Maybe this has been mentioned before. And it's not that I want to nitpick or something, but I was wondering something. In trek XI, shouldn't Robert April have been the first captain of the Enterprise instead of Pike?
Robert April
- Thread starter EnsignYoshi
- Start date
On the one hand, Greenwood playing April would make more sense, given Greenwood's age.
On the other hand, I would have been disappointed if Pike wasn't in this.

It's been mentioned before. Oh, my - how it's been mentioned before. Here are a couple of threads with his name in the title:

A forum search will turn up dozens or possibly hundreds more containing at least passing discussion of Robert April and his place (or lack thereof) as first captain of the Enterprise. Here's one where someone says he should be played by Tom Hanks (or was that Harry Mudd?), for example. Others suggest William Shatner could play him.
Suffice it to say that there has never been any great lack of mention of Robert April. He's always gotten plenty of play here, but he simply was not part of the story told by this year's movie.
See also: Gary Mitchell, Finnegan, Carol Marcus, Ben Finney, Captain Garrovick, etc.
Plus April's existance in canon is still up for debate.
That was the (or lack thereof) part.
ALTERNATE REALITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lieutenant Robert April never made it off the Kelvin.
April is an apocryphal character.
Hey, if we have "canon" then we have apocrypha.
Perhaps at some point in the future the new creative team will choose to canonize him for the first time. Or not.

I only use this emoticon about once a month, but
Going down!If Nero hadn't happened and the much smaller Enterprise has been launched in 2245. However, because of Nero, it was enlarged, redesigned, and moved causing it to be delayed 13 years. Basically, its a completely different ship with a completely different history than the one in TOS.
Lieutenant April died on the Kelvin. Oops.
No. As his review showed, Roger Ebert was definitely awake still by this point in the trail... movie and that was clearly the Grand Canyon mistakely put in Iowa by the film makers.
Robert April breathed his last under the twisted wreckage of a classic sports car at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, whispering, "Oh my," before expiring. Take that Generations. No lame-o Kirk death this time around.
