Appearently the reason he can't pay the bet is "I keep running into financial trouble around every corner." Hardly surprising if he keeps making, and losing, bets like this! Mind you, 34 and still in college? BTW, Xenu, I'm gutted that you missed my tribute to the arachnoid one in the "Ep 2.1 Speculation" thread!

I heard from "reliable sources" that the BSG season 2 theme tune will be sung by Russell Watson.

Not sure whether you were being serious, or being , but if the former, that doesn't make sense. For starters, Sci Fi broadcasts adverts, so chances are that the running time of the episodes would have been pretty near the mark when they arrived on these shores. If you're suggesting that Sky time compress the episodes so they can run even more adverts than the US, again this doesn't make sense, given the running time of the episodes themselves, and the fact that time compression of this sort would raise the pitch rather than lower it, as well as likely introduce some noticeable visual artifacting due to frame blending/skipping

Lol, I suspect you are turning an unintentional technical glitch into a creative decision there! Exactly, the audio pitch of the entire episode is off. Same is true if you compare episodes 10 and 11. I haven't been keeping a close eye on the broadcasts, but I suspect that the changes in theme key are actually unintentional, and are caused by inconsistent pitch correction applied as a result of frame rate conversion. One imagines that BSG's post work and editing is conducted at 29.97fps, either in NTSC or (hopefully) Hi-def, and conformed to PAL at 25fps for UK consumption. The frame rate conversion will skew the audio pitch, just like cinema films converted to PAL video. It seems like either Sky, or NBC/Universal, haven't applied pitch correction uniformly across the series. The fact that the pitch of the entire episodes are out lends weight to this theory. If the theme was deliberately being transposed, you would expect the rest of the episodes to be consistent.

The paranoia is paramount, Heh, is that Paramount with a small, or large "P"?
