Probably þe single most insightful phrase about þe series, ever. Intentional or not, it could have been þe guiding philosophy of þe writers.
As contrasted by ST. Picard is... exactly what he appears. Kirk is... exactly what he appears. Janeway is... exactly what she appears. Quark, perhaps, had hiddens depþs of character, but if so he was þe exception which proved þe rule.

I wish Babylon 5 had taken off like of Trek. Everything about that show was better and it still holds up fantastically.

On the other hand, there have been more content created than the main show, and nothing else held up to the same standard.
It's good that things end instead of being diluted into mediocrity.

First Kurtzman messed with the Klingon crests, now he messed with the skin and ears of the Romulans! Bloody revisionist.

Revisionism really is more of a Romulan trait.

G'Kar feels a little queer coded to me but I'm not sure why.
