Those extra loud beeps have been driving me nuts as well. I'm watching the episode while listening to the podcast, so I should know when a beep's coming up. But it still catches me off-guard almost every time. Glad you posted about this! Those extra loud beeps have been driving me nuts as well.

Let's see if we can harness The Power of Blog for good, instead of evil... Oh, wait. I haven't tried to harness it for evil yet...

If you think it's bad blasting in your car, imagine me sitting at my computer calmly working away, listening to Moore's comments, then AAAAURRRRHGHGHGHHH!!! I jam on the mute key of my keyboard, but it's usually too late. By then, I'm already stuck in a catatonic gaze and have to wait until it wears off. I love BSG and I agree that these podcasts are somewhat groundbreaking in that they're released just as the corresponding episode is about to air (with a few exceptions). My problem is that I (and I suspect most others) don't actually listen to the podcast while watching the episode. I usually listen to it sometime later, remembering in my mind what was on screen and when. Maybe if I actually listened to it simultaneously, that frackin' beep wouldn't seem so disturbing. Then again, could it be some super-subliminal signal to activate Cylons lying in wait to destroy us all? That would be cool! Um, no wait. What?

I keep picturing the poor soul who is listening along on their home theatre system - volume cranked up, dolby surround sound, podcast feed mixed with the episode audio. Then BEEEEEEEP! All windows in their house blow out simultaneously. Dogs go nuts for 3 blocks in any direction. Car alarms go off for no apparent reason. Plaster cracks... You might be onto something with the cylon superliminal signal, though. Six still hasn't shown up yet, though. Dammit. BEEEEEEP! Heh.
