Two episodes into Battlestar Galactica prequel series Caprica and I’m quite enjoying it, especially Esai Morales’s performance as Joseph Adama (magnetic and growly and totally convincing, rather like Edward James Olmos as his son William in the original show – great casting!).
However, the second episode contained these two spelling howlers:
As a pedantic sub-editor and grammar Nazi, I think I understand now why the Cylons decided to nuke the planet.
Presumably they sacked the designers and outsourced page-layout to a call centre in Bangalore in the way the rest of the US press have…
Probably Tauron.
So, when it comes to the printed word, the colonials have been cutting corners in more ways than one..?
Oh, very good. *applause*

Jayne, tell me you weren’t sat there going through on freezeframe, checking the spelling….
Nope, spotted them both without the freeze frame. And when you see how fleetingly the newspaper headline was on the screen, YOU WILL BE IN AWE OF MY EAGLE EYES.
Are they like these?
Yes! How did you know?
I wanted that Action Man so much when I was a kid, and all I got were sodding Barbies.
Just giving away my age – it was the first thing that came into my head when I read your post…
And yes, I had one
I’d have given anything for that wind-up Evel Knievel stunt motorbike and action figure. Never, ever got one. The boy next door had one though, just to rub salt in the wounds. AND he had the Six Million Dollar Man action figure, which I also coveted.
I wanted Evel Knievel too. What did I get? A Twinkle annual. Being a little girl in the 70s sucked ass.
Yup. I had both of those
Though to be fair both were passed down from my brother.
What I really wish I’d kept though was my Space 1999 Eagles….
