The fate of Cupcake (spoilers)

[Sector 7]

EDIT: The discussion was on the way back to our cars.

I'm glad you said that so we didn't think you were evil.

You know I'm evil, but thanks for the kind words, teacake.

The writer, Roberto Orci, said on another website that "we didn't see Cupcake die"

I think the implication was that he could always be back in the next movie, even though an earlier script (upon which the novelization was based) might have called for his death

Maybe Orci realized Cupcake has become somewhat of a meme among Trekkies...

Why is Cupcake so much less fat in this one.

I didn't even notice it was him this time around. That's probably why.

I noticed right away when Cupcake showed up onscreen. My brother said in the first movie that he looked like me. After that, finding Cupcake is easy.

A better question, why didn't a D-4 take a shot at Khan? He was standing on a raised platform. (I once saw a video where a tank took out a man with a weapon. I would think a Klingon vehicle would attempt the same with Khan. "Boot, Ant")

Since this thread is about Cupcake, perhaps you should start your own thread on your topic.

In addition to being less fat I noticed that Cupcake has lost a little more icing on the top.

Maybe, next film Cupcake can do the "Amazing Shatner Hair Therapy" and regain (Rogaine?) it back.

Why is Cupcake so much less fat in this one.

Literally my first thought when I saw him, too, and I got sidetracked into thinking about that the whole time he was on screen.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Not to worry, the events of STID are merely a setup for the concluding chapter of this trilogy:
JJ-Trek III: The Search For Cupcake

I'd watch that.

 

[Commishsleer]

I was looking around for Cupcake and co the 2nd time I saw STID and couldn't tell whether he was killed or not. They certainly weren't there when Kirk was ineffectively punching Khan. However they could have been lying injured somewhere, maybe.

Look with all respect Cupcake alleged demise may leave room for a female security redshirt and would that be a bad thing?

I'm glad Orci made the comment about us not seeing Cupcake killed, hopefully they'll bring him back next film.

Just show us him and Gaila in a bar together.

Or have you all forgotten about Gaila now that your precious Cupcake's fate is in jeopardy?

 

[The Wormhole]

Maybe he will be like Kelso... dead one time, alive the next.

That was actually Mr. Leslie, killed in Obsession but continued to make regular appearances for the remainder of the second season, and even a few in the third.

Kelso died in Where No Man Has Gone Before and stayed dead.

 

[Kirby]

The next movie is called ST: TSFC. Star Trek: The Search for Cupcake.
Upon returning to Earth, Gaila advises Kirk that they shouldn't have left Cupcake on the planet, and the crew risks everything to go back an save him. Johnny Depp will play Grignak.

 

[Spock/Uhura Fan]

He and Gaila are in Brazil drinking Mai Tais on the beach.

I'm with this.

 

[Tribble puncher]

I'd wager He's a security guy on The Great Kelvin in the sky now....the actor should make some con showings....

 

[Stiletto]

Cupcake, we barely knew ye. Let's hope you survived so you can tell your story.

I like it.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

We never saw him die and we never saw him back on the ship after the battle. I can't say one way or another but I'm leaning to him being alive. no death scene makes that likely IMO.

 

[Commishsleer]

I think we need a Cupcake action figure

I haven't. I've always interpreted her reaction in the assignment scene as meaning she got the Enterprise. Plus, in a deleted scene Kirk actually mistakes another Orion for her and apologises for his behaviour, so I think he was aware she was onboard.

He needs to be our Ice Cream Maker Guy.
