Katee on CSI - Fracked

Katee Sackhoff appeared again last night on CSI as Det. Frankie Reed. I would recommend watching the whole episode, but if you just want to see her or watch her parts again here ya go. Frankie definitely has some Starbuck in her.

I watched last night and it reminded me what a shame it was that Katee didn't have Boston's Finest picked up. She was so awesome. And of the course the ep title of Fracked. We get it, Dave & Brad, nudgenudge winkwink.

I originally thought it was a nod to BSG - but it appears to actually be an engineering term. That said someone must have been an original BSG freak to come up with the slang - though they can not cement a spelling for it - whilst ours certainly has been cememented. I did like the line thrown to Willows at one point about not being Erin Brockovich - the actress behind willows was in the movie.

It's actually both a BSG reference and an engineering term. David Weddle & Bradley Thompson were both producers and writers on BSG, and their main emphasis was writing Starbuck-centric stories. It's not a coincedence that they cast Katee as a cop in an episode called Fracked, which I guess comes from Fracturing shale with blasts of water to release natural gas. I did get a kick out of Laurence Fishburne saying "Frack" (misspelled for we shippers) was a science fiction expletive. Too funny!

It's a double entendre, it's fracking the engineering term, but the fact Katee is in the episode and Fishbourne mentioned fracking sounds like a scifi expletive, it's both. Remember Bradley and Thompson BSG routes. It's not a coincidence they named the episode fracking.

This isn't as obvious tip of the hat to BSG as last year when a producer who "reimagnined" an old TV series was murdered and even had a cameo by RDM in it, but it's definitely a tip of the hat to their BSG roots.

Yeah frak is the scifi expletive and frack is the engineering term. Though people still mispell the scifi expletive as frack from time to time.

Yeah, and Lawrence Fishburne's character said something to the effect that he thought frakking was a scifi expletive. Yeah they didn't want us to miss the double entendre did they? :P

I can't edit but the engineering term is called fracking.
