Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I ran a story a few days back about Kirk and the Kobayashi Maru test that features in JJ Abrams' STAR TREK. It was about how Kirk cheated his way out of a no-win situation (in this case he used his sexual man-charms on a lovely cadet and got her to alter the programming).
It was a rumor from an untested source, but a regular source quickly followed up the story with a confirmation. Not only that, but I also got a quicky review of the complete script, which I've cut and pasted below. It's decidedly mixed. Below that I'll return with another bit from yet another proven source regarding a piece of footage shot recently...

With all the younger people playing Kirk, Scotty, Bones, where is the younger Spock. How is Leonard Nimoy going to fit in? Also, it’s nice to see Jennifer Morrison in the cast, albeit a smaller role. She’s a sweety. Love her on “House”.

It was about how Kirk cheated his way out of a no-win situation (in this case he used his sexual man-charms on a lovely cadet and got her to alter the programming)
Isn't that similar to what happens in 3/4 of the TV episodes? The Enterprise crew gets in trouble, Kirk either 'cheats' his way out or finds a female who's crushing on him and gets her to help them out, the crew goes on their way and the alien of the week is left enlightened, and everyone lives happily ever after.
Although I'm really looking forward to seeing Zachary Quinto as Spock. After seeing him in the latest season of Heroes, I think he'll do well.
