A god object is the object-oriented analogue of failing to use subroutines in procedural programming languages, or of using far too many global variables to store state information. Since this object is tightly coupled to (referenced by) so much of the other code, maintenance becomes more difficult than it would be in a more evenly divided programming design. Because this object holds so much data and requires so many methods, its role in the program becomes god-like (all-knowing and all-encompassing). Col. Scott served as a technical adviser and flew in a number of sequences, reprising his role as a Flying Tiger.
