Sarah Mears is indeed a mistake (mine, and I don't know how I made it).
The others are all typos, one of which has already been corrected after I pointed it out to the sub-editor, who then pointed it out to the editors. I think 'climatic' is right though, isn't it? At least I've always used climatic rather than climactic.
Thanks for spotting my errors. Oops.

A climatic battle-scene would be one with lots of weather! Climactic is the correct word and actually appears elsewhere in the entry.
Don't worry about the typos; everybody makes a few. Just about every entry to hit the front page has a few typos to be corrected.

I suppose I could claim it was raining cats and dogs during the battle scene, but then someone else from the cast, crew or audience would come along and tell you I lied! Thanks for that nugget, I'd never considered there being an adjective for things involving lots of weather.
At least I didn't misuse any apostrophes. I hope. That's always something I find very annoying.

Many thanks. The entry was a pleasure to write, as I truly enjoyed my association with the show, and was fascinated to find out more about it and the events it's based on.
