CSI-BSG

From the Los Angeles Times:

The world seems as drab and bleak as a New Caprica prison cell these last few weeks because, well, there's no more "Battlestar Galactica." I'm trying to carry on, but it's not easy ...

At least it turns out now that on Thursday we'll get a light-hearted postscript to the best frakin' show ever with a quirky new episode of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

Ronald D. Moore, the lead architect of the "BSG" universe and a key creator on the late, great "Star Trek: The Next Generation," pops up in a cameo in an episode of the crime-and-science show entitled "A Space Oddity," which has some familiar themes to his career: The plot is about the murder of a television creator who has revived a classic old space-faring series with new layers of sophistication. Kate Vernon, who portrayed Ellen Tigh, the Fifth Cylon, is in the episode and Michael Nankin, a veteran of "BSG" as well, is the director. The finished product may be more like "Galaxy Quest" than anything else, but us "BSG" mourners will take our colonial-fleet thrills where we can find them. Here's the preview ...



A Space Oddity was written by David Weddle and Bradley Thompson.

Hahaha, can't decide what's funnier -- "Whoa, we got a whole lotta love on this command chair!"...or the TREK TOS font on the show title card at the end of the promo. Hilarious!

Also, apparently Grace Park has a cameo as well...

Argh... Why "the video is not available in your country or domain"? Is Poland really in such an end of nowhere?
I bet it's funny. :)
