Talk:William Lennox
Can we delete this article? We generally go by the full names of principal human characters on this wiki. Josh Duhamel has said (IIRC) that his character's name is William Lennox, but until we get something more official... --FFN 08:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Deletion hardly seems like the appropriate response. Putting the article on-notice that it's going to be moved as soon as we know his full name seems better. -Derik 09:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, yeah, I meant moving it to whatever his full name will be. --FFN 10:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Hm. I wonder if there's a need for a standard "moving" template... this seems a rare occurrence, but since sequels are almost inevitable... if so, I demand the image in the box be Movor. Hmm, we could clip him out of this image... --M Sipher 14:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- If we're doing a Move template, we probably want a Merge Into and a Merge 50/50 template. Any ideas for that?-Derik 18:51, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Merge 50/50 --ItsWalky 19:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Heh -Derik 19:50, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Military branch
Which military branch is Lennox from? In the credits his men are US Army Rangers, Epps is from the air force, and I noted an airborne patch on Lennox's BDU. Does he command some sort of mixed multi-force unit? Or am I missing something? --FFN 19:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think they're supposed to be an Army unit, with Epps as an embedded Air Force Combat Air Controller. --KilMichaelMcC 19:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- What Kil says makes sense. I don't know what Air Force BDUs look like, but I've been told by others after their repeat viewings of the movie that you can see an Army tape on Lennox's shirt. Keller definitely mentions "the Rangers" at one point, so if that's what Lennox's men are listed as in the credits... -Rotty 20:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- I can't speak for Fig or the rest of the team, because their actual combat gear is tuned towards practicality over inter-service discrimination, but when wearing normal everyday fatigues, Lennox wears an Army uniform and Epps an Air Force uniform. Apparently the team is to an extent mixed-service. The Colonol of SOCCENT is an Army Colonol, also. --Sntint 03:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- On Colonel Sharp's BDU shirt, the name tape says Marines. You can go catch a matinee if you're not convinced. :) -Rotty 04:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- No, I just forgot you'd told me that. I remember the conversation now; the lighting in the Ops room makes it difficult to determine the color of his BDUs. The majority of the services are switching over to that "digital" pattern (we start getting ours this fall!), and the only major differentiation aside from insignia is the color scheme. Not that I won't see the movie again anyway. --Sntint 04:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
