It’s nice having a daughter who suggests watching Babylon 5 and brings me kittens.
See, Elaine is convinced that if I watch an episode of Babylon 5, then she gets to watch Coraline afterward.
I’m halfway through season 2. Delenn’s hair still makes no sense. It grows straight through her skull.
But, seriously, her HAIR grows straight through her SKULL. It’s infuriating.
Hey, I know! Her hair must have gotten entangled in a time string! So, actually, it time-travels back to before she was born, passes through the empty space that’s not occupied by her skull — because she hasn’t been born yet — and, then, travels *back* to the present, when it reaches the space at the opposite side of that bone shield on her skull!
That must be it.
Apparently, according to the producers, there’s a gap under her bone crest. I can’t find reference to that explanation for Delenn’s hair elsewhere on the web, but it is the only explanation that makes sense. And it seems awfully convenient that she’d develop a gap under her bone crest at the same time as growing human hair that she might want to tuck under it.
If they wanted to go with that explanation, I really think they should have actually mentioned it in the episode where she’s figuring out how to deal with her new hair.
