My theory on Baltar is that his self-centeredness is a defense mechanism. He does know how awful his behavior has been, so he has let his id take control most of the time in order to avoid thinking about it. I've forgotten which episode it was in now, but during his trial at the end of season 3, he revealed how ashamed he was of his humble origins, and how that shame had motivated him to deliberately change his accent. It seems to me that his overwhelmingly selfish personality is akin to his cultured accent, a denial of any culpability comprised mostly of just ignoring his guilt. It catches up with him every now and then, but so far he's managed to outrun the bulk of him.
No matter what they say that show was MURDER. Like Lisa says there is only so many people maybe we do not deserve to survive!
I just watched last night and…I was surprised that they didn't spin Adama taking back power for longer, actually. Almost as surprised as I was at Baltar refusing physical comfort (heh – what a euphemism!). Yep. Humanity sucks. Most of the time.
