[edit] The Thirdspace Aliens and the Hand
It would be nice to know where this information comes from, because shockinly (as a huge Babylon 5 fan) I never heard this until reading it here. It looks like Original research. If it is OR, it should be removed. Radagast83 00:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] non canon, fan theories
How are they notable? Radagast83 21:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Fan theories never are. I removed the two most blatant parts (the 'it's only speculation but...' part and the 'fanon' name for the aliens. But there are multiple problems with this article... much of it is original research, there are no citations and it is written largely in an in-Universe tone, not emphasising the fictional nature of the subject.

[edit] Information
Yes this information is creditable. its not made up and it can be found in the movie Babylon 5 : Thirdspace.
if anything I can probably enter the clips of the movies that this information is found into the YouTube Website so it can be linked and added as a source to this article. all the information was pretty much derived from the acctual movie.
This article is pretty accurate however i will look for any errors just incase —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maverick423 (talk • contribs)
- Hello there. Wikipedia has a policy of no original research. Watching the movie might be enough for a fan website, but this is Wikipedia, which is trying to build encylopedic articles. Information here needs to be verifiable (especially if it's open to interpretation, which isn't necessary for summaries of characters or stories, as it's perfectly clear what's going on), and need to be shown that those sources are "official". If the information is not, it doesn't belong here unless it can be stated that it is infact notable (e.g. widespread for many years, or was official at some point before being modified), but just stating that something is notable (or finding a website that claims this) doesn't make it so (if its in the novelization or straight from JMS in a transcript, then it should be noted as such).

Blah sorry Radagast heh it slipped my mind. well then I belive i can look up this information from the official site itself however the fact that noone has posted anything from the official site itself must mean that the data isnt there. I understand that it has to be verified so I'll see if I can hook you all up with a reliable and official source Maverick423 22:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Good news i found this article about the subject and it explains pretty much everything on the article presented. it does however pose a striking similarity to the article in WIKI so this article might be copied straight off this site with minor edits to pass it as the persons own. in any ways here is the source and proof to the creditablilty and the evidance that this might of been copied *not trying to accuse or anything. im just stating cause they look simular

- They appear to be similar because at the bottom it notifies the user that it's been taken directly from Wikipedia using the GNU Free Documentation License (as many sites seem to do these days), so in a sense it's just self referencing the article and isn't really a letitimate source. Glad you're looking though. Radagast83 20:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible reference...
The thirdspace aliens are at one point describes as seeing themselves as a "superior species," with the belief that all other races should be "exterminated."
I'm wondering if there's anything on the extras or whatnot that acknowledges this as a nod to the Daleks of Doctor Who (considering that these two phrases are so closely associated with the Daleks as to be virtually inseparable). 76.231.44.109 (talk) 09:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Information?
The electric eel thing, and their "the One" concept, is that from the novelization? I can't remember it being in the film itself. 81.233.196.49 (talk) 18:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Possible Shadow Connection
In addition to the fact that their architecture resembles Shadow one (as the article states), I thought the Aliens themselves resembles the Shadows themselves, especially with the multiple red eyes. Perhaps the Aliens "corrupted" the Shadows? Any word from JMS on this? 81.233.196.49 (talk) 18:51, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
