'''Flight Sergeant Jolly''' can be best described as a hefty, jovial, likable fellow; and a quite competent [[Viper]] pilot. He was involved in the discovery of the [[pluton poisoning]] of the foodstuffs they had gotten from the [[Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonies]] before making way. Jolly was also involved in discovering the [[tylium]] deposits on [[Carillon]] after making way through the [[Straits of Madagon]]. He, [[Serina]], and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] were subsequently captured and brought to [[Lotay]], Queen of the [[Ovions]].

He was one of the many Viper pilots that had been unable to attend the ceremonies since [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] expected the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] to attack, and sure enough they did. Jolly came riding in atop of a landram and drove off the Cylon onslaught as the Colonials had fled the Ovions glorified farm. He commented later on that Adama had expected the attack and had uniforms of the pilots distributed to anyone he could find -- civilians, techs, and cooks -- and made a quip about the person who received his uniform: "You should see the one who got my uniform!" ([[Saga of a Star World]])

Flight Sergeant Jolly can be best described as a hefty, jovial, likable fellow; and a quite competent Viper pilot. He is involved in the discovery of the pluton poisoning of the foodstuffs they had gotten from the Colonies before making way. Jolly also helps to discover the tylium deposits on Carillon after passing through the Straits of Madagon. He, Serina, and Apollo are subsequently captured and brought to Lotay, Queen of the Ovions.

He is one of the many Viper pilots that are unable to attend the ceremonies since Adama expects the Cylons to attack, and sure enough they do. Jolly comes riding in atop of a landram and drives off the Cylon onslaught as the Colonials flee the Ovions glorified farm. He comments later that Adama had expected the attack and had uniforms of the pilots distributed to anyone he could find -- civilians, techs, and cooks -- and quips about the person who received his uniform: "You should see the one who got my uniform!" (Saga of a Star World)

He and Lieutenant Boomer often fly together, and discover a Cylon base on an asteroid. They manage to escape relatively undetected, but contract an life-threatening infectious disease that apparently manages to manifest itself within a majority of the Viper corps, save Apollo and Starbuck who are delayed from returning after encountering the void (Lost Planet of the Gods).

Suffice it to say, Jolly recovers and is only one of two Viper pilots who figures out the Cylon agenda to attack and destroy the agro ships. He manages to save the day by saving the third agro ship (Agro Ship 9), but can't save the crops onboard. He also accompanies Adama, Apollo, Starbuck, Boomer, Boxey and Siress Belloby to Sectar, but stays behind on the shuttle (The Magnificent Warriors).

He is later involved with several engagements, and is one of the first to be abducted by the colossal Ship of Lights. Of course, after Iblis is cast out due to Iblis' killing of Apollo, Jolly is returned along with Boomer, Bojay, and the other taken Viper pilots (War of the Gods). He later assists Starbuck, Apollo, Salik and Cassiopeia sneak Terrans Michael and Sarah back on Lunar Avion that Michael appropriates, and helps keep up the façade that they are transferring the children off of the ship. Prior to this, he refers to them, almost humorously, as "Earthlings". When their deception is revealed by Reese, Boomer quips to Jolly: "Jolly! You forgot the kids!" This scene gives the Lunar Avion the opportunity to leave Galactica's bays and for Apollo and Starbuck to "pursue" (Greetings from Earth).

Notes

There are two instances of Jolly's rank being that of a Lieutenant:

  • Sire Geller, in "Greetings From Earth", referred to Jolly as thus. Whether he was actually promoted or an indication of Geller's senility -- or just simply a script screw up -- is never clarified.
  • Jolly was referred to as lieutenant in the novelization of "Saga of a Star World".
