The "I told you so" thread...

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.
 
This is the first for me, too. Tucker, I could understand (and still be James T. Kirk), but not Siberius. :p
 
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.
 
I wonder if they actually considered it, or it was just something that spawned on the internet?
 
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.

:brickwall:

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