After being placed there, the Warriors use their [[invisibility field]]s in order to coax [[Moran]] to overreact, attracting the attention of Sergeant James. As he opens the door, James calls out for Dorbin, who comes in after James is pushed into the cell by Troy and Dillon.

[[File:G80_-_GDE1_-_Dorbin "Doberman" Name Tag.jpg|thumb|"Doberman" name tag revealed in the high-definition restoration of {{G80|Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I|prose=Y}}.]]
* Both the original script and the nameplate worn by the actor infer the character's name is "Doberman." It is entirely possible that the name was updated in another revision of the script, changed on the day of shooting, or otherwise ad-libbed by the actor. In any event, the reason for this change is unclear.
** Of note, actor [[David Moses]] played "Greg" in the movie ''The Daring Dobermans'', and so perhaps the "Doberman" name had been conceived as a nod to that.
* Dorbin's arm patches reflect [[w:Los_Angeles_Police_Department_resources#Ranks_of_the_LAPD|a rank of Police Officer III+1]], an officer in advance pay grades, as denoted by his two chevrons above a star.
