I am done debating with you on this...
I like how you side stepped this... It proves my point and the reason you didn't like his portrayal is because people who cheat and steal ARE punk ass kids. Maybe it struck to close to home   |
he didn't cheat because what he did was not against the rules.
The test allowed people to prep for the event
everyone else used that to practise on the default setting of the ship
kirk used that time to tweet the ship performance so that it would work best for the people he assigned to the task
that why he got the commendation at the end of the story and not get kicked out for cheating.
(the third act of the book was the "hearing" to see if kirk would get kicked out of school)
the punk ass way the had him do it (let just drop the shield on the enemy) detracts from what makes kirk so great, what makes him worthy of being the youngest star ship captain in starfeet history.
Maybe at the end of the movie his heroics justified him not getting his ass kicked out of star fleet but not only getting his own ship but getting the enterprise
A cheating loser who basically leaps before he looks gets promoted to captain of the star fleet flag ship.
please it was so out of wack solution that it made star fleet look pathetic.
