Shark and Easy were the pilots in raptor 781 with Gaeta? Shark was also the callsign for the ECO on the Pegasus raptor training missions. Raptor #? 718.
He does have lines! Lots of them! I actualy like that episode. (except for the whole Dee is all over Lee only a month after Billy died thing. Makes me want to smack her sideways.)
One thing about callsigns--I remember in "Scar" they essentially suggested that sometimes, pilots inherit callsigns from dead pilots. I think that happened to "Beano" (what a horrible name!).
Also, I guess Shark might be a common callsign? I'll bet there's several other Apollos running around, or Racetracks, or Boomers, or Hot Dogs. (I'm fairly willing to bet there was only one Narcho, though. Seriously, how'd they come up with that one?) So maybe both the Pegasus and the Galactica had Sharks?
...y'know, Snowflake would be a pretty good callsign.
I think the callsigns sound pretty arbitrary. I mean, we saw how Hotdog got his callsign. Just very quickly, no thinking, Starbuck just assigned it to be a dick. I think in a way its better if the callsign isn't totally perfect (Apollo is kind of too perfectly suited to Lee.)
Yeah, they're pretty on-the-spot, huh? "You're gonna be Shark. Oh, wait, there's already Sharks... Okay, you're 'Tall Shark,' he's 'Bald Shark,' and she's 'Chick Shark.' See, I told you guys I'm great at thinking up callsigns!"
I'm guessing that's probably the case (especially since Pegasus Shark was a woman), but I still find that very coincidental that both Sharks are crew for raptor 718s. Yea, I don't think there's another Narcho either. I'd really like to know the story behind that one.
I'd hate to get a dead guy's callsign. Then you'd be forever associated with them. Perhaps the pilots need to be more creative. :P Especially if they're naming guys "Beano".

But yeah, it's one of the few episodes where Hoshi has lines!
