Similarities between 8472 and Vasudans
on: March 21, 2010, 07:28:21 am
Ok, so last night I finished watching a Voyager episode entitled "Scorpion." Included in this episode was a new Species, Species "8472." After seeing the aliens, the bone structure in a way reminded me of that of a Vasudan's body structure (without the back leg ofcourse.) The Scorpion episodes was released in early 1997. Is it possible that the modelers at  :v: could have modeled the Vasudans after this Species? The bodily structures just (to me) look so similar, that I thought I'd bring this up. Some pics for everyone's convenience also. Opinions, thoughts, discuss. :)

Looks like a mutated Vasudan/Shivan hybrid.  :lol:

In a weird way, it kind of does. ;)

Never thought of that, good call.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

After learning other theories, such as in AoA, I don't subscribe to the above anymore.  But it's still there!

A lot of "aliens" appear to be "designed" with the human body structure...by the way, that species does look like they have some deformation disease as per above :)

Well, IIRC it does have a deformation disease, due to the space they lived in. And yes, I honestly I can't say that I've seen a lot of alien based movies where the aliens do not have a human-like bodily structure.

probably because there arent many actors that can fit into a shivan costume

8472 was CGI in their early appearances.

Eh?  Was there ever a time when they were not CGI?

(Unless you're referring to that stupid episode when they were trying to impersonate humans.)

I didn't watch their later appearances, so I wanted to be careful.

The point being that, being CGI, there was no real requirement for 8472 to be humanoid.
