   I tried to search YouTube for the three versions, but found none.   
      
   So, in total there were three versions.   
      
   a. Beheading (aka the thing you just mentioned with that sword starts to   
   cross his throat, one that we were denied!)   
   b. Different programming, now the Cylons want peace (I think the stand alone   
   movie that was shown on TV in our part of the world)   
   c. Baltar becoming the commander of the Cylon force chasing the Galactica   
   (for the series)
