In this episode of CSI, the following happens. We open with Hodges at a Sci-fi convention and seeing that Wendy is also there. They both love the same show "Astro Quest" and even the same characters. In the shows native tongue Hodge says something to Wendy, but she doesn't understand what he says as she doesn't speak the language.
Soon a dead body is found, and Wendy and Hodge call it into Jim and the team. We soon learn that the victims name is Jonathan, and that he and another partner we about to re-make the sci-fi, which both Wendy, Hodge and hundreds, if not thousands, of others love. The team soon find footage of the new show being previewed to some fans at the convention. They hate it and so the team believe that they may have killed Jonathan because of his remake. This theory is only enhanced when they find evidence of a video made about Jonathan being killed because of his remake. Soon, through following the evidence, the team learn that a professor from the convention killed Jonathan. She admits that he stole some of her ideas and he used them in his remake. She confronted him and they fought, she pushed him, and he fell hit his head and died. The team get a copy of Astro Quest and so they all watch it in the break room together.
The sexual tension between Wendy and Hodges grows and grows during this episode. Andrews soon see the tension between Hodge and Wendy and tells him just to tell her how he feels, as everyone knows that they have a thing for each other. When Wendy types in the line which Hodge said to her about the convention on a show convertor, we see that it means, "We were made for each other". This brings a slight smile to Wendy's face.moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Dr. Russell: Derrida... Derrida would've called that... Brass: An epistemological dichotomy? (pause) I just call it second degree murder. Edit
- Henry: She mad at you again? Why you two just get it over with? You've been dancing around it for years, just tell her how you feel. Hodges: Tell her what, Mr. Andrews? That I'd never be able to give myself to her fully because I made a commitment to this lab, to the pursuit of justice. Do you think it's easy? In the dead of night, I can't help but wonder what it'd be like to savor the pleasures of ordinary men. Moonlight dinners, murmured endearments, the caress of a woman's soft skin, long languid walks on the beach... Henry: But you hate the beach. It's understandable, I guess, considering your complexion. Edit
- Wendy: What happened? Hodges: I was checking the unknown solubility in acetone, when I guess it caught on fire. My mind wandered. Wendy: That's been happening a lot, Hodges. What's been going on with you? Hodges: There's nothing going on. This is Crime Lab. Not some Tagillian Kasba. Wendy: Excuse me? Hodges: You, me, a DVD, I don't think that it's gonna help us catch a killer. Wendy: Are you actually trying to blame all this on me? Hodges: Not in so many words. Wendy: Okay, you know what? I asked you to come over and watch a DVD, that's it. So, if you're having some fantasies about me dressed up in a tinfoil bikini, dancing around in a Kasba, on a strange alien planet, then ... good. Hodges: Good? Wendy: Yes, good. That means that you're not as oblivious as everyone around here seems to think you are. But the fact is, if you can't handle the way... If you can't handle the way those fantasies make you feel, don't turn all that around and blame me when you screw up. Hodges: Don't worry about it. It's not gonna happen again. Wendy: Well, that's the not only thing that's not gonna happen. Hodges: Fine. Wendy: Fine! Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Star Wars The online translator used at the end of the episode converts the text from Latin characters to Aurabesh. Aurabesh is the character script used in the Star Wars Universe. Edit
- Star Trek Hodges: We have a problem. It's one of the exhibitors. Brass: Can you be more specific? Hodges: He's dead, Jim. This is a reference to a line frequently used by Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy to Capt. James T. Kirk in the original Star Trek series whenever someone died. Edit
- Episode Title: A Space Oddity This is an allusion to David Bowie's song Space Oddity, released as a single in 1969. This also could be an allusion to the title of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Edit
