you had any doubts that CSI's creative team was made up of a bunch of rabid Battlestar Galactica fanboys and girls, this next story should erase them.
An upcoming fraktastic episode of CBS' still-powerhouse procedural will feature guest appearances by BSG's fifth cylon, Kate Vernon, and the show's creator, Ronald D. Moore.
"It's about a murder at a science fiction convention," explains executive producer-BSG fanatic Naren Shankar of the April installment, which once again puts the show's lab rats front and center. "It has a bit of a Battlestar Galactica vibe to it."
I'll say. In addition to boasting Vernon and Moore, Shankar says the ep also features, "Hodges (Wally Langham) and Wendy (Liz Vassey) re-enacting scenes from a campy -- and entirely fictional -- 1960's era sci-fi TV show."
As you'll recall, CSI producers were eyeing BSG's Katee Sackhoff to replace Jorja Fox last season, but they were ultimately overruled by execs at CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer Television.
