Her name is Kristin, not Kristen.

[Kreukie]

They misspelled Kristin's name during the new opening credits. I feel it's disrespectful that whoever prepared these credits didn't take the time to double check on the spelling of Kristin's name.

I mean all he had to do was google it. :p

[Lex n' Lana]

I missed that for some reason, but yes that is disrespectful in a big way, she's only one of the three big stars on the show, Idiots, hope they see the error and fix it next week.

[supergurl88]

i didnt even see that

[Kreukie]

I saw it and my mouth was open throughout the credits from the shock that they actually did that.

Because I'm sure Al Gough knows how to correctly spell Kristin's name and I know he seen the credits because he was bragging about them on this site.

[Kris-El]

omg! how could they make such a error?!?! they dont just put stuff on TV without looking do they? seriously, that is crazy! MY name is Kristen, not Kristin and i hate when ppl screw it up. they need to fix that

[Forever Zero]

i just watched that again i cant believe they mispelled that lol.

[aqua]

Good job, credit makers. :) :lol:

[Kreukie]

They won't leave it like that, will they? Because that'll be so bad if they do.

[Lex n' Lana]

I just watched the opening segment again, that is some goof, they will get some "nice" emails about that, blunder of the season so far :rolleyes:

[finchy4]

i think they read fan reactions to their shows, they'll see this and realize they fudged up

[sheltiemom]

Someone will be on the unemployment line !!! If they need proof readers I'm a retired teacher.

[Cori]

I was shocked when I saw that. I'm sure they'll change it by next week's, but you would think somebody would have caught it before it aired. What a silly, embarrassing mistake!

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

Totally disrespectful to Kristin. I hope it's fixed next week

:rotfl:

[the_real_lois_lane]

i noticed it, too. how on earth does something like that get to air? i mean, tonight was the first time they show these new credits and they spell one of the biggest star's name wrong...how careless is that?! so disrespectful...poor kristin :( i hope they change it by next week.....if i only had an email for someone in charge of these things....

[ScrappyTheOwl]

I can't fathom imagine how a production company could screw that up...it's just the same as if they had wrote Smallvile instead of Smallville, but I suppose to a lesser degree.

Another weird thing would be, on the WB's page, how they spell Kirstin's name "Kirsten" below the big picture of her, then right below it they spell her name correctly:

http://thewb.warnerbros.com/web/show.jsp?id=SM

[NotTodayPete]

OMG HER CAREER IS OVER!! HER LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

That's just sad that they screwed that up, doesn't anyone double check stuff like that? Geesh, totally disrespectful to Kristin

[shirkie]

OMG... I... Wow. I wish Lana would drop off a cliff, but for KK to have her name misspelled in the credits? Ridiculous. Simply ridiculous. Maybe next week we'll watch
"SMALVILLE"
starring TOMM WELING
KRISTEN KRUK
MICHEL ROSENCLOWN...

SHAME on them. SHAME SHAME SHAME.
shirkie

[jcmaguire]

Strangely enough though, I know someone that lives in Vancouver that claims to have met her more than once. She told me a long time ago that her real name is Kristen Kreuk and that she just used Kristin for her acting profession.

I don't know if there's any truth to that or not, but if there is, perhaps she's been using her "acting version" all along and decided to go back to Kristen? I do think it's strange that TheWB.com and now the opening credits (which would be a monumental mistake) would both now spell it as Kristen.

[abarsami]

No Lana don't drop off a cliff... at least take a parachute with you so you can fly back when Clark needs some lovin.

[shirkie]

I can't buy the explanation that "Kristen" is the "real" way to spell her name and "Kristin" is the stage name or whatever. I mean, when celebrities use a different name, isn't it like, their middle name usually? Like Ryan Phillippe's real name is Matthew Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon is Laura Jean Reese Witherspoon? Doesn't make sense to me to do that. I hope they fix it soon, though... I feel bad for KK :(

[ProudPenny]

MAN those WB graphic design interns are totally slacking off!

[Xplosive]

Here is a screencap:

[Arista 07]

Well gee that sucks. It's also extremely unprofessional. TheWB.com is full of dead links and misspellings but for her name to appear misspelled in the opening credits of the show? Oh hell no. I'd be ticked if I were her.

[Forever Zero]

Yeah i bet the rest of the crew was laughing at this when they saw it mispelled

[bembol]

The new credits, web site. That is not good.


*Checks Season Four DVD* :D **phew**

[Eh,Man?You-El?]

