In Star Trek, the idea of the test was to teach the Captain that not every situation was winnable, and he or she must learn to accept that, and keep a level head even in the face of death.
Of course, that doesn't work so well in Mass Effect 3. Because as we always see, Shepard finds that way out that everyone sees as impossible. The route that no one else even thinks of. Hence why his or her crew will follow them to the gates of hell.
Suddenly Shepard is confronted with the ultimate no-win situation. A shiny Starchild giving them 3 non-negotiable ways to end the cycle, with little or no chance of survival. You would expect Shepard to react to this, look for the 4th way out, the impossible way out, and speak out. But through either severe blood loss or hallucination, Shepard goes along and finally completes the Kobayashi Maru run.
A shame really, Shepard should have done what Kirk did. Hacked the computer so that he could win.
What does the ending choice make you think of Sci-fi wise?
