Okay. So. Got a Star Trek question for you all:
( Is this a spoiler? I don't actually know. Very likely, however. That is not the question, btw. )
( Is this a spoiler? I don't actually know. Very likely, however. That is not the question, btw. )
I think of it as like a psych test or even as simple as a personality test.
Hm. That makes a huge amount of sense, particularly what you said about the ability to cheat the test simply by knowing it's purpose. To that end... The simulation has to follow the same basic idea each time, right? The details may get to vary all choose-your-own-adventure style, but in the end rocks fall, everybody dies. Is the experience less valid if you just repeat it enough? Do other cadets occasionally take it over again, or is Kirk just that unique? I know Bones seems surprised at the announcement, but I wonder if it's unheard of.
They still need to know how he'll handle the pressures, etc.
This makes me really want to know what happened the first two times. I almost think they just keep letting him try again out of sheer curiosity. O_o
but I also think that on the other hand it could also be considered perseverance and the inclination to never give up even in the midst of unbeatable odds
Ah, Kirk. Walking that fine line between batshit crazypants and unbelievably awesome, and with style. This is what I love most about this crew. *g*
