EXCLUSIVE: George Takei Warps to "Big Bang Theory"

It's safe to say that the nerds of "The Big Bang Theory" -- Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Sheldon (Emmy winner Jim Parsons), Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) -- are quite familiar with "Star Trek" lore.




But this season, only one of that quartet will share a scene with "Star Trek's" Sulu, George Takei, who'll play himself on the CBS comedy in an episode tentatively scheduled for Thu., Oct. 14.


Take a moment to absorb this phaser blast:

In that episode, Takei will appear alongside fellow geek icon Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica"), who, as I reported last week, is returning to "Big Bang Theory" to play Wolowitz's conscience.











In an interview, Prady explained that Wolowitz is thinking about getting back together with his ex-girlfriend Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), and it sounds as though Sackhoff and Takei will represent opposing points of view.


"George Takei plays himself, and he's the other person guiding Wolowitz in his thoughts as he tries to figure out what to do about Bernadette," Prady said.






Prady won't disclose the venue for this conversation, but he ruled out a return to Wolowitz's bathtub, where Sackhoff famously appeared last season. But Sackhoff and Takei do share some dialogue, Prady noted.


"I think they do discuss being typecast in science-fiction shows," Prady said.

i am sure that they could fit all three characters into the bathtub if they tried hard enough.
