	* Watchers of the series can also note the intended-to-be-subtle changes in the scenes concerning Baltar's talk with the new Imperious Leader. In "[[Saga of a Star World]]," the Imperious Leader states that Baltar will vie for peace on the behest of the Cylons, as they are powerful enough to be "tolerant" of the humans. However, in the beginning scenes of "[[Lost Planet of the Gods]]," this part is conspicuously absent. This led fans to believe that: (1) The "olive branch" mandate was not part of the series [[canon]] to make the series more interesting; or (2) Baltar attacked the Fleet on his (and Lucifer's) own prerogative, in which Baltar (could have) made it appear that the surviving humans were intolerant to the peace offering, which would likely be to convince the Leader that his position was the wrong one to take.		* Watchers of the series can also note the intended-to-be-subtle changes in the scenes concerning Baltar's talk with the new Imperious Leader.

	* Re-imagined series creator [[Ronald D. Moore]] found the original Baltar's motivation for betraying his entire race to be nonsensical. Moore ~~stated~~, "I never understood why the hell he did what he did... All they really say is they promised him some kind of dictatorship over a planet or something. But they were going to wipe out all the humans, so who is he going to be dictator over? And why does he think that’s attractive? 'What’s in this for Baltar?' was always such a tough nut to crack."

In "[[War of the Gods]]," Baltar evidently demonstrates intelligence and dignity by playing with fate and facing the Fleet's Quorum. Finally, he shows another version of himself by being a bumbling imbecile, thanks to ''Battlestar'''s writers that decided to alter what Baltar was and should have been during the series' run.
