Katee Sackhoff makes a 'Big Bang'

The geek hits just keep on coming for "The Big Bang Theory."

The CBS sitcom, which has begun its third season with a huge ratings improvement, has booked former "Battlestar Galactica" star Katee Sackhoff for a cameo in the Nov. 23 episode, CBS confirms. She'll be playing herself, and Wolowitz's (Simon Helberg) dream girl, in the episode.

A network source also tells the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan, who first reported Sackhoff's cameo, that "there may be nudity." It's network TV, so probably not really -- or nothing more than a shot of a bare back -- but it's not hard to imagine the comic possibilities.

Sackhoff is the latest in a line of geek cred-enhancing guest stars for "Big Bang." Former "Star Trek: The Next Generation" actor and Internet eminence Wil Wheaton guested on Monday's episode; Summer Glau and Sackhoff's "BSG" co-star Michael Trucco appeared last season.

Fans of Sackhoff can see more of her (screen time-wise, anyway) on the forthcoming season of "24," where she'll play a CTU agent.

After seeing Samuel Anders as a guest star, I was wondering when Starbuck was coming to the show. I read that she only comes out as Howard Wolowitz's dream. Well.., I think like Wolowitz and I know he dreams Number Six being naked in that same dream as well.
