You have some great ideas there. It's too bad Moore didn't work with them. Even in "In Harm's Way" the final battle included a variety of American ships against a large Japanese surface fleet. Since Moore has stated if the show goes to series he would like to redo "Living Legend" it would have been great if the Pegasus and at least a few colonial warships were at Ragnar. You're right, they could have had a much better final battle. Caine could have fought a rear guard battle as the Galactica and the rag tag fleet escaped. It would have been beautiful. Of course it would lay the work for a reunion episode down the road since the fate of the rear guard would be unknown to Adama and the Galactica.

The original "Living Legend" episodes always seemed to me to be a combination of the Battle of Midway and Patton. I would bet good money that a Moore version will be very similar to the movie "Midway". You only need 2 Battlestars and a lot of vipers versus a large cylon fleet with 4 (?) Basestars and their escorts. The whole Pegasus story was one of my favorites. They could retell it the same but improve the battle part to reflect the entire Midway experience. It would be a great three hour episode or miniseries.
