The chilling thing being that thus he comes across as bth inhuman and human *at the same time*. A very daring concept from a traditional fantasy/SF perspective, but, I agree, much truer to life.
For me it is this kind of thing that makes B5 stand out.
he concept still chills me, more than anything else the Shadows do on this show
Makes one wonder about the Vorlon ships, which are obviously biotech too.
Interestingly how hints get dropped way before S4 (and its revelations about teeps - I don't think we ever learn about the ships). It's the kind of hint usually only noticed in hindsight, but it makes for solid continuity.
