Biggest disappointment - Kobayashi Maru was a huge let-down. They got the eating the apple right from Wrath of Khan, but totally anticlimatic for one of the defining moments and the climax of Kirk's Academy career. It was something of myth.
There was a book written about how various people took the test and that author had a much more brilliant idea. Instead of just cheating to take down the shields - Kirk reprogrammed the Klingons to recognize him (then a nameless cadet) as a famous commander deserving honor and respect and someone to be absolutely feared (what he would become anyway).
