Why would captain Pike be in the sequal first like he’s in a wheel chair what much can he do in a wheel chair instead of just sitting their. Nothing much. Besides Pike wont have nothing to do in the film like would I want my commander to be put in a wheel chair and still try and fight sometimes unless you make him heal faster.

I agree. Greenwood was awesome as Pike, just as in JFK. He’s the reason I went to see the movie.

I have written two screenplays with Greenwood in mind as the star. The plots are strong, the roles heroic, and no one but Bruce would do.

I just need an agent or producer or Bruce to contact me for copies of the
screenplays.

All performances by the principles were good, but Bruce Greenwood really stole the show in my opinion for the short scenes he had. He was the most believable and the most likeable of all. Just the sort of grizzled vet captain you expect to see on a bridge, and his wry humour was delightful to see. The way he delivered the line “is the parking brake on?” could have been cheesy but it was hilarious and charming the way he said it.

Truly hope the producers bring him back for a mentor/fleet commander type role in future movies. They need a Starfleet heavy, he’s the guy.

81. Closettrekker – May 7, 2009:

“The only time the insignia was ever specific to certain ships, etc. was in TOS (and even then, somewhat inconsistently so).”

Not quite true.

All the ships/stations in ENT also had their own unique insignia. The inconsistencies in TOS was purely a costume issue: they didn’t have the cash nor the time to keep coming up with new patches for minor roles (the Commodore’s adjutant in ‘The Menagerie’ and those bar room blokes in ‘Court Martial’). The actors/extras were just given whatever costumes fit them. However, in the book ‘The Making of Star Trek’, printed office memos from the filming of TOS clearly show that it was the production team’s intention for all the different Starfleet stuff to have their own badges, just as (I assume) Abram’s team made the decision not to bother in order to use the more recognised delta shield as the Star Trek brand logo.

Just saying, is all.

As to the insignia. I admit I always liked the diff insignias for the other ships. But didn’t have a cow when TMP changed it. These things happen. However I must admit this movie has the best possible in built reason for it after all this time. With the way Pike talked about George Kirk and the Kelvin and the Kelvin salt shaker and such…I get a real “Remember the Alamo. Remember the Maine” sort of vibe from it. So it would make perfect sense if Starfleet adopted the Kelvin delta shield. In fact, I really dig that idea.

As for TOS examples of the delta shield on non Enterprise personnel, I already answered you once on that John. Look closer at Menagerie. I didn’t mean the girl who greets Kirk and et al. I meant the one girl in the inner office who stands at attention. And you skipped right over Court Martial.

Remember the Kelvin!

Just between you, me, and the four walls of the Universe, Greenwood was the strongest and most dynamic actor in this movie, and he is the glue who allows us to suspend disbelief in what we are seeing. As I have stated before, he comes across as a formidable central figure just the same way Jetro Gibbs is such an effective leader on “N.C.I.S.” Take any familiarity of Star Trek away, and the novice viewer is immediately convinced that this Captain Pike guy is the key figure holding this film together. All we seem to see in Kirk’s characterization is someone who hope to someday grow up to be half the man George Kirk or Chris Pike are. I think if any Oscars are to be handed out for this film, they should clearly go to Greenwood first, with crumbs but nice ones to go out to all of the other actors, including Nimoy – who all did a remarable job. I honestly can’t say I actually saw a single bad performance in this film, but Greenwood’s presence towers so far above the rest that he clearly deserves first grab at that award.

Looks like I was wrong with my workplace prediction that Pike is going to die in the movie!
Long live Captain “Nowhere Man” PIke!
