      Oh my god that episode was so good. Some of the best sound editing I’ve ever heard too (this is coming from someone who’s done sound editing).

        Sure is. It’s part of a simulation being run where the main character conjures up older Starfleet crewmembers that might help him pass the Kobayashi Meru.

          Also, you get to pick your bridge crew? That’s pretty cool. Mine would be

          Coms - Lt beckett “the fuck did you just say to me?!” Mariner

          Counselor - Cmdr “pass the blunt” Bev Crusher

          Tactical - Cptn “what prime directive?” Janeway

          Medical - the “please turn me off” EMH

          Sciences - Lt of the winter constellations D’vona Tendi

          Helm - Cmdr "I wanna be a real boy!“ Data

          Chief engineer - Cmdr Trip “that vulcan has a phat ass” Tucker

          Ops - Cheif Miles “don’t make me put you in the pattern buffer” O’Brian

          First officer - Cmdr Will “Trombone Longy” Riker

          Designated whipping post - Ensign Harry Kim

              Oh for sure, but if I have to have someone who’s entire duty is ships morale, it’s gonna be the bitty who rolls more joints than Willie Nelson.

          Interesting. I just started watching new trek after finishing Ds9. Loved lower decks, haven’t seen prodigy.

          Hold on let me put on my picky nerd hat. OK, should Odo be part of the Kobayashi Maru since he was never technically a starfleet officer, just a security officer employed by the Bajoran Militia? I could see him at tactical, but helm? OK nerd rant over.

    One time a friend of mine asked if leaving the people behind was an acceptable solution. The TNG-obsessive in the group asked him “wtf is wrong with you?”

      It’s in the Klingon-Federation neutral zone in the classic setup, so I think the solution to maintaining relations with the Klingons would be to go a step further and blow it up, then apologize for the Kobayashi Maru’s crew’s dishonorable actions.
