->Galen's Questions

* AbusiveParents: His parents, who were both techno-mages, fell spectacularly out of love, used him as a pawn in their constant arguments, and eventually killed each other. His father was also physically abusive at least once.
%%* TheChessmaster
* {{Irony}}: He named himself Galen after the physician because he wanted to be a healer. It turned out to be the one area of techno-magic he had no talent for.
%%* LargeHam



* MeaningfulName: Subverted. He chose "Galen" as his techno-mage name because he wanted to be a healer (like the Greek physician Galen), but found he had no skill for that area of technomancy.

** He manages to rescue a distressed pilot (who turns out to be Lochley) via ExactWords despite an ObstructiveBureaucrat ordering him not to ''stop'' for anything.
** Had the show not been {{cancelled}}, he and his crew would've discovered a conspiracy involving [=EarthForce=] experimenting with Shadow technology, and they would've attempted to expose it, only to go on the run.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After [[NoJustNoReaction realizing]] that the Hyperspace creatures are attempting to mate with his ship, he immediately orders the ship back online (Galen having advised going offline) and to get them the hell out of there.

** In "Visitors from Down the Street", he sends messages to the alien world's populace about how their government has been controlling them through a conspiracy that blames Earth for their problems. At the end, Matheson comments that [[Franchise/StarTrek there'd probably be people]] who would see Gideon's decision as [[AlienNonInterferenceClause bad]], but [[EverybodyHasStandards he doesn't care.]]
