Star Trek, ultimately, is a science fiction writer's wet dream of an interstellar socialist utopia, nothing more. No money, no capitalism (except as a comic foil, a la the Ferengis), anything you could ever want just speak it into a replicator. Every episode is a crusade for great social justice.

Well, anyways, the thread is back on track to 300 posts.
I agree with your comments about B5 (just finishing up watching the whole run over the last few months, in Season 5 right now), but would yak over a beer or two about Trek. Maybe this summer.
