possible with Babylon 5. Let's look at Voyager Season 1's crap: "Time and Again" and "Cathexis". Yes, only two episodes that I thought were pretty crappy. But I also consider Voyager's first season their best. Season 2: "Projections," "Parturition," "Tattoo," "Cold Fire," "Deadlock," "The Thaw," and "Resolutions." That's 7 episodes that I thought were pretty crappy. That doesn't include the ones that were just below average.

Like I said, it's very easy to sit back and criticize a show's low points, but when you're trying to compare the garbage that Rick Berman has been shoveling us for the past 2 spin-offs to the excellent character driven, quality acted, and brilliantly written 5 year saga JMS created, there is no comparison whatsoever. JMS would produce a Star Trek series that would be light years ahead of anything Berman produced in terms of quality and staying true to the real ideals of Star Trek (which aren't aliens of the week and big space fights every episode by the way).

And since you criticize the Lurkers in Downbelow on B5, I'll throw a criticism of Voyager to you: Why would a group of rebels who turned their back on the Federation just suddenly, after one episode, decide: "Hey, lets all put on Starfleet uniforms and be one happy family." Whatever.
