[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by shikaru808: [qb] This "John Harrison" character is probably a cover name for someone else, like Marion Cotillard in Rises. [/qb][/QUOTE]I've heard that theory, with that same example, and I don't buy it for a second. There's no reason for "John Harrison" to be a pseudonym for anything, because the only two reasons why it would be a pseudonym are: 1 He's actually a character that only a TOS fanboy would know (i.e. Gary Mitchell, Garth of Izar, Gary Seven, etc.). 2. He's actually a character that the casual Non-Trek-fan moviegoer would recognize (i.e. Khan and Khan only). Because Abrams is making these movies for the casual moviegoing audience, reason 1 would be a pointless thing for Abrams to do, because there's no payoff for the audience to get why Harrison's really someone else from TOS. And while most people who aren't Trek fans have at least a passing familiarity with Khan thanks to TWOK, that would be the only logical possibility. However, with everything we've learned about Harrison up to this point, there isn't a single thing that's identical to Khan from TWOK. So if he's completely different, why would he need to be the same character? [/QB][/QUOTE]
