LOOK at the new Enterprise from the upcoming Star Trek XI:



I think I'm getting a lil choked up.  That's just BEAUTIFUL.

Between the remastered TOS, the DS9 novel relauch, and the upcoming movie, its never been a better time to be a Trek fan.

He did cheat on the Maru, yes. But it was never implied that Kirk was DUMB. That's where the retcon comes in. Rather then saying he was a clever guy who may have taken a couple shortcuts, he's now going to be a garden-variety mouthbreather who NEEDED to cheat (and this is the key point which I guess I kind of made confusion) all throughout Starfleet Academy. Stubborn, self-centered, abrasive, defiant ... all these things describe Kirk. But dumb ... no.
