Z is usually ZERO HOUR, or the time of an attack. In this case however, it may
be Zaha'dune (or however you spell it.).
If this is so, then Zah in Minbari is Zero, not ONE as we have been led to
belive. This could have some frightening consequences.

What is the countdown for z minus # days. Clearly something big. An attack on
B5 prehaps. The Shadows are bound to be a little upset after
having their toes danced on! Well only 6 days to wait!

Its also possible that the Vorlons and Shadows are working *together* to train
and test the younger races (if so, then it looks like the Mimbari may have
failed the last test).

Or of course, the Mimbari may count down to 1 and not 0.

One point that has occupied my mind is that Z'ha'dum is not going to be a
massive ship battle. With the return of Sheridans wife it could be possible
that the shadows might be looking for a peace treaty of sorts. If she was
going to assinate him then she would hardly walk in the front door and
introduce herself. Therefore she is there for some other reason. Perhaps she
is his equal and opposite (unlikely). The only thing that seems certain about
this episode is that everything we had beleived about the plot may well be
false.
As JMS said in the Lurkers guide "the game we think we've been playing may not
be the same game at all". One speculation is that the Vorlons and the Shadows
are after the same thing but just going about it differently.
> Z is usually ZERO HOUR, or the time of an attack. In this case
Another point about zah is that while Z(ah)'ha'dum is bad Entil'Z(ah) is a
good thing. I don't know if its of any relevance but who knows
