Now there's something I haven't seen in ages.
And I'm not talking about Garak's disturbingly tight Tom Cruise Underoos.

Who is John Harrison (Possible SPOILERS or Insane Babbling)
- Thread starter The Green Mushroom
- Start date
I vaguely remember it but is there a reason the last one is cut off?
It happened once in TOS. Norman the android from the episode "I, Mudd" somehow made it aboard the Enterprise as a red shirt and took over the ship.
That's not the same as saying that it makes sense or belongs in a movie script.
It's Khan.

There is no reason to believe that Norman was a member of Starfleet, but instead just someone who snuck on the ship wearing a uniform. Norman was impersonating being a member of Starfleet. Abrams has very much implied that John Harrison is in fact a member of Starfleet, and comes from Starfleet. John Harrison is NOT impersonating being a member of Starfleet.
Quote from JJ Abrams about John Harrison:

For the record, Norman the Android masqueraded as an Enterprise crewman wearing a blue sciences/medical shirt, not red.
Androids are extremely boring. Just fucking awful.
A waste of a good Cumberbatch if they went that route.
So, if John Harrison was human, it would be awesome, but if he was revealed to be an android, without changing any of his scenes in the movie, it would be extremely boring?
Androids aren't necessarily boring, but the writing for them could be.
No biggie, I just wanted to make sure you had the correct information.
I once made the mistake of thinking he wore a gold/mustard command shirt and even wrote somebody a letter containing that erroneous information.
Looking back at JJ Abrams and having read some of the comics, one of my deepest fears may be coming true. A number of his works involve a conspiracy, which the protagonists must identify and confront.
In the comic "The Return of the Archons", it was insinuated that there is a conspiracy involving Starfleet. Admiral Pike is aware of this and is in contact with one of the conspirators. He is told by his contact to keep Captain Kirk in check. In the comic, the captain had uncovered an experiment on Beta III that was initiated by Starfleet. Now, from the Empire Magazine, the readers are informed that "He’s an incredibly brilliant strategist who is aware of various truths that Kirk is not privy to."

Oh, frack!

That's because his real name is Jack Harkness and he works for
Torchwood: outside the government, beyond the police. Fighting for the future on behalf of the human race
I suppose Section 31 still exists in the altered timeline, though we don't know for certain. As to any connection if it does....who knows?
