[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I think the point was meant to be that the adjudicators said to themselves "Wait, what? He won?! But it's an unwinnable scenario! That's the whole point! How the hell did he DO that?!" Then, when they dicsovered the tampering, no doubt tried to expel him, only for some gruff no-nonsense old-school admiral/Academy chancellor to rule that changing the rules to ensure survival kinda makes sense in some situations. Hence the commendation, which would rather piss off anyone judged to have overall done better than Kirk at the Academy (after all, I don't think there's anything canon to say he particularly excelled during his Academy days, and we know he was a hellraiser and womaniser), hence the protests in the spoilers. That's always been my take on it. It's what the spoilers have happening next that confuses me. Yes, said spoilers may be bullshit, but indulge me. He's given command of a ship to really prove himself? Hmm. Unless it's spmething a bit like ST2:TWOK, an advanced training cruise. Or maybe more like what happened on the [i]Deffie-Valiant[/i] - Kirk is given sort-of command of the [i]Enterprise[/i] while it's still really under the command of Captain Pike, only to have to take command for real when the Ozcredible Hulk attacks and Pike is injured or something (which does rather suck as a plotline, I can feel myself losing the will to live as I type). (actually, such a special-scenario training/testing cruise could explain Lt. Piersall on the [i]Nebbie-Prometheus[/i], you know) From then on, Kirk goes on to have a normal career as a young Starfleet officer (on the [i]Republic[/i] and the [i]Farragut[/i]) for the next ten years or so, until he finally makes Captain for real and is assigned the ship he first briefly served on. So, it's possible and doesn't really go against the canon. [/QB][/QUOTE]
