The boy needs to go out and meet a girl, spend time with the family get pissed, whatever. Spending an entire weekend on this is a little goofy by even the geekiest standards.

Come on, you don't even know the guy. What you say here sounds pretty presumptuous.

It's presumptuous but it's a presumption based on the evidence of his own words:

I have watched the trailers many,many times on hi-fi equipment and you can argue all you like but he definitely says Siberius, not Tiberius.

This has been gnawing away at me for months when I was in bed and I finally decided to do something about it.

I must have played it more than a thousand times and I just could not find the t in James-iberious. I could only detect an S sound.

I am very,very tired now as it took nearly all of my holiday weekend.

I ask others to repeat the analysis to confirm my fears and then we could mail them to JJ Abrams.

Even you commented on the last one.

No offense intended to the OP, but this is a little goofy.

Do you know anyone who spent his entire holiday weekend analyzing a trailer to see if a kid made a "T" or "S" sound, proclaim he's "afraid" of his discovery and then petition people to write JJA about it?

Didn't think so. Look, it's the Internet, all we know about people is what they present to us. For all I know he's physics genius on a football scholarship in an Ivy League college fraternity getting his wiener fluffed by a coed as he writes this stuff, but I doubt it.

I have the number for Geeks Anonymous. They can help overcome such addictions. I have heard this issue raised before. I don't care what anyone says I HEAR A 'T' and I hear JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK. Yeah after almost dying from going over a cliff the kid slurs a little. Most people would.

 

[Carpe Occasio]

You know, some keep mentioning the young Kirk is slurring his words, saying if they almost went over a cliff in a Corvette they would do the same. Or maybe he slurred his words because he was drunk and that's why he was heading for the cliff in the first place. But remember, it's a movie. The movie makers can do whatever they want. They can manipulate whatever they want. So you think they would have cleaned it up a bit so it sounds a little more definitive.

Even more important: Is Siberius even a real word?

Benjamin Worsley (1618 - 1673), the English physician and surveyor-general of Ireland, collaborated - at least for a while - with an alchemist named Johann Siberius Kuffler.

No, but Sibelius is! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Sibelius) ZOMG, JJA made Kirk Finnish!

The thing is, this is the first time I've even heard of this controversy. Since day one, it always sounded like "T" to me. And I've got good hearing, it's part of my job to get it tested once a year.

Benjamin Worsley (1618-1673), the English physician and surveyor-general of Ireland, was - at least for a while - associated with a man named Johann Siberius Kuffler, who was an alchemist, as far as I know.

As far as you know?

C'mon, fess up... don't tell me you didn't do a Google search when you saw my post.

Yeah, I doubt that there are two of us.

It's presumptuous but it's a presumption based on the evidence of his own words:

Nothing he said gives you the right to get personal and assume he 'needs to go out and meet a girl, spend time with the family get pissed'. I find it rather pathetic to insinuate something like that.

Even you commented on the last one.

But I wouldn't dream of pretending to know the guy. Really, it comes off rather ignorant when one has to resort to stupid accusations to get his point across.

No offense intended to the OP, but this is a little goofy.

And your comment was offensive. At least in my opinion.

The whole premise of this thread crosses the line from average trek fan to this:

Touché!

I thought he said "My name is James Rock'n'Roll KirK!" thus explaining the whole "James R. Kirk" tombstone.

Seriously, he says Tiberius according to my ears.

I thought the 'R' was for RocketMan... so cool daddy-o!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. When you put yourself out there in an open forum with your opinions, expect scrutiny based on your comments. As pointed out by someone before you, we only have the words people use to make an assessment about someone and his were pretty telling. The simple fact that I have an account here gives me the right, rookie. I didn't flame him, I suggested that he's gone a little over board and needs to find more constructive uses of his time.

I think you missed the part (several times now) where he states he listened to the clip over a thousand times and was tired because he literally spent the entire Easter weekend trying to prove that a "T" sound was an "S" sound.

Honestly, I didn't even know WTF he was talking about nor did I have any knowledge of said controversy because like most normal I never paid close enough attention and I wouldn't give two shits about it, anyway.

Beyond that, for the record, yes, it is quite bizarre for any adult (or teenager for that matter) to spend that much time and effort over the sound of a consonant in a trailer and to be that fanatical about it.

Even you commented on the last one.

But I wouldn't dream of pretending to know the guy. Really, it comes off rather ignorant when one has to resort to stupid accusations to get his point across.

And the irony of this is that you've extrapolated all of this about me because I suggested that our friend here is spending a little too much time on such an endeavor. Don't you think it's just a tad hypocritical to scold me for doing the exactly what you accuse me of?

No offense intended to the OP, but this is a little goofy.

Who the fuck asked you? Why are you offended? The comments weren't directed at you. And let's go back to rights, shall we? There is no right to not be offended, sorry.

I don't know why you're choosing to get in to a pissing match with me but it's really not necessary and kind of odd for such a new member.
