Captain Cole "Stinger" Taylor is the former CAG of the battlestar Pegasus.
Like many Pegasus officers under Admiral Helena Cain's thrall, Taylor is a humorless officer that seems to regard Galactica's officers as tainted in some way. He feels that Commander Adama's son, Lee, has been given his responsibilities as CAG through his father's influence.
Encounter with Galactica[edit]
After Pegasus jumps into range of the Fleet, Admiral Cain is brought to Galactica on Taylor's Raptor, 861, along with Lieutenant Noel Allison and Colonel Jack Fisk. Upon a tour of Galactica, and overhearing comments about Allison's Viper, he admonishes Adama for the lack of discipline under his stead.
When Captain Adama is transferred to Pegasus on Admiral Cain's orders, Taylor busts Lee Adama's role to a mere Raptor pilot to accompany him on a recon mission to an unknown Cylon ship (TRS: "Pegasus"). While on the mission, tensions break out between Galactica and Pegasus relating to the death of Alastair Thorne. Under Cain's orders, Taylor relieves Adama at gunpoint. Adama is allowed to go to the back of the Raptor where he secretly contacts Kara Thrace aboard the Blackbird, who has just returned from her own secret reconnaissance effort of the Cylon vessel.
Once tensions between the two battlestar crews abate, Cain receives a download of Thrace's recon photos. Impressed not only by Thrace's work, but in her brazenness, she promotes Thrace to Captain and to the duties of Pegasus CAG, replacing Taylor, who had failed to notice Thrace and Adama's scheming behind his back (TRS: "Resurrection Ship, Part I").
Later, Taylor is placed in the brig after mouthing off to Pegasus's commanding officer, Commander Garner. Whether or not he is released following Garner's death is not known (TRS: "The Captain's Hand"), and his fate thereafter remains unstated.

Michael Taylor is a television writer and producer. He joined the writing staff and production team of the Re-imagined Series in Season 3.[1] He joined the series as a supervising producer and was promoted to a co-executive producer for the fourth season.
He was previously best known for his work on two series in the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. His DS9 credits include acclaimed episode "The Visitor," as well as "In the Pale Moonlight," which was controversial for challenging some of Star Trek's utopian ideas.
Taylor also worked as a producer and writer on the USA Channel series The Dead Zone.
Taylor joined Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore on Virtuality, a two-hour backdoor SF pilot for Fox. The potential series would have dealt with the 10-year journey of a 12-member crew aboard the starship Phaeton to explore a far away solar system. The Phaeton will be equipped with virtual reality modules that will keep the minds of the astronauts active, and will allow them to undertake virtual adventures. Moore and Taylor wrote the teleplay and executive-produce along with Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun. [2]
Awards and Honors[edit]
Before the present separation of “Long and Short Form” at the Hugo Awards, which was changed in an attempt to honor both Television and Theatrical presentations, Michael Taylor earned his first Hugo nomination in 1996 for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “The Visitor.” [3] In 2002, Taylor was nominated for a Nebula Award, for writing the Dead Zone episode "Unreasonable Doubt" [4], and he was nominated again in 2007 for his work on the Battlestar Galactica episode "Unfinished Business". [5] Taylor was a 2008 nominee for the Hugo Award for "Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form)" for the television movie "Razor". [6]
