In e.g. Star Trek, command staff happily take totally unacceptable risks, and people rarely bat an eyelid.

And of course when B5 was on, there were two Star Trek series on the go, I think (STtNG was just ending but DS9 was relatively new, as I recall), so it came across to me at the time as JMS saying, "We are not doing what they do."
