"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.

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

>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.

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

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