Who's a fan of Zathras?

[Trollheart]

Now, not Zathras. Zathras is who I'm talking about. No, not Zathras!
Love the guy. Great character. Tim Choate will be sadly missed. To quote his character: "Very sad life. Probably have very sad death. Still, at least there is symmetry."

One of the great things (one of the many) about Babylon 5 was how they could take a tiny, minor, almost insignificant character playing a bit part, who is only in, what, three episodes? And we still remember him.

Go Zathras!

[Jan]

Well...I liked Zathras a little bit more than Zathras but yeah, they were all okay in my book. And extremely quotable.

Zathras...Cartagia...anybody worry about how well JMS can write flat-out crazy people?

Beyond B5, JMS's take on Gordon Stewart Northcott as played by Jason Butler Harner was interesting.

Let us hope that JMS does not decide to write Jan "insane, but in a good way" Schroeder's biography.

You noticed, perhaps that I chose the word 'crazy' instead of 'insane', right?

He needs to finish his own autobiography, first, anyway. And if it takes as long as that medieval play he's been working on forever, I'll be long gone before he gets around to "The Life and Times of the Insane Miss Jan".

[Trollheart]

If that is the case, then we shall all meet again, in a place where no shadows fall.

And it'll be your round!

[Jan]

<Zathras>Cannot meet again...no...no...have not yet met first time so cannot meet again yet. No...no...very bad...time travel very bad...</Zathras>

Insane...in a good way...
(For anybody who may not have the script books, JMS described me that way in an introduction he wrote to a section of the books I worked on.)

... and I intentionally ignored it.

Great title! Fortunately, JMS will probably never see it.

I love Zathras.

[Jonas]

Have I mentioned that we have two turtles and they're both called Zathras? It was funny explaining that to the vet...

[Marsden]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Zathras is his own grandfather?


Kind of like Philip J Fry?

[Winged Heron]

Zathras - love all 10 or was that 8 of them. But The Zathras, not the Zathras or the other Zathrases, I liked the best.

As to being his own grandfather, is there not symmetry in this?

[ILUVJOHNSHERIDAN]

there's 9 now!!!!

[Macbeth]

....or the other Zathrases....

I belive the proper plural is Zathri.

[glindros]

Were they really brothers, or clones as I suspected? Any canon info on this?
