OT - Star Trek vs The OK Corral
I just watched Tombstone for the first time the other day, and it brought back all of the old questions I've had of the battle at the OK Corral. Now, according to the ST TOS episode "Spectre of the Gun", Billy Clanton didn't die. That's what caused Spock to realize someone was playing mind games and was able to defeat the Mentrons (?). However, in every movie version of the OK corral gunfight, Billy Clanton ends up dead. Heck, they even have Ike Clanton getting shot, and Tombstone and the extras on the dvd confirmed that he didn't even get a scratch. I know Hollywood likes to play loose with the facts so a good story can be told, but does anyone know the true fate of Billy Clanton. As far as I could tell from this movie, there were at least 3 guys names Billy in the Clanton gang. Maybe the screenwriter for the ST episode got confuse as to which Billy he was referring to.

Wikipedia has something. Don't know what.

Re: OT - Star Trek vs The OK Corral
Star Trek can't even get it's own history right half the time, don't expect it to have a lot of accuracy related to real world events.

Re: OT - Star Trek vs The OK Corral
Star trek's history is inconsistent because of Temporal incursions. Aliens are changing history so much you can't be sure of anything. Enterprise is hypothesised to be a new timeline because of the temporal war, and in Voyager they have an epsiode warning of the Krenim but when they do meet them they've forgotten what they had learned. This is explicit since the Krenim are actively changing history (I like them so much I am playing them in a game)
