Oh yeah, I forgot about the Thirdspace Aliens and Species 8472. Of course, the funny thing there is that both of those were done by Foundation Imaging... (Or had B5 already switched to Netter Digital by the time of the movies?)

And let's not forget the similarities between B5 and the Krenim Temporal Weapon.

I've never understood why people insist on that last comparison. I can see the main spherical hull in the Krenim ship and its basic bluish color -- but other than that, there's absolutely no similarity, IMO.

weren't the actual shadow character meshes and the 8472 character meshes based on the same wire frame?

I seriously doubt it. The Shadows were spidery, six-legged creatures with triangular heads. And they had the basic orientation of a quadruped -- long body, elevated head. The 8472's, on the other hand, were only three-legged, and walked upright.

The Drazi ships were a deliberate homage to the Liberator from Blake's 7.
