That's the issue though, it's never really explained, and as I said, the rest of her race all have the ridge attached all around the skull, and it's much bigger and covers more area around the back of the skull as well, iirc. I mean, there's even this little scene where it's definitely long all over and you can't even see the ridge at all.

This was something that bothered me through the entire time I was watching the show, I have Feelings on this issue.

You can sort of see the ridge in that scene, just emerging from her temple and going up under the ... forest.

But yeah, it always bugged me too. And really, this should not be the part of the show you're focusing on, but it just niggles at you. Seriously. What's up with it?

I think it's partly because as in that scene, Delenn likes to explain her biology a LOT so there's emphasis on that so that this little quirk gets absolutely nothing, not even another scene where she's... fastening ridge on or whatever the hell is, about to interrupted by Important Space Station Things, kind of stands out.

From the looks of things, it's fairly attached at her temples, emerging from below the skin (at least in some scenes, in others it's hard to tell). Around the back of the skull it might be less attached? Or, as above, possibly something like a baleen plate?

I think it might be that, yeah. That such a big deal is made of her transformation that you just can't help but notice that physically, it doesn't make sense. Not as part of her body, as opposed to something cosmetic. Which was probably a fairly big mistake on their part.

Heee!
I totally understand. I have the same sort of 'feelings' on issues in shows, too. Doesn't make me hate them, or detract or anything, but.... It bugs me.
