Not really. You can pose your characters like you’re doing it and cyber normally, and I’m sure there are hacks for the UI that let you make that more realistic, but it’s not officially supported by Blizzard - quite the opposite in fact.

Yeah, because not being aware of some character on an uber-nerdy show is equivalent to being in a coma.

Count me in as another reasonably in touch geek who had no idea who Katy Sackoff was. (Just never got around to BSG yet…) And frankly, I didn’t much see the appeal, either. Her acting was pretty wooden, and there’s something just not right with her face. The smile’s too big, like she’s going to unhinge her jaw and swallow someone whole.

Unless they doll her up real nice on the showhow, she doesn’t rank very high in the hierarchy of SF babes for me.

Anyway, the desk bit was fantastic. The Sackoff/Takei thing kinda lame, and I love George as any Trekkie and Stern fan should, but he was kind of wasted here. I haven’t followed BBT all the way through, so I don’t know this Bernadette girl, but she was pretty funny.

And umm… I agree with **silenus** regarding Penny and Bernadette. Yowsah.

Haven’t watched BSG. Knew she was a SciFi hottie celebrity, rather than some old flame, because of the fullname stylistic, loved Takei’s “And yet here I am.”

I agree with everything but your assessment of Takei. He was delightful! Katie Sackoff kinda creeps me out.

And Bernadette’s bosom… Yowsah indeed…

The final scene with her & Howard was actually kinda sweet.

I’m pretty sure Howard would have a ready response for that observation.

And I can hear Raj’s rejoinder re: the size discrepancy. . .

I only know Katie Sackhoff from the last season of _24_ (and I find her mouth disturbing to look at too) but her role on that sci-fi show was referred to over and over in the _24_ threads so I got the joke about Wolowitz’ fantasy and the suit she was wearing.

Well, I didn’t think much of the new “humanoids” Galactica but apparently a lot of folks outside SF know Katie Sackhoff if only from CSI (another niche show).  
The series had one significant effect: it returned Mary McDonnell to series TV.
