	*Boxey is based on a {{TOS\|Boxey\|character of the same name}} from the {{TOS\|~~Battlestestar~~ Galactica\|Original Series}}. He shares some similarities with his TOS counterpart, in that he is a young boy orphaned by the [[Cylon attack]] who is adopted by members of ''Galactica''{{'\|s}} crew. While Boxey was an often recurring character in the Original Series and the [[Troy (1980)\|main character]] of the follow up series ''[[Galactica 1980]]'', in the Re-imagined Series he only appears in one episode of the first season, "[[Bastille Day]]". A number of other appearances were filmed, but cut from other episodes due to time considerations. By the start of Season 2, the writers realized they had never really used him and couldn't think of a way to fit him into the series, and the character has been essentially abandoned.		*Boxey is based on a {{TOS\|Boxey\|character of the same name}} from the {{TOS\|Battlestar Galactica\|Original Series}}.

	*In the original draft of the Miniseries, Boxey would form a family unit with [[Sharon Valerii]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], but it was then decided that Boomer would be a Cylon sleeper agent. The writers then toyed around with the idea of still having the three of them be a family unit (with Boomer completely unsuspecting that she was a Cylon) until the Season 1 finale, when Boomer would reveal herself. Instead, starting with the second episode, "[[Water]]," Boomer early on starts suspecting that she is a Cylon, and the writers found fewer and fewer ways for Boxey to fit in. An idea toyed around with was that Boxey would become the "artful dodger" on the show; running the [[black market (organization)\|black market]], stealing things, etc., but it was decided that there wasn't even time for that.		*In the original draft of the Miniseries, Boxey would form a family unit with [[Sharon Valerii]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], but it was then decided that Boomer would be a Cylon sleeper agent.

	*One of the problems with having a young character such as Boxey on the show is that while the actor naturally ages, the Re-imagined Series has progressed much more slowly; the series covers approximately [[Timeline (RDM)\|one and a half years]] in fictional time from the Miniseries (2003) to the end of Season 2 (2006).		*One of the problems with having a young character such as Boxey on the show is that while the actor naturally ages, the Re-imagined Series has progressed much more slowly; the series covers approximately [[Timeline (RDM)\|one and a half years]] in fictional time from the Miniseries (2003) to the end of Season 2 (2006).
	*In the non-canonical novel ''[[Sagittarius Is Bleeding]]'', Boxey's name is given as "[[Andrew Boxman]]" (or "Alex Boxman"). He is briefly suspected as a Cylon after talking with {{callsign\|Athena}} against orders and helps to thwart a terrorist plot.

	*Boxey is based on a {{TOS\|Boxey\|character of the same name}} from the {{TOS\|Battlestar Galactica\|Original Series}}. He shares some similarities with his TOS counterpart, in that he is a young boy orphaned by the [[Cylon attack]] who is adopted by members of ''Galactica's'' crew. While Boxey was an often recurring character in the Original Series and the [[Troy (1980)\|main character]] of the follow up series ''[[Galactica 1980]]'', in the Re-imagined Series he only appears in one episode of the first season, "[[Bastille Day]]". A number of other appearances were filmed, but cut from other episodes due to time considerations. By the start of Season 2, the writers realized they had never really used him and couldn't think of a way to fit him into the series, and the character has been essentially abandoned.		*Boxey is based on a {{TOS\|Boxey\|character of the same name}} from the {{TOS\|Battlestar Galactica\|Original Series}}.

	*In the original draft of the Miniseries, Boxey would form a family unit with [[Sharon Valerii]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], but it was then decided that Boomer would be a Cylon sleeper agent. The writers then toyed around with the idea of still having the three of them be a family unit (with Boomer completely unsuspecting that she was a Cylon) until the Season 1 finale, when Boomer would reveal herself. Instead, starting with the second episode, "[[Water]]", Boomer early on starts suspecting that she is a Cylon, and the writers found fewer and fewer ways for Boxey to fit in. An idea toyed around with was that Boxey would become the "artful dodger" on the show; running the [[black market (organization)\|black market]], stealing things, etc., but it was decided that there wasn't even time for that.		*In the original draft of the Miniseries, Boxey would form a family unit with [[Sharon Valerii]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], but it was then decided that Boomer would be a Cylon sleeper agent.
