If I remember right though, it was Larson's call on keeping Baltar alive, since he directed the scene of Baltar being spared.

But this does show how just like the best of what we associate with Star Trek didn't come from Roddenberry but from the other people on the show during its first couple seasons (Coon, Fontana etc.) the same thing was true of the others who worked with Larson on the series to help bring the series into a form that was ultimately more satisfying than if the original vision had been followed to the letter.
