I was re-watching Blade Runner (which of course stars Edward James Olmos) and noticed that there's a character in it who's a mechanic named Tyrol. Makes you wonder...Kuralyov 22:42, 14 Mar 2005 (EST)
Interesting...
I'll have to watch Blade Runner again and catch that...
Although I wouldn't be surprised if the name, somehow, came from that movie. As some of the elements (such as the "replicants" theme and the weapons) were pretty much inspired by Blade Runner. Joe Beaudoin 16:38, 15 Mar 2005 (EST)
- I remember hearing that Tricia Helfer based Number Six's behavior on the replicant woman Pris from Blade Runner, after having watched the movie for the first time the night before filming started.Kuralyov 22:45, 15 Mar 2005 (EST)
First name?
When did Tyrol get a first name? (Alphaboi867 14:27, 22 Mar 2005 (EST))
From RDM
The name comes from both the official Sci-Fi Channel BSG website and RDM's blog.
He's not been called by his first name, "Galen", on the show itself. At least not in the first season.
RDM does go on to state that Tyrol is the only one with a first name; Gaeta and Dualla don't have official first names yet. --Joe Beaudoin 19:07, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)
I'm wondering why he is refered to as Tyrol (such as in the episode guides) when most of the time, he is refered to as 'the chief' or Chief petty officer (Tyrol). Boomer is refered to by her callsign, not Valerii.--Radicaledward 03:09, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Tyrol's Due For a Bitchslap
After watching the first season 2 episode (Scattered) I realized that Tyrol really loses it when other lives or their reputations are in danger. Guarantee that he is going to get flak as well as serious scrutiny when he returns to the ship with the truth of Boomer revealed. He really needs some rational control and see the big picture of things, and also let his crew make mistakes rather than react carelessly. Brilliant chief, but not the brightest.

Union Meeting Picture
We really need to get a screencap of him during the union speech. --Deadlygopher 22:29, 15 March 2006 (CST)
Highest Ranking NCO
Where in the show did it say that he was the senior NCO? I thought I heard it on the show too, but I'd just like to know for sure. If he is the most senior NCO, could this mean there's only one Chief on the Galactica or that he may actually be a Senior or Master Chief and that there are other "lesser" Chief Petty Officers in the ship?
I can't imagine the Galactica having a one-man goat locker, but then again it's a fictional military, not the US Navy. Either any of that or I'm just missing something ;) --Marty4286 03:01, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
- They stated in the Miniseries that Galactica is not a normal ship; it's about to be decomissioned. It's only got about half of it's full crew compliment (2,600 as opposed to 5,000). A normal ship might have more, but as Galactica is about to be decomissioned and not running at full capacity, Tyrol is the Chief Petty Officer and highest ranking NCO. I don't think he's a Master Chief but that's simply a formality of rank; he's still the highest ranking guy on the ship. Meanwhile, in "Litmus" Adama stated that he is the highest ranking NCO. --The Merovingian (C - E) 11:08, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
