when B5 and DS9 were on the air together during their original runs, you could see DS9 copying stuff. Like the welders on the outside of the station in the title sequence. B5 had them, DS9 copied.

Unisex bathrooms on B5, and that single frame sequence in one of the last episodes, you had to tape it and step through it.
