Zhaan Dead

Is Zhaan Really Dead?

On 4/6/01, we saw Zhaan heroically sacrifice her life to save Moya and the crew. Specifically, the Delvian priestess willingly piloted another ship away from Moya into the turbulent wall of a wormhole, and dissipated into a cloud of glowing green sparks.

Virginia Hey has made convention appearances over the past few months, so it seems certain that she hasn't been involved in most of Season 3. Still ... there's hope. Is she gone, or is she coming back?

Please vote, and tell me your ideas of just how the writers might work this little tangle out.

Coming Back

Disintegrated
You don't get more dead than ripped to glowing motes by the space-time riptide of a wormhole wall.
Makeup
Reportedly, Virginia Hey mentioned at the Denver Con that she can't take the makeup any more.
D-E-A-D
That pretty much says it all.
Cost
Resurrection always costs something. Bringing Zhaan back would make light of her sacrifice for Aeryn.
Pa'u Power
Hey, if that maniac Stark can make it back after being disintegrated, Zhaan can too. What does a Banik Stykera got that a Delvian Pa'u doesn't?
Promise
She has a promise to the Builders to fulfill - she vowed to take care of Moya. She didn't even have a chance to talk with one of the crew about it. She'll come back to keep her promise.
Actress Promise
(Note: Unconfirmed by the editor) Virginia Hey once promised that the only way the writers could kill off Zhaan would be to do away with her in RL.
She's a Plant
Maybe she left a seed or a bud or a bloom or something somewhere.
Stark Searching
Stark is searching for Zhaan, in some fashion, on the planet from "The Choice". Maybe he'll really find her.
True Love
She's got to come back, her true love (Stark) needs her.
