    1) For original Battlestar: Galactica's "War of the Gods" Episode, part 2, show what Apollo and Starbuck saw in the wreckage of the enormous crashed ship which they initially did not want to show Sheba, but were then stopped by Count Iblis when they tried to show here after all.

    2) For the first season episode of Space: 1999 "War Games", remake the battles between the Moonbase: Alpha Eagles and the attacking "Hawks".

    3) A battle between the original Constitution class U.S.S. Enterprise and three Klingon cruisers with both sides using photon torpedos and Enterprise firing its main phasers repeatedly and the Klingons using their disrupters. Make maximum use of original viewing angles and effects.

    4) A battle in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Defector" where Tomalak decides to actually fight it out with the Enterprise and two Klingon Birds of Prey. This can probably be done by simply editing existing footage. One Bird of Prey and the two Warbirds destroyed.

    5) A battle between the U.S.S. Defiant and a Romulan Warbird. With the Defiant viewed from astern making a strafing run style attack up and over the forward section of the Warbird and the Warbird firing a couple of shots from its forward disruptors which pass under the Defiant as it sprays the Romulan ship with shots from its pulse phasers, scoring at least four double hits

    6) A Borg Assimilation Cube engaged simultaneously by three of the "All Good Things" style Galaxy class ships with beams from their huge phaser cannons spearing the Borg ship, passing through one side and out the other.

    7) The Borg ship from "Descent" engaged in battle with a Defiant, Nebula, Akira, and Ambassador class ship.

    8) A naval battle, circa 1991 or so between an American carrier battle group versus a Russian (or Soviet) naval force featuring Kirov, Kiev, Slava, class ships and an Oscar class submarine with the Russians perhaps being supported by some SU-24 Fencers or TU-22M Backfire bombers. Americans win of course.

    9) Remaking the first Abramsverse movie with an original series type Enterprise design and its battles with a more conventionally designed Nemesis perhaps with heavy influences of the Borg ship from Descent I & II.

    10) A battle between the TNG Enterprise-D with several Romulan Warbirds. Probably already doable with editing footage from "The Defector", "Tin Man", "Yesterday's Enterprise", "Arsenal of Freedom", "Where Silence Has Lease" and various other episodes.

    11) I keep seeing stuff on youtube where people have done stuff like taking parts of horrible episodes like Galactica: 1980's "The Night the Cylons Landed" and making changes both in effects and editing to make them noticeably better.

    I've been making notes on how to improve each episode of Galactica: 1980. Truly one of the most awful science fiction series ever. It is surprising how much better they can be done simply by trimming here and there, inserting some decent footage here and there.

    My understanding is that the scene was actually shot but deemed too controversial for Sunday night TV. The shot scene showed a burned up goat's foot, implying the ship's inhabitants were demonic.

    That is what I've heard as well. That the implication it was the original body and form of Count Iblis.

    I also heard suggested (given Apollo's earlier comment "Whatever crashed here was as big as a battlestar") that what they found was the body of Commander Cain (which would explain their desire not to let Sheba see it) with the wreckage being the remains of the Battlestar: Pegasus after it was destroyed by Count Iblis.
