Ever notice how JMS kills off all the guys with nice hair?  I mean, think
about it...Marcus has beautiful hair, and he dies.  Byron has long hair, and
he dies.  Many of Byron's male telepaths have long hair, and a bunch of them
die.  Seeing a pattern here?

I would assert that a character's chance of success on Babylon 5 is
inversely proportional to the length of his hair.

Let's take a look at the regulars:

-Sinclair - His hair is okay, but he has a bit of a receding hairline.  In
keeping with his mediocre mop, he makes it through a season as a main
character, then has one guest appearance before getting stuck a thousand
years in the past.

-GariBALDY - No comment.  The name says it all.

-Franklin - Could it get much shorter?

-Londo - Sure, he's got that fan of hair, but he's bald on top.

-G'Kar - Spots don't count.

-Kosh - He was bald when he appeared as an angel, and even if he had been a
good old-fashioned medievally well-endowed angel, ectoplasm doesn't count
either.

-Sheridan - He's got decent hair.  But heck, he died too!  I mean, yes he
came back, but if his hair had been longer, I bet he wouldn't have.

-Lennier - Well, I don't think I need to say anything about a Minbari.

-Senator Hidoshi - Bald.

-President Clark - Bald.  Yes, he died, but he got to be the villain for
three seasons.  There's something to be said for that.

-Brother Theo - Bald.

Interesting, hmm?  ;)

A male baldnes pattern, perhaps?  

Frankly, I think you're splitting hairs here.
