New Image Released Showing Harrison With Raised Spinal Ridges

[The Wormhole]

This is a joke thread right?

If be a joke makes it amusing, then yes it is a joke thread.
If taking it seriously is amusing, then it is a very serious thread. Very serious indeed.

I remember spending hours back in the eighties debating who "the other" Yoda mentioned in Empire was. It's inevitable that people are going to speculate about upcoming high-profile movies.

Just as long as people remember they're just theories.

Not to mention the absolutely nutty hoopla surrounding the identity of the final fifth Cylon. I remember reading essays on the internet that read like veritable philosophy texts with all the speculation going on. (I of course knew who it was the whole time and was delightfully proven correct...even though none of the internet "experts" figured it out )

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

If those were really Klingon ridges, they'd continue on and be visible on Harrison's neck. At least if we were talking TMP Klingons (which had ridges much larger than any other version of Klingon).

I do like (but not expect) the idea that Harrison could be Arne Darvin, though.

 

[Ryan8bit]

Those are actually baby Tribbles and they are suckling.

 

[Skywalker]

Clearly he's been infected with Bruce Banner's blood and he's turning into the Abomination.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Ohh, come on, that's nothing more than a tight shirt over a normal human spine! Good grief, the desperation with which people are trying to read spoilers into every inconsequential detail of this film just keeps getting more and more pathetic.

Nope. Those are ridges. He's a Klingon augment who's infiltrated Starfleet.

You'd think they'd have caught that during his first medical.

Not if it was performed by McCoy.

This is creating more speculation on Harrisons character on other forums. My first initial thoughts was that he was Arn Darvin, a Klingon infiltrator but this time a augment with superior strength. And with Kirk and crew chasing him to the Klingon home world just confirms my position that I could be right.

And what do you think these two redshirts are looking at on John Harrisons back? Look at their eye positions.

And people say Big Bang isn't true to life.

I guessed 3 out of the first 4 that were revealed, but, they got me on the 5th. Though, I saw many people who's theories were ultimately correct on that final 5th Cylon, despite the mental gymnastics you had to go through to arrive at that character's identity

Anybody else think the OP just stole Christopher's idea for a villain for his next book?

 

[Squiggy]

This is proof positive that Fistybatch's character is actually a dilophosaurus and Star Trek is really Jurassic Park V.

And about this? April’s Gun?

 

[Robert D. Robot]

Regarding the first photo showing Harrison's back with the obvious Klingon Spine Ridges....
why has no one yet pointed out Kirk's obvious superfluous third nipple, just in front of his right armpit?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

"Fistybach"?

This is creating more speculation on Harrisons character on other forums.

How much more speculation on these unspecified and un-linked other forums, I wonder?

The apparent bumps got one passing mention in another thread here - one - and it may have been less than completely serious. And (until this thread) no one's mentioned thinking that the redshirts were looking at Harrison's back; guy on the right seems to be looking at or past the redshirt next to him, anyway, rather than at Harrison.

I was kinda-sorta half serious... I think...
It is awfully pronounced...
I'm not saying I really believe it's Klingon in nature...
But even with his head slightly tilted forward, his spine shouldn't be that obvious unless he's been starving for a few weeks.

Try it yourself, tilt your head forward and run your hand over your back... the bumps are there but not sticking out that far.
I've worked in a hospital for over 35 years and have only seen that kind of pronounced spinal column, in people with some kind of deformity like scoliosis or folks who are severely under nourished.

I could be waaay off base, but it looks to me like that's specifically there for a reason.

Maybe he's wearing some kind of harness or something to do with picking up his voice during the recording of the movie???

I don't really have a clue, but it is kinda strange.

 

[Therin of Andor]

You'd think they'd have caught that during his first medical.

That's what they said about Mr Norman ("I, Mudd").

 

[DaveyNY]

And about this? April’s Gun?

Is that CumbyKhan or Wellers character with the gun???

The hair looks kinda-sorta funky for CumbyKhan.

[EDIT]
Never mind... it's CK, I went back and took a closer look at the newest pics... he does have funky hair like that.

 

[Ensign_Redshirt]

John Harrison is obviously a cloned Augment/Klingon/Romulan/Borg hybrid.

In addition, he will also be revealed as the "Future Guy" from Star Trek: Enterprise.

 

[Squiggy]

"Fistybach"?

Crumblebum?

Must have been a cold day when that photo was taken.

 

[Franklin]

Kinda like the face on Mars mystery, isn't it?

Believe what you want to believe, but I bet credits to navy beans it's a combination of lighting and the fabric of the shirt accentuating things back there.
