    I’m pretty sure the person editing the episode simply copy/pasted the same time card that was used for “Our Decay”. They’re exactly the same words and placement. They probably overlooked the “Many Years Ago” part, for whatever reason.

    FYI it seems that they know of the mistake and it will not be in the episode.

    So it sounds like it was somebody in the ABC press department that made this mistake. The good thing is that it looks like this error won’t be on the aired version.

    What’s interesting as well is that, since this error was picked up by a lot of fans and Adam seemingly spent a good chunk of time responding about this, then perhaps A&E will realise they’ve got to be more careful timeline wise because fans will pick up on any mistakes.

    Wow. But one of those posters makes a good point, someone (not A and E) thought it was okay to go in and edit the work before sending it out?? Like without consulting with showrunners?

    I sympathize with Adam. Version control on team projects, keeping incremental backups just in case while also keeping everybody current — it’s a challenge.

    Here’s the sneak peek with the updated title card. It still annoys me though since it should have only been a few weeks ago.

    “Some time ago” works well enough for me, as it simply means that the event happened in the past tense. I’ll take it over “many years ago”, which was flat out wrong.

    “Some time ago….”

    Because the writers really have no idea and no concept of their own timeline. I mean, yeah it’s better than “many years ago” but lately the title cards seem generalized out of ignorance instead of anything else

    “Some time ago…” feels to me like a 4th grader writing an essay about something in history and he doesn’t know the specific time so he writes “some time ago”.
