It really sounded to me like he said "Georgie. It makes that whole corvette scene even more pointless and irrelevant than it already is. And why even bother having some kid trying to "get away" if it's not supposed to be Sam?

I just saw it again tonight too, and he definitely says "Johnny". Shame, I would have liked some acknowledgement of George Kirk Jr.
I presume they cut all references to him to help cement Jim Kirk's character as a rebellious loner, which is probably easier for audiences to swallow if he appears to be an only child. Daneel , May 24, Joined: Dec 30, It served no purpose to rename him Johnny in the new cut.
He didn't even need to be there. So either keep him as Sam and if you get it you get it, if you don't you don't or cut the part out. Aragorn , May 24, Kirk is supposed to have a brother! Never knew that. The crew soon discovers that the planet had been besieged by flying parasites, which soon infect Spock and claim the life of Aurelan.

While the episode doesn't focus too heavily on Kirk's emotions related to the death of his brother, it's one of the rare times fans actually see Kirk's family onscreen.
