James Tiberius Kirk. What did the R stand for in 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'?



Oh, Happy Birthday.

Will Jame Kirk be James's twin sister?

The original Kirk was James Talmadge Kirk. In a short time they realized that just wasn't a glorious enough middle name for a man like Jim, so they changed it to "Tiberius". And Tiberius it is! What a guy, eh? It's good to know that Jim will return in the 23rd Century to once again leap into the breach and provide inspiration and leadership for a suffering humanity.

Jame is the singular. James is the plural. That's not how it is nowadays, but it will be true long before Captain Kirk's birth in 2233. Over the next 200 years, there will be a gradual dropping of final "s" sounds to eliminate any confusion over number distinctions. "Cheese" will become "chee", "nose" will become "no", and "James" will become "Jame".

How comforting that at least the extraterrestrials speak a moderate well-articulated Midwestern American English, and their planets have breathable air through which you can walk upright in your pyjamas.
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

'Where No Man Has Gone Before' was filmed as the second pilot, though transmitted as Episode 3, so the R on Kirk's gravestone predates Talmadge.

Happy birthday to Iowa's favorite native son. When can we hope to celebrate McCoy's birthday?
