I grew up next to Glasgow University, where there’s a big bronze statue of Kelvin on Kelvin Way. I don’t think I ever realised how much he looks like the old neighbour in Home Alone.
Additional Kelvin fact, weirdly, he took his title from the river and area of Glasgow, not the other way around. So a whole timeline in Star Trek is vicariously named for the river that flowed past the end of my road for 22 years.

The Kelvin picture should have been from Star Trek '09.

I mean I kinda get the Kelvin Timeline and the Imperial pun, but why is Gandalf Celsius?
