-> All in your own opinion.  Just because they look similar (not exactly 
like
-> mind you) to the Shadows doesn't mean they ripped them off. The Shadows 
were
-> an old race in the same part of the galaxy as B5.  Species 8472 (Whatever)
-> is from another dimension or something and are just really powerful.
for all we know they may indeed be related to the shadows of the b5
continuity, and the producers of voyager and b5 may have up their
sleeves some sort of crossover, like aliens vs predator in th comics. of
course, if they don't currently have that idea, im all for getting that
idea put to the two companies,,,,,
