Was rewatching the mini series... is Boxey the son of the Armistice Station Courier? He is looking over some files, and pictures of his family... and I think the boy was Boxey, but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm?

Can anyone confirm? Yes i think he is. Someone mentioned this before and it was confirmed. In my opinion Boxey = annoying child. I say this from watching one of the earlier episodes where he was cheeky to Col. Tigh. Little brat ;D. |

Little brat ;D. really? I liked how he was lippy. I mean he's being raised by the lower ranking officers, who all despise Tigh anyway because he's a dick and a drunk. I know if all my peers were lippy to the X/O, I would be |

The initial scene in the Battlestar Galactica mini-series strikes me as hokey. Why would the Cylons start their attack by sending in a sexbot to kiss the ambassador and then blow them up and lose two perfectly good toaster bodies, not to mention a sexbot body? This is not a militarily significant target, nor is kissing going to help destroy it. What bothers me is that I think the writers would not make such a goof. And that means there was a good reason for the scene.
Cylon Six asks Boxey's daddy "Are you alive?" and kisses him.
Starbuck asks a Cylon (raider) "Are you alive?"
Cylon Six asks Helo "Are you alive?" and kisses him.
I already believed that Starbuck and Helo are sleeper Cylons. The Cylon Plan is to become alive by forgetting they are Cylons, so apparently Sixes are asking known sleeper Cylons "Are you alive?" to see if their plan worked on a small scale.
Then, what is the function of the kiss? Are they downloading the Cylon's mind? Reading the system logs? Trying to detect life?
Then, why blow up the station? Here I actually have an answer. Based on the story of Sharon, I believe the Cylons have the ability to make copies. They can copy a Cylon's mind and download it into a new body, or several new bodies. In order to make the copies true "sleepers," they have to be "knocked out" at the time of the transition. Otherwise, it would seem to them like they were "transported" instanteously, and that might get the copies wondering. And what better way is there to knock someone out than to kill them?
So, they copied Boxey's dad's mind. He will wake up somewhere (in a new body), and wonder what the frack is going on. The last thing he will remember will be the lip-lock and the sound of the explosions. He may awake in the sickbay of a small Colonial vessel, crewed by some faces familiar to us. Lucky for him, Dr. Doral explains, they were sent to investigate his overdue return and his compartment did not depressurize and he suffered only a concussion. Other copies may wake up in different situations.
If Boxey's daddy is a Cylon, this opens up some exciting possibilities for Boxey. Boxey is probably half Cylon, in that case.
It also likely means that Cylon bodies age, because they cut out footage of Boxey's dad returning again and again to the station and being shown to age.
