No
No
No, not like that.
Not Emperor Zurg
Not Zuul from Ghostbusters
I’m also not one of the 5000 or so former members of Weather Report, but I can’t name a ‘Z’ one off the top of my head, so take a DQ.
no
no
no
Summary
Z
Quite right on Zurg and Zul. Weather Report is indeed correct, but I’m afraid you’ve forgotten the last name of Viennese pianist/keyboardist Joe Zawinul, who, along with Wayne Shorter is one of the constant members. (Or at least, he’s on every album I’ve heard - no idea what has gone on since the Joe Zawinul Syndicate and the Weather Report reunions…)
So…
DQ: Would you be described as an android/robot?
No
Summary
Z
IQ1: Were you the father of James and John?

I’ll jump in with a few questions here.
IQ1: Were you once grabbed by the head and thrown to the ground on national TV?
IQ2: Are you an ancient philosopher famous for paradoxes?
IQ3: Did you take up professional boxing when recently unemployed due to labor strife?
Correct as to Zelig.
Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek: First Contact was assisted by Lily, played by Alfre Woodard.
The hero fell in love with Catherine Zeta-Jones’s character in the movie Zorro.
Waiting for an answer to this. I’ll reserve my other two DQs for now. Thanks!
IQ1: Not Zebedee
Take DQs for the other 2.
IQ2: Not Zoroaster? I’m guessing here. Take DQs for the other 2.
Oops, sorry. I missed that one.
No
Summary
Z
IQ: Are you dead, baby?
IQ: Did you play guitar?
IQ1: Don Zimmer
IQ2: Zeno of Elea
IQ3: Tom Zbikowski
DQ1: Are you an animal?
I’ll wait on the two other DQs - I think there are enough pending to get us to 20 already.
Well, I’ve got two DQs, and don’t know what to ask. Anyone who’d like to ask 'em, help yourself.
Not Zed from Pulp Fiction
But…
Yes, I am Ziggy Stardust,
the title character of David Bowie’s concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Bowie had planned a stage production to flesh out the story (human civilization has only 5 years left (“Five Years”), alien comes to Earth (“Star Man”) and becomes a rock star to spread a message of hope (“Star”), pisses off his bandmates (“Ziggy Stardust”), succumbs to rock and roll excess and dies (“Rock and Roll Suicide”) but as far as I know it was never produced. Other Bowie songs such as “All The Young Dudes” and “Rebel Rebel” were originally written for the production.
The non-fiction film referenced in my DQ answers was the concert film Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars which records a concert, not a stage production, where Bowie performed the entire concert in character.
