Alright so they are making an 11th star trek movie.... I had heard about this over last christmas when I was in barnes & noble and seen a mag with the words "Interview with the new Spock" in big bold black letters....... I dunno, is it necesarily a good idea to go back in the series?

ehh...its a little dried out for me...but the diehards will eat this up

It's supposed to be a relaunch of Kirk, Spock and McCoy at the Star Fleet acadamy. And how Kirk beat the Kobiashi Maru test.

The rumor is that he got a love interest to rig the test for him.

well, according to the older movies. He beat it by changing the program. Made a way to beat the senario.. Wrath of Khan is where he talked about it..

Nah from what I understand it supposed to take place shortly after kirk takes over after Pike
