In a 1999 edition of the Australian science-fiction magazine "Frontier", Anthony Leong suggested that "Deep Space Nine" had not initially been envisaged to include a war story arc from the beginning. He demonstrated a preference for the how the plot of "Babylon 5" had been devised, while acknowledging how the "Deep Space Nine" writers had developed a continuing plotline: "... it is rare for a series creator to envision how the series will develop over time. Furthermore, the creative process in dramatic television writing tends to be organic, as events in the series will unfold based on the events that preceded it. For example, were the wars with the Klingons and the Dominion on "Deep Space Nine" foreseen by its creators back in the first season? Of course not ... these events developed over time through the input of its writing staff."
