The geek-friendly guest stars just keep rolling into Big Bang Theory central ... Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff will appear in the Nov. 23 episode of the CBS comedy. This news comes less than a week after former Squadder Wil Wheaton showed up to crush Sheldon's spirit and help boost the show's ratings.

Sackhoff will play herself in the episode, but don't expect her role to be as big as Wheaton's or Summer Glau's last season. The former Starbuck is only dropping by for a cameo, says the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan, but that won't stop Wolowitz from stalking her, and I doubt it'll stop her fans from tuning in and boosting the show's ratings again.

Ryan says a source at CBS told her that "there may be nudity" in the episode. Make of that what you will, but don't get too excited now. Remember, this is family-friendly CBS were talking about. Unfortunately I don't think a steamy Sackhoff sex scene is in the cards.

Big Bang has been on a roll this season with some great episodes and some decent character development. I even find myself caring about Leonard and Sheldon now instead of just laughing at them. Let's hope the trend continues and that Sackhoff's appearance will add some geeky goodness to the episode.
