How many "species" of aliens were mentioned being on Antar?

Is it the Antarians, Shapeshifters, and Skins? Or were Antarians just a general classification and the Shapeshifters and Skins were the more specific?

As you can see I'm very confused on the classification of aliens on Antar. If someone could help me I'd be so grateful. Thanks.

They don't give much information, but here's the way I generally take it.

'Skin' is not a species so much as a contextual description... like 'person wearing a spacesuit' or 'man in a red hat.' It's the husks that made them skins, not the real alien people living inside. We don't know how many different species could wear husks and become Skins, but it appears that most of them were native Antarians of one sort or another.

Shapeshifters like Nasedo and Kal seem to be another kind of life form, especially since they can survive on earth without interference, which the Antarians apparently cannot. Given what we find out about them in 'Control', it seems just possible that shapeshifters were genetically engineered by the Antarians as servants, which might mean that they can't reproduce their own kind and don't count as a species that way. But that's heavily speculative.

Not sure if the same species live on all five planets from the Summit, but they seem to understand each other well enough that that's possible - that Antar sent out colony ships a long time ago and they found four other planets to live on, say. Or they could be intended to be all natives of their own worlds.

And then, there's Whittaker's remark to Isabel that 'your kind doesn't rule any longer' or something like that, which seemed to suggest that there were racial differences between the royal four and kivar, and not just political issues.

Basically, make it up yourself and have fun. It's hard to contradict canon here because it says so little.

Thanks so much. I completely forgot about the other planets around Antar. Thanks again.

I think Maria once said something like "Good luck Lizzie." in some of the eralier episodes.

I think it´s Crazy...the scene when Liz gets the flowers, but I´m not sure.

Actually I'm almost positive Hank's last name is Whitmore (not Whitman like Alex, but Whitmore). I've got a quote lying around here that has Hank referred to as Hank Whitmore, but I haven't figured out what episode its from yet. I'll come back later if I figure it out.

I think you're right, Kate. Whitmore sounds VERY familiar. Might it have come from the document Topolsky is carting around about Michael in TMA? I know some people pause on those things and get info off of them.

Kath

Whitmore sounds familiar to me too.Now you got me curious, cause I can´t remember the episode where it´s said and I´m almost sure that it was said somewhere.

Hank's full name was mentioned in "Independence Day"

It is Whitmore.

What is Alex's mom's name? Do we ever find out?

It's Gloria, LairaBehr.

Yep. And the place we find out is in 'It's too late and it's too bad' when Liz is asking Alex's dad about the flowers 'from sweden':

"It's awful to admit, but Gloria and I didn't even think about contacting them."

Who is the principal of West Roswell? Do we ever find out?

I'm pretty sure it's Principal Forester.

Thanks - I went back and read through previous posts and found it. I think it's spelled with 3 R's - "Forrester". Thanks again!
