Comment on Canon Connections: LDS 5x03 -Best Exotic Nanite Hotel

Judging by the amount of facial hair growth Boimler’s exhibited over the course of the three episodes this season, we can assume that so far the entire season has taken place over about 17 hours.

Now now, let’s not be normative about the speed of facial hair growth. Some people take longer filling in their mustache and beards than others, and this could easily be something like 17 days if Boimler has particularly slow and/or sparse facial hair.

Characters were artificial body parts include […] Jack Crusher [personality]

Harsh, but true.

Besides, we all know that beards cannot grow in space.

I would agree with you, if not for the fact that we’ve already seen Boimler’s facial hair potential in Beardler. Unless that alternate universe iteration of Boimler was using some sort artificial hair growth enhancement, it was naturally quite full, which would indicate to me that prime universe Boimler has that same potential.

  That’s fair. But we do not know the specifics of that parallel universe Boimler’s face fur:
  
  How long has it been growing?
  
  Did he fall into the raisin fertiliser as a teen, prompting an uncanny beard growth?
  
  Might he even be part Tribble (on his mother’s side)?
  
  Or is it simply a Captain’s Chair-worthy toupee? I’m betting on the toupee, and so is Shatner.
