The CBS sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, which has begun its third season with a huge ratings improvement, has booked former Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff for a cameo in the Nov. 23 episode, CBS confirms. She’ll be playing herself, and Wolowitz’s (Simon Helberg) dream girl, in the episode.

A network source also tells the Chicago Tribune’s Maureen Ryan, who first reported Sackhoff’s cameo, that “there may be nudity.” It’s network TV, so probably not really or nothing more than a shot of a bare back but it’s not hard to imagine the comic possibilities.

Sackhoff is the latest in a line of geek cred-enhancing guest stars for Big Bang. Former Star Trek: The Next Generation actor and Internet eminence Wil Wheaton guested on Monday’s episode; Summer Glau and Sackhoff’s BSG co-star Michael Trucco appeared last season.

Fans of Sackhoff can see more of her (screen time-wise, anyway) on the forthcoming season of 24, where she’ll play a CTU agent.
