Star Trek (2009) Vs Star Trek (1969)
It should be mentioned in the article that the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot is set in an alternate universe. Trek purists adhere to the Shatner Kirk born in Iowa. Shatner himself went to Riverside in his "Invasion Iowa" joke TV show. Abrams' Trek is considered by non-purists to be "Trek 90210" specifically designed to attract a new generation of younger fans and strays from accepted Trek canon. The writers have mentioned several times in interviews that they cut some corners in order to get as much into the movie as possible. In this case, in order to show George Kirk Sr. and Winona Kirk, Jim Kirk was born in space and raised in Iowa. This is treated as an in-joke because in ST:IV The Voyage Home, Dr. Taylor says to Admiral Kirk, "You're from outer space." According to Roberto Orci, the new Trek strays from canon as little as possible, but is unfortunately necessary as the original Trek actors are dead or aged.

The interviews are cataloged at trekmovie.com, and come from other resources including magazines and television interviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.49.126 (talk) 16:40, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Future Birthdate, 2233 or 2228?
So the sign says 2228. But everything I've heard says 2233. What year is it? 82.245.57.172 (talk) 20:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Good question. I saw the pic of the plaque on Facebook this morning and discovered that the Wikipedia article on Kirk also says he is born in 2233. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 15:34, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
