My guess is the ECOs are trained how to fly the Raptors, in case of emergencies, but aren't good enough at it to be fulltime pilots. (Didn't Crashdown take the controls after the pilot bought it in, I think, Kobol's Last Gleaming?) In this instance, Galactica likely needed every Raptor in the air they could in order to guild the fleet through the star cluster and so the ECOs had to step up and pull pilot duty. (Plus I know the new CAG in Pegasus verifies that Apollo is Raptor qualified. So it's entirely possible a lot of Galactica's Viper pilots don't know how to fly Raptors.)
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

You know how, sometimes, your brain just has a Jurassic Park moment?
Yeah, that. Why aren't there any TV shows where we get to fly dinosaurs?? Even shows that have dinosaurs currently, I am not seeing anybody climb on their backs and fly them.

Apparently there were a couple of different Dresden promos during Lost Room.
Here's another (no idea why it plays twice in the same video): [link]
Another one:
There's another one on the Sci-Fi channel website called "24 Hours" that doesn't seem to be up on You Tube yet.
I'm disappointed they're playing up the "spooky wizard" angle and ignoring the snarky angle.

Thrive to spite them
I just finished watching SGA
EEEEE!!!!!!! I laughed. I got teary, although I didn't quite cry but it was beautiful and Rodney was so great going to everyone and he healed Ronan's scars. This was the perfect episode. It made me fall for the show and the characters again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
how Gus's fingerprint is on the mirror if he only got involved AFTER the Objectification.
P-C, he was the janitor at the motel before the Objectification. Either not a good one, or he was in the middle of cleaning when It happened.

Well, he looks very snarky, and that's coming from someone who doesn't know the source material at all.

Right, but he said the motel only ever had nine rooms. How could he have been in room 10 if it never existed?

Dudes, Zach was totally gay! In a frustratingly non-committal way, of course, but... gay! I'm pissed that the show creators are backing down and letting him be de-gayed.
But damn, Kara yelling in Kat's face.? Hot hot hot like a burning thing. So thank you, Jane, for that.
Oh, hell yeah.

He said they didn't know at the time that anything had happened on that day--what happened was that room 10 stopped existing. Was made to have never existed.
So, up until that time, there was a room 10, with all those objects in them. As well as the guy from one of Tim's cancelled shows. Then it was pulled from reality both forwards and backwards in time. Leaving just the stuff.

Art Crawl!!!
Wait - that guy was from one of Tim's cancelled shows?
Totally didn't recognize him.
Perhaps THAT'S why Room 10 disappeared. (Tim, I mean and his cancelled shows.)
