SEASON TWO

 

"When your parents combined their DNA, the odds of them producing someone with your precise genetic pattern were ten million to one. Add in the odds of your parents meeting and bothering to procreate in the first place, and the odds of your existence are along the lines of drawing three straight Imperial Courts in an honest game of Vedran whist! If you overcame those odds once, who's to say you can't do it again?"
-Tyr, The Widening Gyre

 

“So… don’t you tell me that I’m going to die here today. For the sun has not yet risen on the day when Tyr Anasazi out of Victoria by Barbarrosa will face death graciously.

-Beetle and Tyr, A Heart for a Falsehood Framed

-Tyr (to Andromeda), Pitiless as the Sun

 

"Don't you preach at me, don't you DARE preach at me, you sanctimonious..."

-Tyr (about Harper) All too Human

"You're walking- a significant improvement."
"Yeah, Trance says my boys are napping again. But man, I feel like I just drank a whole bottle of industrial solvent."
