Spoilers All about Kovich...
- Thread starter F. King Daniel
- Start date
According to the Back to the Future Wiki, it is. Apparently it's what Bob Gale had in mind.

Though I misspelled his first name in the previous post, so I just corrected that.
The middle initial "L" is a least Canonical because Doc reads it in the letter at the beginning of Part III, and we see his initials where the DeLorean was buried.
I don't think it was Sisko's ball they all signed, but the ball they used for the game. I don't recall Sisko's baseball being full of autographs when Kira has it at the end of the finale.
That might be right. Weird though Sisko wouldn't want to use that one on his display to replace the old one. I suppose maybe the old one though has sentimental value. Had it since he was a kid or something.
Sisko's was a bit more used looking tho. Just having a baseball in the 32nd century was pretty significant.
KOVICH: Captain? No offence, but I'm running late for my date with Agent Ymalay. I'm going to bring a bottle of Chateau Picard's finest, and a tribble to break the ice. Thank Detmer and Owosekun for me for bringing the ISS Enterprise here. I'm going to reverse the polarity of its Agony Booth, and then we're going to take turns inside...
The original ending revealed Kovich to be John Harriman.
"Another century come to past, but I've... I've had to see my friends and loved ones die off through the years... Ferris and Sloane... Demora Sulu... my wife... my boy. And you Michael... you'll die too, and my curse is knowing that I'll be there to see it. It's my atonement, you see; it's my punishment, for letting James T. Kirk ride the lightning; for killing a miracle of God. You'll be gone like all the others. I'll have to stay. Oh, I'll die eventually, that I'm sure. I have no illusions of immortality, but I will wish for death... long before death finds me. In truth, I wish for it already."

The baseball could simply be a replica of the one Sisko had. I mean, people have replicas of various historical items today. I could see Kovich having a replica of Sisko's baseball if the original is in a museum somewhere on Bajor, IMO...
He said he was Daniels but people assume he is the Enterprise Daniels. When in reality he was Billy Daniels. A ensign aboard the Enterprise-B who almost died before finding out he is immortal and can't die. He quit main Starfleet and joined Section 31 before being recruited back to the Starfleet to work with Temporal Investigations under the new name Lucsly. He even swiped Sisko's baseball when he wasn't looking on a visit. Replaced with a replicator fake and Sisko never found out the truth.
Did the same with Geordi's old visor when found in a tub filled with TNG stuff after the ship crashed in Generations and the cleanup crew started to remove it all from the planetm and simply bought some Picard wine and never drank it. He would go through many names over the years changing them from time to time. Working in and out of Starfleet.

That would make a lot of sense. The character has the weight of someone who has lived centuries.
What if he knows it's Sisko's ball but not yet. I mean, Daniels is the one to give him that ball and the one on Sisko's desk was previously owned by Daniels.
I seem to have hit a nerve. Never mind. Continue with the petty bickering.
If you don't like people speculating about Trek on a Trek website, well...
It was used in the Back to the Future cartoon series and in the DeLorean Time Machine Haynes manual, which has material especially written by Bob Gale on Brown's background – confirming he worked on the Manhattan project, for example. Well worth tracking down if you're a BTTF fan and/or you like nerdy fictitious technical manuals.
I think on reflection, just for the lolz, I'd have implied pretty heavily without outright stating it that he was a Time Lord. When he said that he'd lived many years and many lives just for a split second I thought that's what they might be doing.
If he had also said "and worn many faces," that would have nailed it...
Spoiler for the latest series of Doctor Who:
In the first episode, The Doctor implies that they could visit the Star Trek universe.

That particular show has not been of interest to me for a long time. In spoiler tags ofcourse, could you explain?It actually occurs in the episode "Space Babies."
From Den of Geek:
It is, among everything else happening in “Space Babies“, a pretty throwaway line. [The Doctor's new companion] Ruby Sunday notices the TARDIS has landed indoors, and says “Is that like a matter transporter, like in Star Trek?” And the Doctor answers, “We’ve got to visit them one day!”
[...]
In his memoir/stack of emails that got turned into a book, The Writer’s Tale, written with Benjamin Cook, [Doctor Who showrunner Russell T.] Davies writes “I would so love to see the Doctor on board the Starship Enterprise, puncturing all that Starfleet pomposity with his sheer Doctor-ness.”
He goes on to say that “When we began in 2004, Star Trek: Enterprise was still on air, and I told [producer] Julie [Gardner], in all seriousness, that I wanted to do a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover. It was on our list of plans, until Star Trek: Enterprise was axed.”
