He was one of the kids that Boomer and Helo save from Caprica. And they show him (at the end of the mini) - hanging out with Boomer and some others in the hangar. (One of the deleted scenes shows the Chief showing Boxy his new quarters with the pilots.)

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

smonster wrote a fab backstory ficlet off of "The Farm" [link]
Makes me retroactively like a scene that I wasn't so fond of on first watch. I love fic that does that. Go. Read.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Absolutely nothing beats watching SG-1, SGA, and BSG crammed into a hotel room with 27 other folks, mostly slashers, lots of alcohol, orange food, and chocolate.
Well, the only thing that would beat it is when the writers of SGA give you the slash on a frelling platter, causing the squees to be heard as far away as the Loop.
Oy.
Rodney and Zelenka were both flirting with Sheppard when they started telling him about the new weapon. And then there was the trust me scene, and the ohnoes we broke up scene...
This was way slashier than Duet.

Oh, and there were two excellent SGA vids during the Vividcon premieres show: one McKay/Sheppard set to "Hallelujah", and I forget the song used for the other, but it was lovely. Links forthcoming, I expect.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I forget the song used for the other
I remember the vid was called "Hello," so I'm guessing the song was as well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OH, Here's Ron Moore's discussion of Boxey on his blog. Moore's blog, not Boxey's.
"WHERE the fraq is Boxey?
I can only guess the new baby cylon/human hybrid girl is Boxey’s future wife only if Boxey is still around."
Boxey died a hard nasty death on the page and in the editing room, and was last seen haunting the deleted scenes area of this very website. Boxey's character was included in several episodes last season, but ended up on the cutting room floor time and again, not for lack of ability on the actor, but simply because as the show evolved and focused itself over the course of the year, his character became ancillary to the storylines. But who knows, he might yet lurch out of the shadows once Sharon's daughter reaches the age of Colonial consent.
Note: Moore's blog is spoilery for some of the next few episodes....
eta: I thought Moore said something about Boxey's absense in the commentaries, but I must have been thinking about this blog entry.
When I was a kid, we didn't have no fancy writer/producer's blogs and podcast commentaries. Nor online recaps. It's kinda' weird and fun to read Strega's recaps (at TwoP) when she discusses not only the episode but Moore's commentaries of the episode....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
one McKay/Sheppard set to "Hallelujah",
Everybody in the world needs to stop using that song for at least fifteen years.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The writer/creator on the commentary track for Scrubs S1 ("My Old Lady") claims to have started that trend, and apologizes. I don't know if he's right about being the trendsetter, but I'll accept the apology anyway.

Thrive to spite them
Does anyone have the link to the SGA vid to Running up that Hill? It was linked either here in Boxed Sets or Fanfiction, but I haven't been able to find it. I deleted it after watching it and I want to take a look at it again.
