Okay, I sort of fell down the rabbit hole about Portal. I didn't even know the game HAD a director's commentary.
And I'd always wondered about the name "Chell."
So I found this and his related articles very interesting: [link]
Oh, wow, those are really interesting! And it definitely makes me think about the game in a new way. Cool.

I have CO's from Helo! (gives stink eye to all those I *DON'T* have CO's from). Seems Helo has a bit of a crush on Boomer, and really wants to spring her from the pokie.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Let me finish this. It's very likely I'd just have to discard this card anyway.

Let's just say my options were limited.
If you get sprung won't we have a crisis card? That could also use up cards.

We will indeed (hopefully with a jump icon). There's a fair chance I'll be able to play more cards (or have to discard); but there are also a lot of Crisis Cards that don't involve skill checks, or that have a skill check but with only YG positive.
On the assumption that we pass this from here (i.e. that no one spikes it), allow me to recommend:
1. If we get a skill check with Purple, Red and/or Blue positive (especially more than one of them), by all means leave some work for me. My cards are not as mighty as I'd like, but they are numerous.
2. If we get a crisis card with a discard option (like the Food or Water Shortages), I can discard cheaply.

I play no cards.
I hear Boomer's got people slipping her booze in the brig, so she's gettin' none of mine! ((Or rather, I know she said she got it, and I know she has to discard anyway, so.))
Obligatory!Ellen: That's not "booze" I'm hearing about, dear.

Wow, amazing how that works. That equals a perfect 5 out of 5. (Hmm, that sounds like something from Buffy, not BSG... eh... bygones)
That means Boomer is FREE!!!!! So, Ms Boomer. Where would you like to go. IIRC you get to chose where on the board you move.
When I get home I'll draw the next crisis card.
