One of the original cast of “Heroes” has tweeted that Kate Vernon from “Battlestar Galactica” is going to guest star on the show. Greg Grunberg who plays Matt Parkman wrote on Thursday, November 12, “Kate Vernon from BSG is now on #Heroes — can’t wait for you guys to see her. The 5th!!”

While what kind of role Vernon will play out in the series is not yet known, Grunberg had earlier posted a picture of the actress posing with Robert Knepper. In the sci-fi series, Knepper plays Sam, the ringleader of traveling troupe called The Carnival, so Vernon could either be the latest member of the group or a relative of Sam.

Kate Vernon, who plays Ellen Tigh on “Galactica”, has not given commitment to any TV series after the Sci Fi series wrapped up earlier this year. However, she had joined the cast ensemble of “The Last Song” which is going to theaters across the U.S. on April 2, 2010.

Although “Heroes” is struggling with its rating, the show has been nominated for Favorite Sci Fi/Fantasy TV Show at the 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards. Also listed under the category are, “True Blood“, “Supernatural“, “The Vampire Diaries” and “Lost“.

Air Date: Sunday November 1, 2009

This final installment of Battlestar Galactica comes in the form of a Syfy Channel television movie. The special event will follow the stories of the human-form Cylons on the Galactica and on Caprica during the preparation for the massive Cylon attack on the Colonial homeworlds.

The air date has not been announced yet but executive producer Ronald Moore stated that the movie could air in November 2009. Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) directed. Co-executive producer Jane Espenson wrote the screenplay.

Someone was pointing their camcorder at their television screen at some point and managed to catch a brief of the upcoming Battlestar Galactica prequel TV movie The Plan, which delves into the entire Cylon plan that was the premise of the whole series.

It appears to be a brief scene between Dean Stockwell’s Cavil character and Kate Vernon’s Ellen Tigh in which Cavil is discussing the concept of resurrection.

While I appreciate being able to see the clip, I wonder who had their video camera aimed at the television at just the right moment this past Friday night? We’re far past the age of Kinoscope. Hadn’t they ever heard of DVRs? I’m sure better quality copies will be available soon, if not already.

Seeing the clip does make me yearn for more Battlestar Galactica episodes, even if some found the series’ ending to be disappointing. It’s a pity that we have to wait until November.

Former Battlestar Galactica toasters Tricia Helfer and Michael Hogan are staying in Sci Fi’s orbit, signing on to guest star on the net’s new paranormal dramedy Warehouse 13 (premiering July 7). Helfer will play a Chicago-based FBI agent, while Hogan has been cast as the father of Warehouse heroine Myka (Joanne Kelly). In a fun little twist, Hogan’s real-life wife, Susan, will play the role of Myka’s mom. And if that’s not enough BSG for you, Mark Sheppard (who portrayed the Fleet’s morally flexible lawyer, Romo Lampkin) will appear as enigmatic figure who represents the organization that controls the Warehouse.
