Peter DaviDson? Hmm. The dangers of copying and pasting…
Corrected. Good catch. Honestly, I think I wrote that out myself, as I've been referring to him as "Davidson" for years… which makes it that much worse.
io9 had the same typo, btw.. and still haven't fixed it.
I'm not impressed by io9. That could be because I'm mostly a book person and they seem to be strongly movie/tv.
Kind of goofy, too.
