I found out where the name Ryan Cisco comes from
I can't believe no one has noticed this before! In "Bastille Day", he pilots the Raptor carrying Starbuck to the Astral Queen. At time index 31:08 (PAL), you can very clearly see the Raptor name plate: "Lt Ryan Cisco - Flat Top"
Generally, I'd be inclined to go with visual evidence over the voiceover in "Act of Contrition". But he has been Dwight Saunders for a few years now. So maybe we should just note the visual evidence in the note and leave it as it is. --Serenity 17:21, 1 September 2007 (CDT)
