Ever so slightly irritating that you refer to every sci-fi in space series as a 'trek take off' as if it weren't a genre of its own, and as if some of those had *anything* to do with Star Trek aside from being in the 'space opera' genre.

In particular, Babylon 5 and Farscape are far superior to any version of Star Trek, and are rather different in character as well, both having full series story arcs.
