*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR epitath! *** I know this sounds crazy, but I watched "Where No Man Has Gone Before" a couple of days ago and I could have sworn that the headstone to Kirk's "grave" did not read James T. Kirk; I thought it had another middle initial (possibly R). I never got a good long look at the stone, however. Any comments or verification?

I tried recording it, and stopping the action at that spot. I STILL coulnd't read it. It did say James Kirk, and it DID give a date (other than a stardate), but that's as far as I ever got... -- --- Rob DeMillo Madison Academic Computer Center ...seismo!uwvax!uwmacc!demillo "...That's enough, that's enough!

In one or two of them you can see that the initial is "R". (At least on Beta - let's not start an argument about B vs. VHS.) Apparently they decided on Tiberius later, "Where No Man..." being a pilot. sb

Actually, I think Tiberius wasn't coined until after the end of the live action series. I do know that D. C. Fontana suggested the name and I do know that David Gerrold used it in his animated Star Trek episode BEM.
