Is Tibererious still Kirk's middle name?

[Jayson]

I don't think I recall anyone calling him James T Kirk in the movie. We know that Kirk's dad didn't really like the name as a first name but I wonder if the change in timeline affected some future discussion they have were they choose to make it a middle name. Granted I think it would have been a funny nod to fans if the Kirk in this universe is named James R Kirk. Nobody but us Trekkers would proably even get the joke but that wouldn't be a bad thing.

He called himself James Tiberius Kirk when he talked to the flying motorcycle cop at the beginning of the movie, and James T. Kirk when he asked for Nero to surrender at the end. Nero also called him James T. Kirk when he said he recognized him from Earth's history.

 

[Diesel Micky Dolenz]

Given that Kirk identified himself as "James Tiberius Kirk" to the police officer from the Corvette chase scene, I think it's safe to assume that Tiberius is still his middle name.

How do we know that is how it is spelled in the divergent timeline?

Because a great deal of research has been done to document it's spelling as "Siberius."

 

[Prons]

Siberius? Not Cyberius?

 

[ManOnTheWave]

In joke.

Wow, people don't pay attention while watching movies anymore. From my experience I guess everyone's busy texting or chasing the too-young child they decided to bring along.

^ Or they can't hear over the people munching popcorn next to them, or are too busy glaring at the person kicking their seat...

I hate cinemas.

I was trying to pay attention butI was still in awe at the awesomness of Captain Robau! Actually the reason I asked is because I recall one scene were he is called James Kirk and the times were he was called James T Kirk I had forgotten. I've only seen the movie once so don't got all the details familiazed yet to the level I do with the shows and other movies.

I find it hard to believe that someone could possibly not have the 'car over the canyon/my name if James Tiberius Kirk' scene burnt into their cerebral cortex.

I do in terms of the visuals. I forgot some of the dialogue though.

To be fair, it's not like it was in the trailers or something...


Oh...

He says "try and give me a parking ticket now sucker".

Everyone knows it's Siberius

I think so! It's amazing how many obvious things people miss.

It's Siberious now

 

[Squiggy]

No.

 

[DarthAkuma]

Wasn't that line in the trailers?