If Kristin wanted to change her own name around I wish she'd do something about her LAST name! I feel like an idiot every time I try to tell anyone about an episode of Smallville:

"and then Kristin Crook, (oops)... kre-ook... aa... Kru-ick...aaaaa...Kray-uck...AAAAGGH... LANA FREEKING Whats-er-name LANE did ... something... (cripes!) now, I FORGOT what I wanted to say..."

This will make tommorrow at work difficult 'cause whats-er-name did a fantastic job in "Arrival"!

That doesn't make any sense.

In her 10th grade yearbook picture it said Kristin Kreuk.

She wasn't even on Edgemont at the time, let alone acting outside of high school. She didn't start acting in the mainstream until her 12th grade year of High School, when she got the part on Edgemont.

There's also a fan encounter on a Kristin Kreuk fan site where she corrected the spelling of her name on a magazine cover:

And then she was like "they spelled my name wrong!" all giggly and jokingly and she changed the E on the magazine to an I. lol. That was cute.

And here's the picture from her 10th grade yearbook:

[shirkie]

OHhhh look how cute KK looks in that picture!!! Hee!!!!! I look like a defective troll in all my yearbook pics, heh!

All I have to say is I would be PISSED if I were her. Second billing is fantastic, but not if they misspell your name! Gah.

LOL! yeah man, i know what u mean. i dont know how the heck to say it either. i tend to say 'Kru-ick'

awww she looks so cute in her yearbook! and wow, notice the other wacky last names shes grouped with also

they better have corrected her name by next week! I cant get over how careless that is, really. i wonder if Omar G noticed too

[Brainiac_13]

Can we move this thread to the sycophant forum? I mean, for Pete Ross' sake, we have people here who can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're" and nobody says a thing. Misspell an actress' name and OH NOES!

[Kris-El]

oh wow, people use the incorrect form of "your" and "you're" on a message board! we should really say something!

dude, no one bothered to check how the actor's names are spelled while making the new credits? thats just careless, and is worth mentioning. If I were her, I'd be pissed.

lest we mention your completely improper use of the word sychophant....

[Brainiac_13]

It's an embarrassing if minor typo. It's not like it altered reality.

OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised to hear somebody just got fired. ;)

[Kris-El]

well no1 said it altered reality but hey, the opening credits....how often does that happen? I thought it was pretty nuts

[superman_115]

wow, people they make mistakes, everyone is on a deadline.

I am sure they have send apologies to her and with her personality she is not the prissy type of actor who throws a ***** fit.

I didn't even notice it until I watched it again last night.

However, it will be fixed before Mortal I am sure, so why throw such a big fit over it?

[smallville_girlie]

My name is Kristin and everyone spells it Kristen, it drives me crazy!

[Freezeia]

Omg omg omg omg those bastards... How dare they drag Kristen's name through the mud like that! I mean with all Kristen has done they should at least give Kristen the respect she deserves by spelling Kristen's name right in the opening credits when it gets to the character of Lana and they put up the name Kristen Kreuk they should at least be able to spell Kristen right because it's not that hard to spell Kristen the right way, I know, I went with a girl named Kristen and I had no trouble spelling Kristen and as a matter of fact since the creaters seem to pine over Kristen so much you'd think they'd have wrote Kristen's name all over their notebooks like junior high students who have an obsession with a girl named Kristen. GOD!




HAHAHAHA, I couldn't help myself but to do that and but to laugh GREATLY at the people who seem so personally affected by them spelling it KRISTEN in the credits.... hahahahaha oh god...hahahahah this is to much... hahahahahahaha ... oh you people are pathetic...

... okay :\

The point is not who it's affecting, it's merely the fact that it was a careless mistake to make--especially considering how many times this must have been previewed by both the people making it AND Kristin Kreuk Lovers #1 & #2 (Al & Miles).

No reason to freak with the classic repeated "ha"'s and calling people names (pathetic, stupid, whatever) that newbies seem to be so found on EVERY single forum known to man at one point or another--this place is called a DISCUSSION BOARD (or message board or foum) and we are doing exactly what it was made for. We are discussing the issue--it doesn't matter whether any one person thinks it was a careless, funny, stupid, irrelevant, or whatever mistake--all opinions are welcome. If you don't want to discuss the issue itself, why post about how "pathetic" other posters are? Can you see the lack of logic here?

[Superchik92]

I didn't even see that!. That IS messed up. I was busy screaming my lungs out by how cool the new credits looked. Im sure they will do something about it.

[SmallvilleDieHard10]

Ha ha ha ha, I didn't even see that until I looked at K-Site today. I'm sure they will fix that before the next episode and I'm more than sure they will get an ear full from Kristin, lol.

