Greenbean: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:02, 31 March 2006

Flight Sergeant Greenbean is the blonde, tall Viper pilot attached to Galactica. Colonel Tigh "dresses down" Greenbean after he discovers that he "liberated" rations for the bachelor party that the pilots hoped to throw for Captain Apollo. However, like the rest of the pilot corps, he is infected with a viral agent that almost kills him (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I). After a cure is discovered, he fights at many other engagements and has a keen tactical mind. While defending the Fleet from a raid, he and another flight sergeant, Jolly, realize that the Cylons are attacking the agro ships. However, this realization is belated, and the agro ships are destroyed, although one agro ship manages to survive the engagement intact sans its crops (The Magnificent Warriors).

Sometime later, Starbuck wonders if Greenbean is one of those invited by Cassiopeia to the Spheroid Concert -- while he himself is trying to repair things between himself and Aurora, a past romantic attachment (Take the Celestra).

Portrayed by Ed Begley, Jr.

Notes

Ed Begley, Jr. was gone by "Take the Celestra". However, it is nice to see at least some form of continuity continue, unlike other sci-fi genre shows.

He is presumed still alive.

He is identified as an ensign in both the novel and script of "Saga of a Star World".

Begley also guest starred in another science fiction series in the Star Trek: Voyager two parter, "Future's End".
