There just one problem with your mythological factoring. In the mini series, Boomer and Helo landed on Caprica after their raptor was damaged. Boomer took off with a load full of people and left Helo behind. Boomer and the people (including Baltar) ended up on Colonial One and eventually Galactica after they joined the fleet in an FTL jump to Ragnar. This is the Boomer that is now what we call Galactica Boomer. I think we can probably assume that this version of Boomer is the one that has been on Galactica all along and is the one involved with Tyrol. Nothing in the mini series suggested that she snuck back to Caprica to save Helo.
No! Yes, but it's complicated!
First, for the mythological mapping, it's irrelevant whether this Boomer was ever on Galactica - only her personality and relation to others (and their mappings) matter.
Second, although no one agrees with me, I believe Boomers are being switched on us, and also that they are being copied atom-for-atom. You can read my thoughts in the Cylon forum. Interestingly, I just rewatched the start of the mini-series, and the Sharon there is the evil replacement Sharon, the one who knows she is a Cylon. (Once you recognize her distinct personality, you'll see it too.)
If I am correct that Galactica Sharon is not just one Sharon, that means "sleeper mode" is unnecessary and probably nonexistant. There are simply Cylons who believe they are Cylons versus Cylons who believe they are humans (having living their whole lives in Colonial society) and these need some heavy-handed tactics to be convinced of the truth.
I believe Crashdown and Helo are both Cylons (or half Cylons or Cylon agents.)
The Boomer on Caprica is one of the other versions of Boomer. She just "showed up" I think it was within hours after Helo escapes from the cylons and another version of Six. Since that time, Caprica Boomer has been with Helo. She's the ONLY Boomer that has been with Helo.
What makes you think she is the ONLY Boomer that has been with Helo? Boomers could have been switched when Helo was knocked out and Boomer was "abducted" by the Cylons. And/or Helo could have been switched then. And any time one Boomer snuck away from Helo, she could have been switched with another, or he could have been switched with another.
Now I can't remember exactly how many days its been since Boomer and Helo had sex,
11 days in between sex and puke... can someone confirm?
but I know some women have morning sickness within a few days of conception. Its just the way their bodies are.
Perhaps, but "For most women, morning sickness begins around the fourth week of pregnancy and resolves by the 12th week" (from vic.gov.au). So I stick with my statement that it is biologically unlikely that Helo got Sharon pregnant. He certainly only had one ovulation to shoot for.
With the fact that this episode is the first one we see Boomer actually being sick could very well be because she is pregnant...by Helo.
I say Boomer is pregnant by Tyrol. Congratulations, Tyrol, it's... identical twins... by two different Sharons! Unfortunately, as of episode 10, you haven't seen the "real" Galactica Sharon for a long time. (Last time was the end of episode 7, where she awoke drugged and found "CYLON" written in her locker - by the "evil" Sharon, no doubt, whose mission is to convince Sharon of her true nature.)
