Yeah, I saw that last night some time during the StarGate eps. I thought it was the start of a movie ad, only it immediately turned to a different commercial. It was on the screen for maybe 5 seconds?

Someone posted a screencap of what I saw over at deadprogrammer:

Heh, clearly someone's trying to tell me something.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but the words appear in a Latin translation of 1 Peter 4, which one English version has as, "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."

Latin version here.

Creeeeepy.... I gotta watch more NBC (being Canadian, I don't get Sci-Fi Channel, just its often-times lame but usually alright clone "Space").

Oookay... Creepy. I was just reading this thread when the commercial came on.

Maybe someone's already mentioned this, but I could've sworn I saw some text appear as the "Omnium Finis Imminet" disappeared.

Doing some digging and it seems that it may be associated with the War of the Worlds movie.

I kept seeing this on tv, but usually when I was watching the picture-in-picture so I never exactly caught what it was. And of course it was always on the feed not going into the Tivo. At least now I have a better idea and will try to catch it next time around.

In an effort to get a 'No Comment' reply I e-mailed the Sci-Fi programming department about the ad. This better be something or I will be sorely dissapointed.

Well, I'm watching NBC right now, and I'll keep in on all day, but GAWD, I cannot STAND Regis and Kelly!

Erm I hate to burst your bubble but those pics on http://photobucket.com/albums/v160/silverado/ definitely seem photoshopped to me.

Anywho, this looks like it could be a good ARG. Shame I'm a Brit and prolly wont get to see these ads (as my parents are evil and dont let me watch cable. I'm 19 and they still think it's bad. I need to move out) Ahem anywho again, START THE GAME ALREADY!!!!!!!

Here's the Dayton one. I think this relates to the Millennium television series - the circle looks like the ouroboros.
