The last weeks I have been putting watching the second season of Fringe. I have to say that I think it is quite better than the first, especially the episode "Jacksonville" which I found astounding.
In the season finale, called "Over There", we see (I don't want to give more details, to avoid spoilers) one amazing building in the skyline of New York.
Peter Bishop is taking a ride in helicopter and he focuses his eyes in one special building. The computer guide says then:
"the grand hotel,
Designed by Antonio Gaudi."
After we see again the building from other points of view:
The project for this hotel by Gaudí in New York did exist.
But there was one thing that I disliked: that they called him "Antonio Gaudí".
Gaudí was in fact catalan, and his name was Antoni, not Antonio, which is the spanish version. Even in Wikipedia you can find the correct name.
This may seem an insignificant mistake, but it is not so. Because Gaudí was even in jail for speaking catalan instead of spanish. In September 11, 1924, during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, he refused to speak in spanish to one policeman, and he was carried to jail, although he was 72 years old.
