how does teaming up with the borg sound like B5?  The vorlons turned on them
not them joining an already evil vorlons.  The shadow wsa probably
coincidence or perhaps a bit of an inside joke.  IIRC the vorlons are the
telepaths on b5 not the Shadows.  They need telepaths to power their ships.
The goal of 8472 was not to unify the strong by defeating the weak, it
was to kill everyone which the considered weak (everyone else besides them).
