Bakula new Star Trek captain

I'm rooting for Bakula as I've liked the work he's done in the past. However, in reading the press releases, it sounded to me like the Trek franchise (owned by Paramount -- not the Roddenberrys) was trying to borrow from the Babylon-5 universe again. The description of the captian Bakula is to play sounded *very* much like the descripton for Captain Matthew Gideon of "Crusade" -- someone loyal to his crew, but not afraid to "take risks" and "gamble" when he thinks he's right.

Gideon *wasn't* your typical sci-fi captian -- he had a definate shady side that worked in a place like the B-5 universe, but I'm not so sure "works" in Trek. . .
