Kirk eating apple (spoiler)

[Balrog]

Seemed like a nice little homage to TWOK. Kirk eating an apple while the Kobayashi Maru test is going on. It harkens back to when Saavik finally learns the truth about how Kirk beat the "No-Win Scenario" in the Genesis cave.

"I don't like to lose." <munch!>

I loved and noticed that tip of the hat, too. J.J. may not be a TREK nut or hardcore afficionado but he knows the right strings to pull.

I was half expecting him to look up at the instructors observing and say, "I don't like to lose." at the end.

And whip out a soapbox-sized communicator.

It also nicely foreshadows his future role as captain of the Appleprise.

If only he had been eating an enchilada with a sombrero hanging from the back of his chair.
