Mummy, I'm scared of the internets.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Nathan said that Joss told him Book's backstory is that he was a dirty cop
That be all.

Regarding the white font: interesting. A lot of posters here kind of guessed that. Then again: "I don't care if your innocent". And some of the other stuff, really strong sub-text.

Wow...bit of a let down really... But it does make sense. Objects in Space hints at it with Book telling River (who is in River-land) that he doesn't care if she's guilty. It could explain also why in the pilot he tries to warn Dobson

Well, if I'm right about the pitch for Book's backstory being explained was being put together in 2002 whilst the show was still on the air, it indicates we would have found out back in 2003 sometime. So we wouldn't have been obsessing over it for years, it would have just been a natural part of the first series.
There was actually a video on Youtube of Tim Minear talking about breaking Book's story from 2002 filmed on the set of the show, however Fox have had it removed due to copyright infrindgement.

An interesting job it is. And in these times, a man sometimes needs to take a job and not be particular about its details.
