Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What has he done? Has he toured stem cell research labs with lots of bubbling colored liquids?

If I only had a brain...

Arrrgh. I have plunged into BSG and now I am playing catch-up. For instacne, back before Boomer was a known Cylon, was she seeing both the Chief and Helo? If not, why was the Chief saying he loved her?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was a Boomer on Galactica, involved with the Chief, and a Boomer on Caprica, who became involved with Helo. The Boomer on Galactica shot Adama.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

She was seeing the Chief. Helo was just her systems officer.

So there have been two Boomers for a long time?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No. Glactica!Boomer was seeing the Chief. Then after Helo got stranded on Caprica, a different Boomer showed up there with the plan to seduce him and make a Cylon/Human lovechild. This is the Boomer we're seeing now, but there are others.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Galactica!Boomer and the Chief were carrying on a secret affair (secret because it was against regs). Helo apparently had feelings for her going way back. After Helo was left behind on Caprica, a second Boomer who had never been on Galactica but had all the memories of the other Boomer came "back" to "rescue" him, and now they're in love and Galactica!Boomer is dead and the Chief is sad and confused and needs a hug.

I didn't pay close attention to the mini, but since the beginning of the series, there were the two of them. Helo believed he and Boomer were stranded together on Caprica. And then they had sex.

Massive Boomer x-post, which is appropriate.
