What happens when the fifth cylon drops by CSI? Fans of both Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica and the long-running CBS procedural will get that answer when Kate Vernon (aka Ellen Tigh) guest-stars on CSI this April.
"It's a really fun episode," Vernon shared with me during a recent visit to the TVGuide.com offices. "I play a professor of media theology, and I'm making a documentary on the Gestalt constructs of sci-fi mythoculture."
(Yes, that is a mouthful, but luckily Vernon was well-rehearsed in explaining it.)
As the CSI episode unspools, a murder of course takes place, and an investigation follows at a Comic-Con-type venue. Along for the ride are no less than a pair of BSG scribes, director Michael Nankin and exec producer Ronald D. Moore (in a fleeting cameo). Says Vernon, "It's a little wink to Battlestar."

Of course, the main reason for Vernon's visit was to promote the utterly unpredictable series finale of Battlestar. Get the tease-filled scoop from her in this second video.
