Added DiffLines:

* CripplingOverspecialization: The battlestars, although powerful, are designed for fighting other capital ships and are weak against small fighters. With their own Vipers grounded, the fleet ends up suffering a DeathOfAThousandCuts.

Not surprising. Doesn't provide a Bait And Switch. Also, weaknesses exist for the battlestars example.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The evacuation was rushed enough that not all the tests to ensure the food was safe were used.
** During the evacuation, subpar ships were used out of desperation, and a large number of people were left behind due to lack of ships.

Aliens eating humans is the To Serve Man subtrope and doesn't need to be mentioned under the I Am A Humanitarian trope aswell.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Retcon}}: For the TV broadcast version of ''Saga of a Star World'', the final scene is an epilogue that shows Baltar being dragged before the Imperious Leader and being told that the Imperious Leader who ordered his death was destroyed at Carillon. This new Cylon Leader deduced that the Cylons were now supreme and could afford to be more tolerant thus Baltar was to be spared and act as a peace envoy. This scene ended in freeze frame with Lucifer entering the throne room but was recapped and continued in the ''Lost Planet of the Gods Part I''. The scene is truncated to omit the offer of peace and new tolerance. Now Baltar's new function would be to [[ThatsWhatIWouldDo help them think like the humans they are pursuing]], thus his continued presence as a recurring villain.
