What's in YOUR 'head canon'?

Flint is actually a joined Trill. His so-called other identities were either Humans that the symbiont knew well or other hosts. He believes he has lived for a really long time because the symbiont has convinced him he has.
Not married to that idea, but it would explain so much.

I have started to view Trek as having a Gundam style multiplicity. Multiple timelines, or multiple overlapping universes.
The Mirror Universe. Yesterday's Enterprise. JJTrek.
It seems to be implied that FullerTrek will be another, alternate timeline.
As to canon, you have to specify which timeline.

That doesn't explain all the Humans he claimed to be, before Humans were warp capable, unless the symbiont was on Earth millennia before Cochrane's day.
Hey, it could have happened. Maybe he doesn't even know. When McCoy says he's dying, the symbiont has already died and left its memories in his now rapidly failing humanoid body.
Yeah. Just like Vulcans landed in Carbon Creek before they "officially" made first contact. Maybe some interfering individual left a symbiont on Earth for some reason.
"No seriously, this will be HILARIOUS!"
One of those aliens who travels around the galaxy moving people and things to places where they didn't come from.
Maybe a Q.
In my headcanon, I say that Kirk's tombstone in WNMHGB reads "James R. Kirk" because Mitchell and Kirk were buddies going way back and there was a private nickname of some sort which Gary called Kirk which started with an R.
Not a mistake, a private in-joke between friends which makes the turn Gary took all the more horrifying for Kirk, who totally got it.

Interesting concept but I love the notion of Flint exactly as Jerome Bixby wrote him. Not only that, the character has been put to very good use by the Reeves-Stevens in the novel 'Federation' as well as in the Founding of the Federation series. Since the events of 'Federation' are about as solidly lodged in my own head-canon as they can be, I have to go with Flint as a human-born immortal.
That's why it's called 'head canon', though. Everyone's is a little bit different!
Simon Pegg confirmed it. There's a quote floating around here somewhere.
From what I understand, the Commodore is Tom's grandmother, to which Pegg said "probably." I'm saying "definitely"!
Were the symbionts established to have a specific, finite lifespan? Because offhand, going back to the time of ancient Rome seems kind of long even by Trill standards.
In any case, the symbiont idea doesn't work for a couple of reasons: 1) The number of compatible human hosts that would be involved--remember that Riker had difficulty hosting one; 2) Who the hell performed all of the operations to change the host over the millennia?

This is the explanation presented by Michael Jan Friedman in one of the novels in his My Brother's Keeper trilogy; it stands for "racquetball."
The Franklin Class began service during the Romulan War, Scotty meant to say Warp 6.
