Talk:Billy (Starfleet)

Nametag?
You know, its a long shot, but his uniform has a nametag on it in the final episode .. a close screenshot might shed some light on his surname. -- Captain M.K.B. 08:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The costume in question does feature a name tag and it reads 'S. Burke'. Shrantastic 22:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Billy = Menos' guard?
Isn't it way too much of the stretch that that Solomon Burke, Jr. character guarding Menos is actually Billy? -- Capricorn 17:27, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, its a huge stretch. I believe it should be taken out. -Angry Future Romulan 17:53, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is not a huge stretch. Menos was in Starfleet custody before and Billy served in Starfleet. We can see the same actor on this picture, why shouldn't it be Billy? Jones also served aboard the Enterprise-D before he was assigned to Deep Space 9 and was not named on the Enterprise-D. – Tom 07:26, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

If true that's a fair point - but I didn't get that at all from the episode. To me it sounds like Starfleet never heard of him before, and the scene featuring this foto in particular seems to imply it depicts the smuggling ring he infiltrated. Could you explain on what you are basing your assertion?

(and on a sidenote, I was under the impression that we handled cases like Jones differently. See Joseph Carey and his talk page.) -- Capricorn 09:48, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Menos was never in Starfleet custody. They never even knew who he was before the episode. Menos was a Vulcan agent who infiltrated a smuggling ring. It is highly unlikely that it is Billy. -Angry Future Romulan 14:48, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
