CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.20 – A Space Oddity
Air Date: April 16, 2009

Someone would have to have no sense of humor at all not to like this trailer for Thursday’s episode of CSI: Vegas. It’s the one where the writers and the guest stars are from Battlestar Gallactica. Originally, this episode was to be called To Boldly Go… but now we see that the title has changed to A Space Oddity.

Lab rats Wendy and Hodges run into each other at a scifi convention. And if you’ve never had the pleasure of going to one, they are a lot of fun, even for a non-scifi fan like me. People walk around in full Klingon costumes and other amazing outfits, all while playing the parts of their favorite scifi characters, and so much more… And in this clip, we see Hodges’ very active imagination take over at times and it looks like he is romantically interested in Wendy. (Who wouldn’t be? She’s smart and pretty!) And when they get a murder case from the convention, the team and the lab rats have to wade through reality and fantasy to solve the crime.

Fans of the original Star Trek, be sure to notice David Berman’s parody of Scotty when he replies to the request to close the cadaver back up!! LOL!

I have some CSI: Vegas casting news for an upcoming episode. It seems that a couple of the writers and one of the directors for CSI: Vegas were also Battlestar Gallactica team members. They’ll be working on an upcoming episode, the one that deals with a Comic-Con type of convention, and one of the guest stars will be Kate Vernon also from Battlestar. Sci Fi fans should be thrilled at the Battlestar connections. Those of us in the dark about Sci Fi will probably just enjoy the episode for the usual forensic investigation stuff.

Here’s what Kate Vernon had to say about her character in the episode:

“I play a professor of media theology, and I’m making a documentary on the Gestalt constructs of sci-fi mythoculture.”

Here’s a quick interview she did with TV Guide’s Matt Mitovich recently about her appearance on the show:
