so he has a connection to khan at leastWhen Khan Noonien Singh attempted to take over the ship in 2267, Harrison wore a red operations division uniform while among the crew trapped on the bridge. Kirk's captain's log noted commendations for numerous personnel, including Technician Harrison, who lost consciousness from oxygen deprivation. (TOS: "Space Seed")
Although Harrison was on the bridge, he was the only of the visually accounted for that didn't end up in the briefing room after being incapacitated.
I'll start it tonight! I just had to look up how many seasons it was, because just three is shocking. The way it's lauded so much by anyone I've ever heard of watching it, you'd think it lasted 10 seasons. Do the next shows last a while or something?
That same good guy talking to bad guy who is locked up was just used in The Dark Bond as well...I'm getting tired of that scene. I don't care who came up with it, it's officially overused.
lets add Skyfall because i am boredBecause the concept of our good guys talking to a bad guy that's been locked up was clearly invented by TDK and The Avengers.
I think he chose this character so he could have more room to play with story stuff thats not hindered by more recocnizable charaters.I have a feeling that JJ probably randomly picked 'John Harrison' randomly to throw us off. John Lennon, George Harison.
You have a great point about where it probably actually came from, I didn't even think about that.I don't think it began with The Silence of the Lambs but it was popularized by that film. And since Hannibal uses the situation to his advantage and ends up escaping, I guess you could say that films like The Dark Knight, The Avengers and Skyfall copied the format somewhat (even though Hannibal didn't intend to be captured). To be honest, the scene in Skyfall and what we see in this new scene make me think more of Silence than TDK.
Also, I'm 99% certain the Calendar Man scenes in The Long Halloween and Dark Victory were inspired by Hannibal as well.
That's what I meant,Skin color&Montalban is hard to ignore!!,So is there an answer though or not??
Yeah, the other shows lasted longer. For what it's worth, I didn't get into Trek at all until '09 after loving the reboot, so I went back and watched TOS for the first time on Netflix, and it's still my favorite series/crew in the franchise. To be fair, I'm still far from a Trek expert (have only seen SOME of the other series' and have yet to see any of Voyager), but some of those episodes in TOS really blew me away on a level that no classic TV show other than the Twilight Zone has done. I think you'll be surprised at how sophisticated some of the writing was.I'll start it tonight! I just had to look up how many seasons it was, because just three is shocking.

Well, Mitchell was helmsman for the Enterprise in TOS, and navigation's kinda key for them, so that could be a Mitchell clue.I think there may be a clue in the name John Harrison. Harrison invented the marine chronometer, which is used to determine longitude on a ship by celestial navigation. What the clue is, I'm not sure... but it is interesting that Abrams picked a man who is most known for developing navigation techniques that rely on celestial bodies--particularly stars.

I can't tell you how annoying it is that Cumberbatch's name is a "secret." It can only be one of two characters or a completely new character, which is doubtful to say the least. They treat us like idiots. "Let's keep his name a secret! Don't tell anyone!"
