Charlie Watts: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 19:54, 23 March 2021

Colonel Charlie Watts is a soldier for the Nationalists of Terra. He has performed special missions for General Maxwell and President Arends; he abruptly left Brenda Maxwell six weeks prior to Apollo's arrival on Terra. At some point he was captured by the Eastern Alliance, and is held prisoner on Lunar One, according to John.

John has Apollo assume Charlie's identity in order to attempt to convince the Terrans to avoid an impending nuclear holocaust. Apollo is greeted on Terra by Brenda Maxwell, who apparently has been romantically involved with Charlie Watts prior to his capture. "Charlie"'s erratic behavior prompts Brenda to contact Nationalist security forces, and Apollo is apprehended.

John describes Watts as "something of a scoundrel" and a handsome man ^{(TOS: "Experiment in Terra")}.

Notes

This "part" was originally written for Starbuck (Dirk Benedict), but later rewritten to center Apollo, because Richard Hatch felt that his character was being pushed to the side.

Charlie Watts is the drummer for the Rolling Stones.

-According to the [[Being of Light|Being]] known as [[John]], Watts had been something of a scoundrel who had been captured and apparently continued his existence as an [[Eastern Alliance]] prisoner on [[Lunar One]]. Watts apparently had an on/off relationship with the beautifully affable [[Brenda Maxwell]]. John gave Apollo this identity in order to attempt to save [[Terra]] by words, however [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] proved this couldn't be done, for force is the only thing that can make peace work (or so Apollo said, and was subsequently vindicated).
-The real Watts, apparently, was also an acquaintance of [[General Maxwell]] and went on special missions for both Maxwell and [[Arends|President Arends]].
