For Fans of ST:TOS and Both Versions of BSG...
cchase28 January 2010
I know it's just my opinion (that's what IMDb reviews are for, right?), but of all the post-Grissom episodes, this might be far and away the best AND the funniest. The producers and the writers are obvious ST: TOS and BSG fans, because the care they took in lovingly spoofing the details in Hodges' and Bryce's fantasies is a dead giveaway. And throwing in cameos by Ron Moore and Grace Park? HUGE plus. If you are a fan of either or any of the imitated shows, but not necessarily a CSI watcher, this is the episode that may just get you hooked. Bravo to cast, crew and especially David Weddle, Bradley Thompson, Naren Shankar and Michael Nankin. Can we have more like this, please?

I loved this. How could I not. I am an avid Trekkie. It's how I was raised. The license plate on my mom's car spells out Warp 10. Watching the CSI cast recreate Star Trek episodes was so much fun.

The Writers Were Trekkies
Hitchcoc1 March 2021
This episode is for fun. A budding romance introduces us to a series of clips from an ersatz Star Trek show. If one has seen the originals, he or she will be able to find a matching episode to the one shown here. The plot is interesting. We get to go to Nerdland. Hodges is in love but can't pull the trigger, even when he has numerous opportunities. The Kirk character has gone sour and reacts against the positivism that the show he starred in was too saccharine. This is about mob mentality as well as sexual power.

Murder in the Convention
claudio_carvalho5 May 2023
During the Whatfit Convention dedicated to the cult series from the 60's Astro Quest, Hodges stumbles upon Wendy since they are fans of the series. Out of the blue, Hodges finds the producer of the controversial series Astro Quest: Redux, Jonathan Danson, dead on the booth of his series. While investigating the case, there is a tension between Hodges and Wendy, with Hodges fantasizing Astro Quest erotic situations with her.

"A Space Oddity" is an episode of "CSI" that spoofs the cult Star Trek series from the 60's and the frequent sci-fi conventions in USA. The plot is funny in many moments and the episode is more comedy than crime. My vote is seven.
