That's sort of a running theme, isn't it? Exerting control over someone by controlling their hair. General Buzz tried to pull the same thing on Ripp, but it backfired on him. I suppose I just really like the use of hair as symbolism. Have you ever noticed how people usually get a major haircut after a breakup, and things like that? Hair is such a big part of someone's identity, isn't it?

Yeah, the Beakers took away the one thing they let Nervous keep all those years. It's a big expression of their power over him, and also... Loki's going to need that hair.
