SlothfulCobra posted:Kirk was originally written as being a turbo nerd in academy. Kirk still is a turbo nerd, even in the prime and JJ universes. It's just that he also successfully functions in social situations, which is a completely foreign concept to most Star Trek nerds.

nine-gear crow posted:Also the key line that a lot of people miss in Star Trek '09 is that Kirk had already taken the Kobayashi Maru test twice already, so the version seen in the film is not his first run through it. The whole reason he's unbearably smug about the whole thing is that he had already had his poo poo pushed in by the test twice legitimately, so him gloating as he goes back and cracks it over his knee through cheating is 100% warranted. Because that's basically how anyone would act upon walking into a test you'd already failed twice and this time knowing that it was literally impossible to lose because you already did the work to beat it before it even began. Which is why Chris Pine as Kirk is the one thing I truly love about the reboot. The other actors range from good to meh, but Pine loving CHANNELED Kirk at every moment.

SlothfulCobra posted:Wesly's initiation tests were pretty in-line with that. There were weird tricks like the guy who hated politeness, and then there was the thing specifically tailored for him where he couldn't save both men and had to deal with letting one die because Picard did that to his dad. That episode owned, especially when the coward just stands up, dusts himself off, and leaves Wesley standing there. drat I love how loving wacky TNG Season 1 was. It still had that Big Goofy '60s energy.

Bootcha posted:"Your next series of tests is to receive and perform testing from Grand Admiral Janeway." That reminds me about the Secret Logs of Mistress Janeway... quote:Commanding Voyager was Kathryn Janeway, an experienced and respected officer with a background in the sciences. She was also a devout hedonist, and unknown to most, leading a double life as the principal dominatrix at The Club, a very exclusive resort. The boorish reader may see only a woman obsessed with her own desires. Given the situation, this judgement is unfair. It is a testament to Janeway's self control and dedication to duty that she waited as long as she did before she began the pursuit of slaves among her own crew. One should also note her absolute discretion and ability to separate her lives as Captain and Mistress. Although she had a fiance, Mark, at the time of her departure, theirs was an open relationship. Would you like to know more? https://www.squidge.org/novad/MJaneway/Stories/MJIntro.html

Admiralty Flag posted:Kobiyashi Maru is an unfair test for cadets for one reason -- at the academy, they don't teach you how to rewire the main deflector dish to emit an inverse graviton pulse, and an inverse graviton pulse can do any sort of bullshit you like, up to and including knocking a pack of Klingon ships out of action. Nope, you've got to learn that on your first cruise. Spock pulled some strings for his protege.

Foxfire_ posted:Isn't it knowing phaser frequency=>free block, knowing shield frequency=>skip shield? That seems to make reasonable sci-fi sense. If you know what exactly their shooting you can block it easily, and if you know how exactly their blocking you can bypass it. That was my understanding, but I'm not up to anything past Voyager tbqh. Did Enterprise, Discovery, or Picard change this?
