Another similar style, again with ties to Babylon 5 (the fifth season episode "A View From the Gallery"), is how the deck crew are ensemble characters rather than just faceless minions in the background. The "Final Cut" interviews highlight how this idea was worked into the entire show.

Pratchett's "The Truth" annoyed me a bit, if only that it stole most of the concepts I had been trying to work into a piece of fic for years in which Star Trek and Blake's 7 were just different perspectives on the same universe (I can only think of one episode of Trek that came close to that, TNG "Preemptive Strike").
