Added DiffLines:

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He notes to Ivanova that being immortal sucks. Even with his own race, many died, or just left, and ultimately he's alone, and over time you come to avoid forming relationships because you know they can't keep existing.
-->''"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy and love and companionship because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that most precious of illusion."''

* TheGhost: David never actually appears onscreen. Delenn is pregnant with him in the latter part of Season 5 and he's absent from Sheridan's final celebration with his friends in the series finale [[Recap/BabylonFiveS05E22SleepingInLight "Sleeping in Light"]] because he's in Ranger training and Sheridan wants him to remember his father as he was. This led to a lot of speculation from fans about what he would look like, and indeed, part of the reason he wasn't shown was because the writers weren't sure what they wanted him to look like. The canonical ''Legions of Fire'' novels confirm that he lacks a bone crest and looks fully human externally, but internally his physiology is unique enough that Dr Franklin was called in as a specialist in human-Minbari hybrids when he was under treatment.

This Given that Sheridan is human and Delenn is visibly half-human half-Minbari, this led to a lot of speculation from fans about what he would look like, David's appearance, and indeed, part of the reason he wasn't shown was because the writers weren't sure what they wanted him to look like.

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: When trying to explain to Ivanova that they can't possibly run out of time, because time is infinite. He somehow concludes with "This... is wrong tool. ''Never use this.''"
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext It makes a sort of sense in context]]. Zathras was searching for the tools and components to fix Sheridan's time stabilizer. Ivanova was being impatient and said that they were "running out of time". Zathras was, in his unique manner, basically replying that time wasn't the major issue; he, a finite being like Ivanova, had finite capabilities, and needed the right tools for the job before he could actually tackle the problem.
--->''Cannot run out of time. There is ''infinite'' time. ''You'' are finite. ''Zathras'' is finite. ''This''...is wrong tool.''

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: When NonSequitur: In one scene, he's trying to explain to Ivanova that they can't possibly run out of time, because time is infinite. infinite, and only the people doing things ''in'' time are finite, while also sorting through a chest of tools. He somehow concludes with "This... is then switches between sentences from philosophy to shop talk when he comments in the exact same tone and cadence that he has picked up the wrong tool. ''Never use this.''"
