Talk:Zapp Brannigan


 * One little thing - additional information from the DVDs suggests that Zapp's full name is indeed "Zapp Fitzgerald Brannigan". Should we include this?

What disk? If it can be confirmed, it should definitely be included.


 * I think it is one of the Season 3 disks. It was in that bit where you get shown how Leela is drawn. In the background, a lot of pictures can be seen, one of them being the one from the Lovenasium showing a certain "John Fitzgerald Brannigan". Here is a link to the picture in question:

However, it's a spoof on the famous portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, just like the portrait of Kramer from Seinfeld. The name is clearly a spoof on this (hence the inconsistent first name). It's also the name of the portrait, not the subject. My vote is to not include it. Assuming your vote is to include it, that makes Gopher the deciding vote, as we are the three most active contributors at the moment... Feedback, Gopher?


 * We can always include it as a side note, as there is no real evidence of Zapp really bearing that name. However, even in these times a name like "Zapp" seems highly unlikely... maybe it is indeed his true name, and the "Zapp" part is just a nickname? Could be worth mentioning. But I'm good if you decide not to include it - probably not important.

Wikipedia kicked our butts
While I don't condone stealing the text outright, we should probably read through the Wikipedia article, and maybe transfer a bit. But paraphrase, so it's not theft. Either way, this article needs expansion, badly. --Buddy 13:14, 4 January 2007 (PST)

Zapp
I was re-reading my comics, and in comic 3.0, on page 4, on a shelf of junk there is a box that is labelled "ZAPPED! The Uncensore(d)" and on the cover it has a picture of Zapp and a very surprised looking Leela covering herself with a sheet. Apparently Zapp recorded their 'intimate session' and it is now being sold (at least in flea market junk stores). It's also on page 17. I didn't notice this in the article, but I'm not sure if it should be in there. Do we consider comics canon? Sliferjam 23:27, 6 August 2008 (CEST)
 * Although I wouldn't be surprised if Zapp did record the session, I don't think comics (just like both of the Anthlogy of Interests) are considered canon. -Mini-Me 23:33, 6 August 2008 (CEST)
 * Nope, we don't consider the comics cannon. But when something particularly note worthy is only in them it makes it into the main articles (such as Bender's son with Crushinator, or Hermes' year of birth). This info is here in the comic article though. - Quolnok 11:45, 7 August 2008 (CEST)

Zapps rank?
In "When aliens attack" (as the artical says) he is identified as "25 star general Zapp Brannigan" yet later on in "into the wild green Yonda" Nixon calls him Commodore 64 Zapp Brannigan (a possible reference to the game console) - this should be atleast noted in the artical i think.
