Just finished watching a re-run of Episode 4, originaly aired 5/10/2006, including segments on focused sound projectors and EMP generators.

Please, somebody get a message to the producers and narrator of this show on two egregious errors:

1. The USS Cole is NOT a "battleship." How can a former NAVY Seal even GLANCE at the picture of the Cole shown in this episode and imagine that it is a "battleship?" Inexcusable, Mack.

2. There is no word in the English language that can correctly be pronounced "NOO-kyoo-ler." If it was pronounced that way, it would be spelled "nucular." But, it's spelled "nuclear." Therefore it must be pronounced "NOO-klee-er." Please, somebody buy 'Hooked on Phonics' for these guys. Just because our President, Howdy Doody, ignorantly says it that way does not make it right.

Futureweapons is a show about leading-edge weapons science and technology. As such, it must adhere to a higher standard of accuracy than, say, the Oprah Winfrey mish-mash, which needs no standards whatsoever because it says nothing factual about anything.

Maybe he was reading from a Teleprompter, LOL.
