#0, errata department: Ultra stories

I had occasion to reread Silver Guardian and Code Name: Ultra recently, and in the course of doing so I noticed the same fairly egregious mistake in both of them. When I wrote those two stories, I had somehow acquired the idea that Reflection Nebula Messier 78, location of the Ultras' homeworld, is outside this galaxy. It is not; it's only about 1,350 light years from Sol, and can easily be resolved with consumer-grade telescopes. Eyrie Productions regrets the error.--G.

Don't beat yourself up over it. Even the original material makes that mistake from time to time over the life of the franchise. :)Michael Michael C. Fortner

There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload".

>Don't beat yourself up over it.The correction is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but it is wrong. :) On the other hand, Floyd's line in Code Name: Ultra, "Our Ultra-colleague is getting his ultra-ass ultra-kicked," is even funnier to me now that Ultraman Z exists with his habit of adding "ultra-" to everything. --G.

I have only watched the first episode so far, and you are right about it making that line even funnier.Michael Michael C. Fortner

Kinda reminds me of Kinuhata Saiai’s dialogue in the Index/Railgun stories. She does the same thing.
