What happens to Cupcake (No spoilers)

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Dudes, Cupcake is Gary Mitchell!

 

[Michael]

Five minutes after they beam onto Nero's ship, Kirk will ask Cupcake, "Hey, what's your name, anyway?" Cupcake will start to respond, "Finne--" and then get killed.

I've got a better idea. Not Finnegan, but...

Spoiler: remember in

"The Apple" when Kirk tells that it was (just blown up by exploding rock) redshirt Mallory's father who helped him get into the Academy? Well, if this bar fight is what brings Kirk to Pike's attention, and leads Pike to challenge him to join up and to complete his Academy studies in less than the usual four years, then wouldn't Cupcake, by being an aggressor and fight participant, have helped Kirk get in? Might Cupcake's full name actually be Midshipman Cupcake J. Mallory?

Eww, don't tell Mallory.

 

[Sector 7]

Guy: I changed my mind. I wanna go back.
Sir Alexander Dane: After the fuss you made about getting left behind?
Guy: Yeah, but that's when I thought I was the crewman that stays on the ship, and something is up there, and it kills me. But now I'm thinking I'm the guy who gets killed by some monster five minutes after we land on the planet.
Jason Nesmith: You're not gonna die on the planet, Guy.
Guy: I'm not? Then what's my last name?
Jason Nesmith: It's, uh, uh - -I don't know.
Guy: Nobody knows. Do you know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name, because I'm gonna die five minutes in.
Gwen DeMarco: Guy, you have a last name.
Guy: DO I? DO I? For all you know, I'm "Crewman Number Six"! Mommy... mommy...
Sir Alexander Dane: Are we there yet?

Guy was the ultimate redshirt! At the end he's the Security Chief... 'nuff said!
I still think of Galaxy Quest as a Star Trek movie.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Dudes, Cupcake is Gary Mitchell!

I dig it.

I totally dig it.

 

[shapeshifter]

Cupcake is a Klingon agent.

That's who Cupcake reminded me of! Yep, he is a deserter.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

What I love is that the guy who antagonizes Kirk in the bar turns out to be a redshirt!

Just proves that you shouldn't screw around with James T. Kirk.

Cupcake does set a precedent:

"Oh yeah, Mrs. Crater? Well, there are four of us and only one of you!"
"Oh yeah, vampire cloud? Well, there are four of us and only one of you!"

...and so on...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Interesting that one of the guys who beats the shit out of Kirk ends up serving with him. That's gotta make for some very awkward personnel evaluations.

 

[pookha]

maybe cupcake later on traines kirk into how to fight.
he could even be the instructor in charlie x

 

[gaghyogi49]

He travelled back in time and and became http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Jason_Matthew_Smith.

 

[cubbie]

Cupcake signed a contract to appear in 3 Star Trek film, only to find out he is killed in all 3.

 

[pookha]

cupcakes fate involved crumbs

 

[Messianni]

cupcakes fate involved crumbs

"And that's the way the redshirt crumbles..."

 

[cubbie]

Cupcake takes a licking and then stops ticking

 

[Classic Fan]

Cupcake becomes the ultimate indestructible Red shirt. Survives all manner of incedents, stabbing, salt vampire deaths, strangulation, mutilation, radiation burns, Kirks famous One-punch=death, nerve pinches, bad reviews... The list is endless.


He becomes the Kenny McCormack of nuTrek.

 

[The Academic]

Cupcake becomes the ultimate indestructible Red Shirt. Survives all manner of incedents, stabbing, salt vampire deaths, strangulation, mutilation, radiation burns, Kirk's famous one-punch=death, nerve pinches, bad reviews... The list is endless.

He's going to prove that there are Red Shirts out there who can actually survive a tour-of-duty on the U.S.S. Enterprise... and that Star Trek is neither formulaic nor cliched.

He becomes the Kenny McCormack of nuTrek.

He becomes the Jason Statham/The Transporter's Frank Martin/Crank's Chev Chelios of nuTrek.

 

[Roshi]

Kenny Cupcake!

 

[shapeshifter]

"You bastards!"

 

[pookha]

cupcake if he survives will become out of date and moldy.

 

[DaveyNY]

Cupcakes mom is Betty Crocker.
His dad is the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
And he uses Crisco to slick his beard.



That makes him Lt. Cupcake Crocker.

Just wait till Kirk pokes him in the belly and then calls him Fat-in-the-Can.

BTW: Captain Robau loves Lt. Cupcake for his Sprinkles.

 

[Aragorn]

You laugh, but when this movie sends the actor playing Cupcake through the stratosphere, the next movie will be called The Chronicles of Cupcake. And then they'll reprint the Star Trek DVDs to say The Chronicles of Cupcake: Star Trek.
