I came here for the Zach hate!

I want to go on record I hated this character WAY before everyone else. I saw his petulance and evil early on.

I heard that there are actually Zach Apologists on this forum? Tell me that is not true!

I read a few of the Zach hate threads. Yeah, I feel the same hate, maybe even worse than most.

I dont understand why writers made one the of the most heinous characters in TV history a bratty little boy/odious child/petulant youth. Joffrey has NOTHING on this junior Nazi nuclear mad bomber, mother monster lover.

People keep wanting him to die.

I don't want that. I want every episode to have someone slapping him in his mouth. "Shut the F up Zach and sit your ass down!"

No, Zach needs to be killed SLOWLY for all the pain and misery he caused.
He made 9/11 look like Sesame Street! He blew up a nuke in the center of New
York AND freed the master. And no idiot apologist can say he didn't know
what he was doing, because he did. I understood what a nuke was and does years
before this kids age. He deserves torture followed by death.

There will be people dying slow, painful deaths from radiation poisoning years
after the bomb went off. He is a monster. At least the Master and Eichorst have
an excuse. The Master requires blood to live, and Eichorst only went evil after
years of life beating him down. If Zach is setting off nukes at his age, imagine
what this monster will be like if he lives to be 25.

I agree. Since season 1 I think I've hated Zach. I just wish they had gotten rid of the little brat in the first season. What awful, sloppy writing that I hate a kid more than the Master or Eichorst.

If I were Stroykian, I would turn in the Lumen for Zach cooked on a barbecue spit.

We all hate this *beep* kiddo. Hopefully he will become the master and die next season.

season 1 Zach (the character and the young actor playing him) was mostly likable. he was a nice little kid. it's season 2 & 3 Zach that is mind-numbingly atrocious.

I don't even think it's the actors as much as it's how he's written. He's such an ungrateful, whiny, unfeeling turd.

I want him to die every time he shows up. Like Kenny on South Park.

No, no!!! I hated Zach WAAAAAY before you did!!!! This piece of trash has been on
my *beep* list for years now!!!

And for the Zach apologists, what, did you guys get tired of defending nazis,
ISIS and Trump?

I wonder does that kid actor realize how much people hate his character ;p

[–] JackCal 8 years ago

I'm sure he does. But I'm sure he also realizes it's his job to make Zack that way.

Ya I read the books and Zach seems much more like this Zach than the first version of the kid. To me anyway. It's exactly because of reasons like his pressing that button that the Master has been basically grooming the little *beep* The kid thinks he must be someone very special too because the Master gave him his Worthers Originals, I mean he sees the Master as a God almost, and to be so protected and whatnot by such a being has made the kid a complete little *beep* I bet he doesn't show much guilt for all the people he will have killed and will be responsible for killing as a result of his tantrum. His mum and da Master did a great job messing with the kids mind, too.

You can tell by his photos on here he is not fully dependent on a script for portraying a real *beep*

Hey you weren't the only one to hate Zach before it was cool, but now I'm convinced they INTENTIONALLY wanted us to hate him because he's a villain. Not all little kids are kind and innocent. He Keyser Soze'd everybody. I wouldn't be surprised if he kills the Master and takes his place as king vamp.

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.
