Fiver

sustantivo

1. 1

   A Zaidi Shi'a Muslim.

   The three major branches or sects are the Twelvers, Seveners, and Fivers.

   Whereas the largest Shi’a branch, the ‘Twelvers’, strictly believe that there were only 12 visible imams, the ’Fivers’ have recognised many more imams throughout their history.

   (the Zaydis, or Fivers, were the first subset to break away from larger Shi’ism, and traditionally elected an imam from among the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad as their leader).

2. 2

   jergaA fan of the American science-fiction television series Babylon 5.

   It is more than two weeks that Babylon 5 aired for the last time. We, Portuguese Fivers of conviction, are few.

   Did all the Fivers who watched it notice that the female scientist (DrWhatshername) was played by Tamlyn Tomita, the actress who played Lt. Cmdr. Laurel Takashima in Babylon 5's pilot movie?

   I've had hardcore Fivers point to both Jadzia Dax AND Kira as ripoffs of Ivanova (they can't decide which, I suppose) despite the fact that both premiered on DS9 first, and JMS didn't get rid of Ivanova until AFTER The Gathering, which showed when DS9 first came around.
