Question: I just saw Contact again (2025) after seeing the original when it came out. I could swear Ellie's nickname her father had for her was 'Starbuck' and not 'Sparks'. Am I wrong on this?

Answer: I saw the original theatrical version, and I only recall hearing him calling her "Sparks," the same as in the DVD and TV versions. Maybe you're confusing this with Scully in The X-Files. Her father nicknamed her "Starbuck."
