More actions
Tarn was selected for the scout mission to Kobol (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt. I), subsequently becoming stranded on Kobol with the rest of his crew.
Tarn was sent back to the crash site to retrieve a medkit for the critically wounded Socinus, accompanied by Chief Tyrol and Cally. On their way back with the medkit, he was killed in a Cylon ambush (Scattered).
Notes
- When Seelix and Tarn first appeared in the season 1 finale, they were originally just generically named "Technician #1" (Tarn) and "Technician #2" (Seelix). However, Aaron Douglas, who plays Chief Tyrol, saw potential for the two characters, and after consulting together, they came up with names for the two characters. Douglas then just inserted their names into his lines on every take. So by the season 2 premiere, the credits officially started listing them with these names. Tarn died in the season premiere, but Seelix ultimately became a somewhat recurring character, reappering in "Flight of the Phoenix")
