Looking back i wish several more scenes were there to flesh out the story a little more.
What if we had?
1) Cain or Sheba relating the tale of the Battle of Molocay with *flashbacks* added, showing the fifth fleet battling Cylons. Maybe showing some of Cain's past history with yet another hologram viewing i.e. recorded logs stored away etc. We'd get a look at other Battlestars this way and see how Cain survived and dealt with this crushing blow to his ego.
2) The Council of Twelve meeting Commander Cain. Perhaps another subplot showing how the Council takes a liking to Cain rather than Adama and may plot to replace him with Cain at some point in the future? Even if he is a warmongeror, they are blinded by him being the famous Living Legend and warm up to him. We could see a quick montage of scenes seeing Cain touring the fleet seeing whats left of humanity and what he has to fight for.
Could explain his actions later on trying to save the fleet from three baseships, with the images of the civilians in his head making him fight for them rather than himself.
3) More of the Pegasus. maybe she has subtle differences besides the similar look of her and the Galactica on the outside.
4) More Cylon civilians, the flip side to the colonials in the fleet. what exactly do Cylon civilians do.
5) Delphian Empire on Gamoray. What do they look like? Maybe it could have been an idea to have Boomer and Starbuck find some prisoner cells during the fuel raid and rescue some Delphians who could have informed the colonials more about the Cylons and their activities. They also could have remained on the Pegasus after she disappeared?! (what would that do for fanfic writers eh?)
6) Gold Spar, Bronze Spar squadrons? If Cain saved survivors of the fifth fleet what other squadrons of Vipers are there besides Silver Spar on the Pegasus? only fanfiction alludes to gold and other colours due to the colour name of Silver Spar squadron?
Add all that in a few more minutes and *voila* a bit more back bone eh?
Anyone got other ideas to add?
Living Legend: The Special Edition!

Certainly would great to add those to a new continuation comic book, expanded Battlestar Galactica episodes footage with all the episode scenes retold along with various logical extensions such as these added to further add more depth to the classic 2 parter Galactica stories.
Still, i got this idea in my head. If fans wanted to expand the stories. They have two options? A CGI short story crafting out the added expanded bits we'd love to see. Good detailed CGI, not the cartoony use of it. Short movies focusing on the character development, well animated bits we fans imagining fitting into the Living Legend episode quite well. Or choice two? All these 'Cough' *re-edited* 'Cough' episode versions with every existing bit of footage from all versions, thrown back in and re-edited together!
In any case, it shows fans love of this episode hasn't dwindled over the years but increased.
I can't wait for next BG fan movie to appear online. Cos its been a few years since we talked, downloaded or seen any at all.
