I don't usually watch CSI, but this was hilarious! They never mention Star Trek by name, but you can identify every last reference they make easily. The episode simultaneously glorifies and makes fun of us ST geeks, but actually does it rather well (kinda like Galaxy Quest).
Watch for a cameo by Ron D. Moore around the 12 minute mark! Grace Park (Boomer) and Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh) also have parts, but Park is just part of the crowd. Oh, and B5's Lt. Corwin is there too!

It might be available at CBS.com. Not sure though.
It was...interesting. The whole plot...the creator of a new version of the show being killed, possibly by an angry fan, made me wonder if the writers had been reading the Trek XI forum at Trek BBS.
Good episode though. I loved all the references. Particularly th reference to an Astro Quest episode called "Yesterday is Tomorrow".

I thought it was a funny send up while my wife thought it was lame. I loved the send up of Shahna from "Gamesters of Triskelion". The costume looked like it COULD have been designed by William Ware Theiss.

Chick is hot. I've thought so ever since "Conundrum" when she was the babe in a swimsuit. Amazing that she's still just as hot when even less dressed, like 20 years later.
