The single disc release of the pilot in widescreen is the theatrical
version, where Baltar does indeed get executed. The original TV
version of the pilot is only available in the complete series set, and
in fullscreen.

The pilot actually *should* be in fullscreen, as that was how it was
shot and aired. The theatrical version is widescreen because it was
matted from theatrical projection.
