- I don't watch the Sci-Fi channel, and I only watch USA to catch QL
- re-runs, but something I've started to notice the past couple weeks,
- and my wife agreed with me that she sees also, is that certain parts
- of QL seem to be "speeded up." Although it seems to happen only at times
- when the action is moving fast, it is very noticeable, and I was wondering
- if anybody else had noticed it. I've never seen any other station pull
- a stunt like that (although I know that radio stations do some magic to
- speed up records without affecting the audio quality).
-
- I've seen this on two TV sets, so I know it's not a byproduct of a
- particular tube.
-
- At times this does make the show funny. The "Camikaze Kid" episode
- was a little like the 6 million dollar man when Sam had to jump out
- of the way of the bad guy's speeding car. He almost seemed to vanish
- out of the picture he moved so fast.
-
- I get my revenge on the USA network, though, because I can REALLY speed
- up those commercials on my VCR. :-)