[MuchaLana]

What! you mean there were letters during the gorgeous girls images...:lol:...gees i wonder why i might of missed her named being misspelled.

Cool new intro!

[KryptonSite]

It's just a mistake. Before people start turning THIS one into a debate :P I'm going to close this thread too. Why must Kristin/Lana lovers and haters have to bicker and make fun of each other about everything concerning the girl? Sheesh. :(

[VisionGirl]

Let's not forget - there were two times where these people didn't even MENTION Erica Durance's name in the credits in episodes she was in...

But yeah - year 5 on a show, someone needs to get their act together. KK deserves better.

[midnite_spark]

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

i would be soooo upset with the credit makers!!!! how could they make a mistake like that?!?!!?!!?!? idiots!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

they better make sure its correct next week!

[GhostRider]

Talk about making mountains out of moehills. Someone made a mistake, a simple typo that no one caught. It happens. KK herself probably saw the new intro and if so didn't notice. It's most definitely not disrespectfull to KK, there was no evil intent here. And it'll be fixed for the rest of the season. Sheesh.

I guess ya'll never make mistakes.

[drwood]

This REALLY isnt a big deal...they'll see the error and correct it.

Everyone's a genius after the fact.

[k18]

To be honest, I didn't pay attention to her mispelled name. I was too mesmerized by her beauty.

[drwood]

She's not that hot :). (blasphemy on this site, I know)

[k18]

Uh, dude? She totally is hot! All the actresses on the show are hot, in fact.

[Sk8erGur1]

HOW rude was it of them to spell her name after her being on it four years of the show?

Whew.

I had to check and see if they spelled the Durance's name wrong.

Was this even call for?

I think your post above is a lot more of an over reaction than what most people have made over the fact her name was misspelled.:lol:

[Sk8erGur1]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

omg.

That post was so mean it was hilarious! :lol:

Holy ship. You guys are too funny.

:D you and me both k18, when i first saw it, I was like damn, damn and damn again, makes one want to write a fic LOL

[phoephoe]

I'm sure it will be fixed by the next episode however I was thinking that I am grateful that I am not the one that made the mistake.

[The Source]

Woah. The danger of being a vid editor. That's a very big mistake IMO.

Believe it or not - before shows like that air they are showed in its entirety in a screening room, at least projects I work on do, now I am personally aware of MANY other mistakes on smallville episodes I can write a book on :) But getting credits wrong is very disrespectful - usually all this work gets done in post production/editing now if the director missed this VERY OBVIOUS mistake then I think maybe they might have had a few drinks :D:D:D I work in editing and have done some credit rolls, and yes we are all humans and I have made spelling errors, stupid ones, but I always fully double check the work and make sure the corrections are done - also, the network view EACH and EVERY episode before it is aired, they missed that one too :)

At least they spelled her last name correctly (Kreuk) LOL

[cmgames]

Lack of attention to detail. Just another glaring example of what is SV's downfall.

[Kris-El]

its quite a glaring error though....i mean, its the opening credits where the names are printed in giant block letters. i wuz just shocked no1 noticed

[k18]

I really didn't notice it. I was looking at the scenes behind her to see what shots they used in the opening. I didn't see her name until someone pointed it out here in the forum. It's not that big of a deal. I'm sure they apologized to Kristin and had it fixed. It wasn't disrespectful on purpose, just an error that's all. Everyone makes mistakes.

[Kris-El]

not the fans, i mean the people who *should* have noticed it. of course its not that big of a deal and def no disrespect to KK, but i was shocked all the same

its a big enough deal to say we didnt like that happened, bet it will be fixed next week and the rerun ep as well. I missed it the first time because i was staring at KK and that great top she had on, nice boob profile ;)

[luthorcorp]

hahhaahha when me and my bother saw it we just laughed


gutted!!!! KK

[JerryKing]

Hopefully this was a not-exactly-subtle reference to Kreuk's upcoming importance and prominence in this new season.

[Lex n' Lana]

I highly doubt that!

[steviemo]

its not like I 'noticed'
but when I saw the new title screen I was like wow - new intros and everything, but when I saw KK's intro I was like "hmm something doesn't feel right" but I couldn't point out what.

[supermanover21]

How could they get it wrong after 4 years? That's incredibly bizarre. It happens, though.



I don't really like the new openning credits. The look isn't as good as the last 4 seasons. I liked the way the words would come on screen, with that glow. And the video of the actors, turning and all that, looks like the profile of a video game character.

[montevallo]

they got it right this time :D

:D yes they did, woo hoo!!!
