    Personally I’d rather have Six from BSG than Scorpius if I’m given options for a guest in my head.

      What? All she has is looks and paranoia. Mind Scorpio is freaken smart, can override pain signals, and wake you up from a concussion to save your life. Plus he wears a Hawaiian shirt over BDSM leather somehow making it work.

        Didn’t imaginary Scorpy still keep trying to get John to turn himself in or get himself killed?

        It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show.

        The Hawaiian shirt gag is never not funny though, that’s just the truth.

            The Scorpius in John’s head was caused by a neural chip that Real!Scorpius implanted. That’s the one that kept trying to betray John, because his goal was to get the wormhole technology and give it to Real!Scorpius. John eventually has the chip removed but an echo of Scorpius was left in his brain, who John learns he can summon at will. This echo learns than he likes living and that helping John is the best way to do that, so eventually they start cooperating.

            Oh, and John named him “Harvey.”

              It’s probably getting close to time for a re-watch, I’ve forgotten a lot of details.

              Yes, Harvey, I forgot about that hilarious bit. Chriton was at his best when he was crazy 🤪
