If you look to the lower left after Moore completes his sentence, and the camera begins to pan left, you'll also spot Rekha Sharma (Tory Foster) in a black and white horizontal-striped pull-over shirt looking over at Moore. I wonder if there are other uncredited BSG cast members in the other crowd scenes...

Good find! I originially cut this to have RM telling a friend of mine he sucks, so the other cameos are missing. But it was definitely a great tie-in to the theme of the episode, and seeing parts of the cast was certainly a treat!

For example, In Deep Space Nine, the creation of Section 31, along of course with the events of the Dominion war, was a complete challenge to the ideals of the Star Trek Universe all created by those guys. Just the complete opposite of what Star Trek is supposed to be which what made DS9 special & Dark. Quote "that the Federation, as perfect as it seemed, had to resort to unsavory tactics and work black bag operations to keep their world safe and pristine" End of Quote.

Though I have to say, All Ronald, Ira Behr, David Weddle, Bradley Thompson and others too turned the 60's 70's too ideal world of Star Trek into a darker one, violent one in Deep Space Nine as well.

I think this have to do more with Ronald's relation with Star Trek than Battlestar Galactica. The story of this episode is written by Naren Shankar who worked with Ronald in Deep Space Nine such episode The Quickening, plus the teleplay of this CSI episode is done by David Weddle and Bradley Thompson both worked with Ronald and Ira Behr in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. This episode is about a sci-fiction convention murder so it's more about trek in a way so not much ironic...

Well BSG was pretty dark to begin with. The original BSG wasn't supposed to have cute kids with robots or rip off star wars. All Ron Moore was gotten rid of those things.

And yes, this is so ironic...

Have to laugh at this. He's saying this guy sucks because he transformed a friendly, funny, cheesy Sci-Fi from the 70's into a dark, gritty, violent thing - which is precisely what he did with Battlestar :P

Well I think also the fact that RDM was a star trek writer had something to do with it as well since this episode is parodying trek.

i find it hilarious that they got RDM to insult a guy for ding exactly what he did to BSG, which i know was the point of it all, i only watched this episode to see the bsg cast.
