Convoluted and Fanwanky are Lindelof's middle names.

Captain April is not in the public domain, he's not part of popular culture, and he's not a tough British guy.

IIRC, April is indeed British.

No knows what type person that April is. But we do know, that he is British. And it highly likely the April in Abram universe is the same as the April in Roddenberry universe.

Was he British in TAS?

I watched "The Counter Clock Incident" the other day and I'm British... I'll be generous and say yes.

I know Nichelle Nichols who voiced his wife, was doing a broad Southern States accent. To be honest, James Doohan just seemed to be doing old and a bit posh. But none of the extraordinary upper class accents Hollywood generically placed as British for decades. You know, like in old black & white WWII films... usually RAF officers played by David Niven.

April just seemed accent neutral, and ancient sounding. I mean, he could be from the same place as Kelsey Grammer for all I know.

Especially since you've been this way with both peple saying he is Khan and with people saying he isn't Khan at different times.

Uh-uh. Kha-a-a-a-a-a-a-an!

Are you going to apologize to the folks you've treated harshly who said it's not Khan when it's discovered it isn't or if it turns out he actually is Khan, are you goig to apologize to those you teated harshly who said he is Khan?

Absolutely not.

What if John Harrison is actually Capt. Ron Tracey (or his son, John Harrison Tracey) who has found the fountain of youth, and it has made him super strong? Maybe he gives some of that fountain of youth to the little girl in the hospital and since she is young herself it acts like a antibiotic and cures her.

I know Lindelof, and he told me: John Harrison is Mr. Adventure who has travelled back in time to lock Uhura in a closet.
