Yep, the Shat looked good then. As big a fan as I was of ST TOS, I don't want him in the movie, he wouldn't be credible as a Star Fleet officer for me because I have him associated with his character in "Boston Legal" now. Like my friend says, he's "all butterball".

Yes, and Captain Pike made a reappearance in "The Menagerie". Disabled already, though. I thought if they were going for an alternate timeline, they might as well have kept him healthy. But he's still better off than in ST TOS. Oh, and the alternate timeline conveniently let them do away with that confusing "Fleet Captain" rank. Pike bumped up to Admiral.

Edit/Add: My only gripe with the movie was that there were so many 'ad placements' like the Nokia touchscreen phone, the mention of the Budweiser Classic, etc.
At least the Enterprise wasn't running on Microsoft Windows. Then again, maybe blue screen error tong part where dili mo start ang Enterprise.
Waitaminit, Starfleet starships DO run on Windows:
