Tonight's episode of CSI (Vegas) was a send-up of Star Trek, focusing on a convention of fans for a classic sci-fi show called "Astro Quest", filled with the usual geeks in costumes, etc.

There is also a nice little nod to the new BSG. The premise was that a maverick producer wanted to do a re-imagining of the show in a much darker and grittier way, which angered fans of the classic series.

Sound familiar? :-D

After this producer aired his footage to fans, he was greeted by angry responses from the audience. Grace Park and Ron Moore were in the audience, and Moore shouts, "you suck!" LOL

Later, said producer ends up murdered, and the suspicion is that an angry fan killed him, so that he couldn't desecrate the classic version of the show.

Kate Vernon (Eleen Tigh) also has a role as a media studies professor.

    That's funny! What's the title of the episode? (I've never watched CSI but would probably watch this one)

      The only CSI I've seen was the one with Furries. That one was priceless. Furries got their snouts out of joint over it, which was funny too because the person I spoke with wanted to be taken seriously . . . as a giant bunny.
