at the end of the movie, Kirk is promoted to Captain, and the next scene is on the bridge of the Enterprise, Spock comes aboard and offers his services as First Officer, and then we break into Spock Prime's rendititon of "Space, the final frontier" although he says "..it's on going mission" rather than, "it's five year mission"

How do they rescue Pike and where is he seen at the end of the film?

Pike ...

is ...

rescued by Kirk and Spock from the Narada during the Finale, and are beamed out at the last second.

Pike ends up as an Admiral in a wheelchair (no beeping thing), and is attending Kirk's graduation and assignment as Captain. Kirk also gets his Kobayashi Maru commendation, so that is in keeping with The Wrath Of Khan.

In a nutshell...once Kirk takes command of the ship, the go in pursuit of the Narada. Once Spock and Sarek have had an emotional father son discussion, he rejoins the bridge team and the crew devise a plan to save Earth involving hiding behind Saturn's moons to hide from the Narada. Scotty attempts to beam Spock and Kirk to the Narada cargo hold but instead beams them into the bridge, phaser battle, Spock grabs the Jellyfish and destroys the drill, Kirk finds Pike, and just as Spock's about to collide with the Narada using the Jellyfish (hoping that the red matter will cause a blackhole inside the ship), Scotty beams Spock back to the transporter room, and at the same time beams Kirk and Pike off the Narada. Pike can't walk at this stage and is taken to sickbay. The next time we see him is during Kirk's promotion to Captain, one of the Starfleet Officers then says,
"Captain Kirk, report to Admiral Pike so you can relieve him of his command"

The next line made me LOL a bit.

Kirk walks up to Pike and the exchange goes something like,

Kirk: I relieve you, sir
Pike: I am relieved

Next scene, final bridge scene with the entire original crew all assembled

Great info but when does Kirk in gold shirt say Buckle up and why? Is there another crisis that arises? One other thing. When Nero says Fire Everything", what ship is he firing at and why? Does the Enterprise have any direct hits on the Narada with torpedos or phasers?

No, that's just them leaving spacedock.

Also, another hats off moment to Star Trek VI was when Spock says
"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

I must admit the movie was freaking amazing. Defiantly the best looking Trek movie to date.

While I loved the movie I despise it at the same time. It really did go against a lot of established canon. Being a religious Trekkie I'm know I'm not alone on feeling this way. It does make me wonder what we should now accept as canon, the movie or the original series. And how the movie effects the TNG movies and other series.

Aside from those canon issues this movie was easily the best Trek movie ever made, aside from the wrath of khan, obviously. Heck I'd go as fare to say as its probably one of the best scifi movies made to date. JJ did do a great job. The canon issues do nag me though.

Edit: I do know it's supposed to be an alternate universe... So maybe they plan on a series playing on this, and this is probably how they can get away with the canon issues...

Your thoughts?

I don't think the film really affected the principalities of the Trek Universe as much as some are speculating.

I just got home from seeing it as well. I must say it is...amazing. The canon issues for me are not a big deal. The movie seemed like it just started and it was over. That says something. The Enterprise has never looked better. Everything is BIG-really, really BIG. I love what they did with the characters, they seem real, approachable. I give it a thumbs up. Can't wait to see it again.

Canon or "branding" as some want to call it, is held intact by the dialogue. It is an alternate reality as Spock specifically states. an alternate reality created the moment Nero emerged from the black hole.

Just saw it as well. It worked for me. Loved it. Every moment of it. Can't wait to see it again.
