Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I've been wondering what is going to happen when Starbuck and Helo bring Caprica!Boomer back to Galactica, because I can't imagine that Helo would leave without her
I had to wonder about Helo's reaction to this. "No, don't shoot her! She's pregnant!"
So...he believes her? I mean, she obviously is, given that this is TV, but still. And if he believes her, that means he must protect her?

Well, she was goin' for pukies earlier, so I can see him believing.
And if he believes her, that means he must protect her?
It's his manly duty. Of course, he's probably gonna be telling all his buddies: "Dude! I knocked up a Cylon babe!"
Or that he hasn't made up his mind. Perhaps he's just so freaked out by the whole "Sharon is a bot" thing that he just isn't thinking straight.
I think Helo's under more than enough stress right now not to be thinking too clearly. He's reacting purely on instinct/emotion.
Hmph. Okay, I'll buy that. For now.

Right. Plus? She's not just any pregnant woman, she's preggers with his child. That can inspire "don't kill her" emotions without invoking negative stereotypes about male behavior.
On another note, why did Starbuck assume she was a Cylon? She knew there was *a* Boomer on Galactica, and another on Caprica. She doesn't know the one on Galactica just shot Adama. I would think that her first reaction would be "huh?" not "kill!"
She knows that there can be multiple copies of Cylon models. Ergo, both Boomers must be Cylons. (As Caprica!Boomer was wearing her uniform, so it couldn't be a twin.)
eta: IOW: *.Boomer ⊂ {Cylons}
Count(*.Boomer) > 1 ⇒ *.Boomer ⊂ {Cylons}
She knew there was *a* Boomer on Galactica, and another on Caprica.
That would be enough for me, given that they're already on alert for people with duplicates.
Yeah, but an instant "shoot!" reflex is another thing all together. OTOH? She just came off a big fight with one....
Good thing that twin human beings don't exist.
