Now, if they're really going with the spelling "Ferrell," that would be interesting. But I think it's too early to call, and we should wait for a future credit or promotional media.

You see, credits exist for legal reasons, which means it's very much in the production's interest to make sure they're done right, which means the details and spellings are usually right.

But closed captions are a different matter. That's more like a translation&mdash;except instead of to another language, it's to another communications medium (text captions) to accommodate the deaf. And since most of the intended audience will never see it anyway, it is my understanding that closed captions are routinely outsourced on the cheap. As such, not only does dialogue not always perfectly match, but spellings can vary wildly. This makes closed captioning a famously unreliable source for spellings.

And the 2012 TV series has certainly messed up spellings in closed captions before. (The "Falchi Twins," anyone?)
