This is a listing of the retcons in the reimagined series.

Major Retcons

• Pyramid: In the Mini Series, pyramid is the name of a poker game. Later on, pyramid became the name of a sports game (similar to the original series' triad), and the card game was re-named Full Colors. (Resistance)
• Zak Adama: In the Mini Series, a different actor was pictured as Zak Adama. In "Act of Contrition", a new actor portrayed Zak, and the picutre was changed to reflect the casting choice.
• Ellen Tigh: Same with Zak Adama. The picture of Saul Tigh's wife, which Tigh had burned a hole into with a fumarello, was originally a picture of David Eick's wife. When Kate Vernon was cast as Ellen in "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down", the image was changed.
• Astral Queen: In the Mini Series, Billy Keikeya stated to Laura Roslin that the captain had 500 prisoners in his cargo hold, and that the Queen was a cargo vessel transporting prisoners to a prison. In "Bastille Day", the Billy's lines were redubbed: 1,500 prisoners were aboard the Queen, that the Queen was a prison transport. Lee Adama would go on to later state that the Queen was en route to Caprica during the Cylon attack for parole hearings.
• Fleet numbers: In the mini-series, a total of 40 FTL ships (led by Roslin) rendevous with Battlestar Galactica at Ragnar Anchorage. This makes the count 41 ships, including Galactica. However, the count offered in "The Farm" was more than that. (24 ships had left to join Roslin's fleet, which was "about a third" of the fleet.) Hence the number is around 72. (A gain of 32 ships, begging the question of where they came from.)

Borderline Retcons

• Cylon Detector: In the episode "Flesh and Bone", it takes only minutes to identify Sharon Valerii as a Cylon. However, in "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down", he states that complete testing on one sample of blood takes 11 hours. As Baltar's motives remain murky, it is unclear whether this is a retcon or if he was deliberately lying.
