The "I told you so" thread...

[darkshadow0001]

I think there was a discussion of this here, but for all of those who thought they changed Kirk's middle name to Siberius, will, you were all wrong It's still Tiberius...

Methinks someone just mis-heard or misquoted the young Kirk from the joyride scene.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Siberius? This is the first I've heard of it.

 

[Captain59]

This is the first for me, too. Tucker, I could understand (and still be James T. Kirk), but not Siberius.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

It's worth a giggle, though...and George thought Tiberius was the worst.

 

[RRO]

I had heard the "Siberius" thing, while standing in line to see the movie. Supposedly, in the early previews the young Kirk says, "I'm James Siberius Kirk". I never noticed it, and it wasn't that way in the movie.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

God, imagine the riot if he actually did say Siberius. The internet would implode.

 

[Captain59]

I wonder if they actually considered it, or it was just something that spawned on the internet?

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I think it's option number 2. No way they would do that, it's too silly. Well, it wouldn't have made this a bad film, but still.....

My "I told you so" is that the viewscreen on the Bridge is a window. I think we need an apology thread just for that.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I never got why exactly that was supposed to be a problem in the first place. So what if it's a window?

Riberius, Tiberius, Siberius, Shmiberius.

 

[cultcross]

Anyone spot the vectoring nacelles, too?

Listen closer. He doesn't say "Siberious". He says "James Tiberious Kirk." The problem is that he drags the S in James and cuts the T in Tiberious short because he's out of breath from climbing up over the cliff edge. He's also still a pre-teen kid, so he might have a bit of a natural lisp.

James Ribonucleic acid Kirk.

 

[Starbreaker]

Please tell me no one actually thought they changed his middle name.

 

[urbandk]

Please tell me no one actually thought they changed his middle name.

A window in place of a viewscreen on the bridge makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

But it only matters to people who want things to make sense.

That window also doubled as a working view screen.
