That's the other thing I didn't like, the way he acted during the Kobayashi Maru.  Did he really need to sit there eating an apple acting like it was nothing?  They could've at least had him pretend like he didn't know what was going on.

 

Uh...

[THINKS]

... never mind...

What?  Were you thinking back to that scene and realizing how lame it was or were you thinking back to it and recalling something I missed?  In all honesty, when I was watching it, all I could think of was "Arrogant much?"  It was his third time taking the test, we're informed that nobody takes it even twice, and there he is acting like everything's hunkey dorey.  I guess I should've said that they could've at least make him look like he didn't know what was going to happen, when it's obvious he clearly did.  At least that way it wouldn't have been so obvious that he cheated too.

 

 

I believe the scene in its current form is meant to incorporate elements of this concept in order to illicit a formed reaction of this substance from the audience.

 

Indeed... you make a good point, PaulisDead2221...

I think the key thing is that Kirk doen't CARE if they catch him for changing the program... all he wants is to win and look like he did it without even breaking a sweat... I'm afraid Kirk IS arrogant, lordjedi... at least in this incarnation... and isn't Kirk eating an apple while McCoy's telling the story in 'Wrath Of Kahn'...?
