Some things just don't mix

At the beginning of Friday night's Battlestar Galactica, Doc Cottle informs us that once the bleeding in an important character's brain is stablized, they can bring "the brain guy" from Inchon Velle to remove the bullet. Later, we hear this brain guy's voice. Oh my god, it can't be. It is! Who plays this brain specialist? John Hodgman. John Frakking Hodgman.

What's so bad about that? John Hodgman is hilarious. Battlestar Galactica is not. If I didn't know who John Hodgman was, maybe I wouldn't think this was so wrong. I think the words he said could have been funny on the page. But he just does not fit in the BSG world. I feel bad for saying.

But, apparently someone did think to ask him if there were any hoboes in the fleet, to which he replied that it was impossible to tell because the hoboes look like us now. This works great. Just not on the show itself.
