Dr. Boyce question
- Thread starter Bynar0110
- Start date
There's been no mention of him so, presumably he's died, retired or been reassigned in the five years since "The Cage".
Boyce seemed old enough to need to make his way to Talos IV and die from dehydration.

We have no idea what happened to Boyce. He could be anywhere. For all we know he's an Admiral and head of Starfleet Medical or something like that.
I would actually love to see him turn up on SNW in some fashion. Played by, of course, Len Cariou from Blue Bloods.

John Hoyt was actually just 59 when he filmed "The Cage", even if he looked older. He lived another 27 years afterwards.
My question is where is Mark Piper?
At the gates of dawn.
Transferred prior to retirement.
Human life spans have extended, although it seems like human youth has not. They get old as quickly as we do, and then then just keep getting older without dying.
Still, Boyce could have been decades older than Hoyt.
Is there forced retirement?
Picard was in his 80s when he quit?
He died of fan apathy
Still more interesting than his successor Dr. Piper.
His blood boiled him to death after finding out McCoy stole all his shticks.
SF was planning to put "ambassador at large" Robert April out to pasture at 75 before reconsidering.
I liked Boyce. I thought he would be part of SNW. He seemed to be good friends with Pike, and was included as part of the ship's command staff (if "The Cage" is any indication).
Pike's crew without Boyce?!?

Boyce is basically just the first draft of McCoy, so we've pretty much seen him already, just under another name. As opposed to M'Benga, who only appeared twice on TOS.
