After a run of fun adventure episodes we end up with Greetings From Earth. The set up is good, a spaceship containing a family in sleep hibernation is picked up by the Galactica. Unfortunately what follows is pretty dull, and we are introduced to new villains, the Eastern Alliance, which I suppose is meant to be a subtle nod at the Nazis or the Russians. Thing is, after the Cylons, a group of blokes dressed like Nazis just doesn't really cut it. Their equipment and technology isn't as advanced as the Galactica's or the Cylons so these guys are a real step down (kind of like when Superman went from fighting General Zod, to fighting that daft Meteor Man). The Eastern Alliance subplot lasted a few episodes, none of which were any good in my opinion. This one is worth skipping.
