I would almost do it, but I'm not sure the del.icio.us tag stream is a good-enough sample methodology. XD
Well, to be fair it was less than 24 hours between him meeting Spock for the first time and Spock marooning him on an ice planet, I thought he was doing okay. XD; I was actually more thinking of Kirk vs McCoy, Uhura et al. Part of this is passive characterisation due to Plot i.e. what else would you have him do but recognize and trust Uhura's or Scotty's skillz but in real life that doesn't necessarily happen when you get someone with a freakish lack of self-doubt like that. You'd be lucky enough that the outward act isn't a cover for an inner lack of confidence that builds on belittling others.
All this is assuming he's smart and competent, too. And yeah, the narrative arc is such that I would expect him to fall spectacularly on his face next movie. XD
