Doctor Cottle
Major Sherman Cottle is a fictional character in the reimagined ''Battlestar Galactica'' series. The battlestar ''Galactica'''s Chief Medical Officer, Cottle is played by Donnelly Rhodes. Character biography Cottle is gruff, sarcastic, and portrayed as a heavy smoker. He isn't impressed or easily swayed by those in authority: He makes less-than-deferential remarks to both Cdr. William Adama and Col. Saul Tigh, and even President Laura Roslin. He holds the rank of Major in the Colonial Fleet, but is not a line officer: he does not form a part of ''Galactica'''s chain of command. He is invariably addressed by his medical title, and unlike Gaius Baltar, Cottle does not object to the abbreviation "Doc". Cottle appears to have a strict sense of medical ethics (possibly having sworn the Colonial equivalent of Earth's Hippocratic oath), and does not discriminate between human and Cylon patients. He describes the sexual assault of Sharon "Athena" Agathon as "unforgivable," and after ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
