Captain April

Post by Teaos »

So how do you think they are gonna handle the character of Captain April?

Make him legendary like Kirk or make him a straight arrow as a contrast to Kirk.

Unused material for ENT: In a mirror Darkly, said Archer died one day after the Christining of the Enterprise, so technically he should have known/meet April.

I don't think Robert April is in it.

He'd almost have to be with the given time line.

No, because he's never been referenced in canon. He's not included in the cast.

Was ne never canon-ised? I thought there were several references to him.

There was never any mention of April in a live-action show,IRRC.

Nope......he was kind of an unwritten figure in history, that we all accepted, but unfortunately, no canon evidence of his existence.

I remember seeing a website that used a picture of Gene Roddenberry dressed in a flight suit for April's photo...that's kinda canon, ain't it? :?

Not really. Unless GR explicitly stated that the photo was meant to be of April.

Welcome to the site, by the way. :)

who is Captain April?
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

In some non-canon material, he was the first captain of the E-nil, before Captain Pike.
