Battlestar Galactica
I'm in the middle of season 2 of the newer series of Battlestar Galactica and I'm trying to avoid spoilers.

In the show, there's a picture that the Viper pilots all touch on their way out of the briefing room before they go into a battle. It's also hanging in the background of various other scenes. It looks like a person kneeling on the ground to me but I can't quite tell. What is this a picture of? And like I said, I'm trying to avoid spoilers, so please keep that in mind. Thanks, Dismas |(talk) 00:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you give me an episode and time where they touch the picture? I'll loaded it up on Netflix and see if I can remember.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:30, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * See the entry for the image on BattleStarWiki, it references Series 1 Episode 1 so shouldn't spoil anything for you. Nanonic (talk) 00:45, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks!  That's what I figured it was but wasn't sure.  And now that I see that the scene that explains it was cut from one of the episodes, it's not surprising that I didn't know.  Thanks again, Dismas |(talk) 01:05, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * One word of warning. The ending sucks ass.  Skip the final 45 minutes of the series finale.  Trust me, you'll be a happier person.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 01:09, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I thought the series ending was excellent and nicely rounded off a great show. But this is not a forum, so I'll shut up now.  Astronaut (talk) 13:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I also disagree. I think it was as strong a ending as could be expected.
 * Obviously, the joy in a show like Battlestar is more in the premise than the resolution, so those first couple episodes will always be my favorites, but I'm happy with how the series ended. APL (talk) 05:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Radio theme music - Journey into Fear
I'm listening to the BBC Radio 7 series of Eric Ambler's Journey into Fear. I would like to know who wrote the theme music, and if it as been used for anything else. DuncanHill (talk) 01:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Can't help, Duncan, sorry. It sounds like the sort of theme tune that's specially composed for a series and never used again.  But I could be completely wrong.  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  08:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it reminds me of something but I can't quite remember what. DuncanHill (talk) 23:15, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
