The great thing about the Narn was that they started as the Cardassians but turned into the Bajorans.
You mean, like the actual cardassians who go from imperialist rulers to uneasy adversaries to willing subject of an even bigger imperialist, and then finally become the oppressed and exploited on their own world, like the bajorans were?
Good point, yeah, the Cardassians go throuhg a similar change. There was a lot of cross-polination of themes in those two series. But I would still say that B5 did it better, since Gul Dukat never stops being an evil bastard (just a more facetted one), while G'Kar turns into probably one of the most heroic and selfless figures in the whole story (as far as I remember).
