Though J.J Abrams has given up some details about Star Trek XI, some key elements are still ‘officially’ unknown.
HOWEVER – since we know this will include the early days of Kirk before he takes command of NCC-1701 – ShowMeSciFi.com is going to go out on a limb and state:
“In Star Trek XI we will finally see James T. Kirk take the Kobayahsi Maru test at Starfleet Academy.”
For years, we the fans have wondered exactly what Kirk did to pass that critical Starfleet examination (we know he ‘cheated’ or changed the rules as he says) – it will be MONUMENTAL to finally see the actual scene. The Kobayashi Maru is a defining test in a Starfleet officer’s career , presenting trainees with an impossible scenario and seeing how they respond.
As a refresher check out the first theatrical mention of the Kobayashi Maru in a STar Trek movie.
Fantastic! I can’t wait to see how this unfolds…Kirk’s solution.
