Re: BG-13: Greetings From Earth
Part 1 could have used a little bit of dialogue polishing (and Hatch could have toned it down a bit) but it was holding together. The second half though is a jumble of stuff that just goes nowhere. Even in the context of a subsequent "arc" there is no dramatic payoff of any kind that justifies the episode being the only one in the series after Saga that was originally aired as a two hour movie and not two parts originally.
Combine it also with the fact that Hatch's performance gets worse, the fact that Mantooth and Harmon give not very good performances and it's even more lethal.
