Re: When/how was the Raiders Turn Discovered?

Yeah, I'm not sure if 'discovered' is the right term or not. Maybe more like 'theorized' but it did take on a life of it's own and become accepted as fact. I can get the same kind of swoop with a too-tight hat (my original HJ shrunk, or my head expanded—whichever side you want to fall on with that) ...

Maybe they intended it as a nod to Raiders but then realized they needed an in-story solution to having it as it wouldn't make sense for it to reappear.

Personally, my favorite nod to Raiders is the Nazi getting run over during the chase.

Aside from the mushrooming, it's also too narrow. Ford would need side dents in his head for this to fit!
