What is your personal head canon?

Who got sober (well, mostly so, he does have a decanter of liquor in his makeshift home) and a whole lot more mature over about 150 years in isolation.
 
I always liked it growing up, but in retrospect the science and gender assumptions it makes are just plain weird in 2025/6. But I have no problem retrospectively seeing Cochrane as a rejuvenated James Cromwell.
What do you think of him in the role of Sir John Jellicoe at Jutland around the time he was filming Babe?.

Cromwell gave us one of the top ten cinematic 20th-century-shocks when he wasted Kevin Spacey in L.A..CONFIDENTIAL. That moment was not in the novel. Imagine an entire theater of people gasping in unison on opening night.

He also was married at one point to an unlikely yeoman just before or during his BABE period.
 
The Akira class starship is in universe named for a planet. This planet is a time capsule planet like Hysperia, Caldos and Dorvan with a colony emulating traditional Japanese culture.
 
I am not a fan of head canon. However, I did try to justify the look of the NX-01 bridge controls compared to the controls on the NCC-1701. The NX-01 was an Earth ship designed to be operated by humans. The NCC-1701 was a Federation ship designed to be operated by various species, some that were not humanoid (we know we didn’t see non-humanoid aliens due to real world budget restrictions). This is why the NCC-1701 and other ships of that era had the ‘jelly bean’ buttons and controls.
 
I've decided that the "Sato Atrium" seen in Starfleet Academy is named after Delacort Sato of "The Last Starship" comic book rather than Hoshi. No disrespect meant to Hoshi at all, and she would certainly be a remembered historical figure given she essentially perfected the universal translator, but I just want some of the references to be from places other than the 22nd 23rd or 24th centuries.
 
Or perhaps just the family, in acknowledgement of their dedication to the establishment (like how donors get things named after them today, but sans money, a legacy of multigenerational service would qualify).
