I had to put it down for a bit and resume.

This entire movie was written as if ChatGPT was trained on #JMS scripts.

JMS tries to be hip by going meta at one point. He has #Zathras do a joke that involves copyright on the words “lost in space.” Ok boomer.  And, please, leave Zathras alone. Poor guy’s been through enough. 

I imagine for fun one could watch Zathras in an alt order:

s4e2 for Zathras, brother of Zathras
s3e13-14 for the big story
s1e20 for seeing the story as b4 slips thru the timeline.

But JMS reinserted most of s1e20’s Zathras scenes in greater detail in s3e13-14. So flipping the order is just a shuffle that dwells on folks’ confusion surrounding him. In the director’s commentary, JMS hinted the Zathras’ wider story could be interesting. I wonder if that went anywhere #zathras #babylon5 4/4

s4e12, Conflicts of Interest. Zathras (one of 9 brothers of Zathras) meets Ivanova, which confuses her because she remembers him from:

No, that was not Zathras. That was Zathras.

Zathras Watch Order

s1e20, Babylon Squared. Zathras, but he recognizes Sinclair. B4 appears, Zathras has appeared on it.

Zathras not of this time. You take, Zathras die. You leave, Zathras die. Either way, it is bad for Zathras.

s3e13, War Without End, Part 1. A brief appearance is hinted at. Will watch to see.

s3e14, War Without End, Part 2. This is Zathras’ big day.

You are finite. Zathras is finite. This...is wrong tool.
