Fascinating meta. Aside from his age, I hadn't given much thought to how implausible it would be for someone like Becker to be a military officer. Perhaps it would've been better if he'd been introduced without a military background, and had just been hired as a private security officer. Like you mentioned, he was more of a replacement for Stephen than Captain Ryan.
I also wonder if his being given a bigger role in the show towards the end of series 3 was more due to his popularity among the fans.
