Yawn, the point is that a discussion is to be open to possibilities, not to take a crap on others who want to discuss it.

No TV shows or movies have changed. Only the memory associated with them.
Darth Vader telling Luke Skywalker "Luke, I am your father" is a line most movie fans will never forget ... or it would be, if it had ever been said. The line, from The Empire Strikes Back, was never actually said and is the most misquoted line in movie history. A poll asked over 1,500 movie fans to name their top movie misquotes with 17 percent voting for the Star Wars blunder. Real fans will of course know that it was "No, I am your father" delivered by David Prowse in the jaw-drop moment that has been eternally misquoted since its release in 1980. Number two comes from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs where “Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?” has been turned into the “Mirror, mirror on the wall…” (15 per cent). Clint Eastwood’s most quoted one-liner "Do you feel lucky, punk?" got third place with real fans knowing it was "Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?" Casablanca’s "Play it again, Sam" came in fourth place as the line was actually never spoken in the movie where "You played it for her, you can play it for me ... if she can stand it, I can. Play it!" was said. Not that we’re one to argue with Hannibal Lector, but the chilling Silence of the Lambs quote in fifth position is also a lie. "Hello Clarice" was in fact more a "Good evening, Clarice" A spokesperson for Lovefilm.com who commissioned the poll said: “Iconic film lines are part of everyone’s vocabulary these days, but it’s interesting how years of quoting have had a Chinese whisper effect on accuracy. "Like the Vader and Kirk lines, most are only a word or two out, but that’s enough. Robin Williams yelling ‘Gooooood Morning Chelten-ham’, for instance, is definitely not the same thing.” The Top Ten Movie Misquotes were as follows: “Luke, I am your father” – Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) (17%) “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) (15%) “Do you feel lucky, punk?” - Dirty Harry (1971) (13%) “Play it again, Sam” – Casablanca (1942) (12%) “Hello, Clarice” – Silence of the Lambs (1991) (10%) “Beam me up, Scotty!” – Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) (9%)

I have shared my perspective in both this and the original Berenstain thread. I have linked dozens of scientific peer reviewed papers about memory and how it works. I have several memories which are quite vivid and have been completely contradicted by photographic evidence. I chose the correct course and realized my memory was wrong.

it was always, 'No, I am your father'

Surely if there was some sort of time slip, then something like this, a mass misremembering of such well known cultural property would be a good indicator?
If you are someone who's timeline is unaffected, you'd be convinced that everyone else "Has it wrong" when in fact, they could merely be the people for whom something has changed in their time line?
(For the record, I am firmly in the "Luke, I am your father" camp, but I'm not some nerd who has watched it a bazillion times).
