Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Fredrick Jackson I was fortunate to have not watched this show when it was on television. I just discovered it on You Tube this past week. Being a huge SYFY and Gene Roddenberry Fan I have watched most of the first two seasons. The first season was interesting, but not very good. The show centered around a main character, William Boone (Kevin Kilner), who they lost in the second season. He did an excellent job of keeping the first season interesting, but still not good. The second season, which I am working on now is just a disaster. It is obvious that Gene, despite creating this, had nothing to do with writing it. This scripts are really, really bad. There is very little science fiction in any of it. Adding a space ship to a soap opera isn't really science fiction. In my summary I said that I was amazed that this show was allowed to continue for so long. This mess of a show was allowed to go 5 seasons and 110 episodes. Shows now days are lucky to get 2 or three seasons of 10 to 12 episodes. It seems as though 20 years ago, people were more tolerant of junk on TV. I am not recommending that you don't watch it, I am only telling you how I felt about it. Try it and see what you think. Like I said I found it on You Tube.

mshockle OK, so bear with me here but I liked the series up until the end of season 4. I wont repeat what other reviews have said about the frequent writing and acting staff changes aside from saying that it made a steady ship appear to be going through a storm with no end in sight. Fairly weak characters and lack of continuity was patched as it went along and a chemistry developed that kept you watching the series because the series still had a strong premise that the writing staff continued to explore from time to time. The failure of this series came with all sorts of filler episodes that had little to contribute and often repeated things from previous episodes. I kept waiting for Da'an to come out of hiding and slap Zo'or off of his Machavellian ego trip. Sandoval was a character who started out as a nothing prick with little airtime and was put into the driver seat of the antagonist's van to prevent the show from looking like Zo'or was doing everything himself.Season 3-4 has Sandoval break away from his role as a Zo'or clone and pursue his own agenda even going so far as to have some moments against Zo'or. In my opinion that breakaway carried the show, and the whole thing with the Jaridians and the resistance was just a little back and forth that kept the engine running to the climax of Season 4 which was passable enough to leave me with the impression that the series ended well. I then discover to my dismay that there is a season 5 and it's very hard to describe my horror that the new theme and Renee Palmer as the lead gave me. Palmer was a good secondary character, and really EFC capitalized on the fact that secondary characters could be rotated in and out of the limelight but putting her in the driver's seat after taking away the Taelons and Jaridians and introducing the Atavus just sucked. I had to stop what I was doing and wrap my head around the fact that this was the same show, and I vowed then and there that I would pretend that season didn't happen. I suggest you do the same and watch only the first 4 seasons as this was an overall fun yet bouncy ride that any sci-fi fan would do well to survey--after all, anything Roddenberry is worth watching even if continuity goes out the window. A 6 out of 10 at best.

Gunn Gene Roddenberry never let his fans down. His death ended Sci-Fi legacy that will never be matched. Earth: The Final Conflict was proof! His pilot film and the first 2 Seasons were well written and meticulously produced, but somewhere along the way the Roddenberry touch was lost. The loss of lead, Kevin Kilner (William Boone) definitely hurt the series as he was a vital part of what made it work. The story involves the human race being visited by the Taelons, an extra-terrestrial race who dub themselves 'The Companions'. After 3 years they have given earth new technologies, helpful information about the Universe and more. Many question their intentions here on Earth. The main liaison on Earth between the races is Da'an (Leni Parker) and he is to many, the most trustworthy Taelon. Questions arise: just why are they here? what are their goals, is Da'an aware of any suspected plots against the humans? There is an underground group led by millionaire industrialist Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen) who utilizes his millions to investigate the Taelons. By the end of the First Season things are going well, Da'an seems trustworthy, Boone assists Doors in his investigation while working with Da'an and the Taelons as a liaison. In the middle of the 2nd Season things start unraveling and the once terrific and fascinating series spirals downward, mostly because Roddenberry had died and was not around to guide the producers, of whom his wife Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was co-producer. Still, the first Season remains intriguing and fun to watch.

ricknorwood The pilot episode written by Gene Roddenberry is excellent, but the show goes nowhere, all hugger mugger and no real story. Roddenberry's basic idea, that contact between humans and superior aliens will not be all black and white but will be filled with ambiguities, is a good one. Later writers, however, think in terms of good aliens and bad aliens. The use of female actors to play androgynous aliens was a good idea, but in later seasons everybody except Da'an overdoes it. In the third season, there are a number of scripts by Howard Cheykin, who is an excellent writer, and who wrote some memorable episodes of The Flash TV series, as well as some great graphic novels. However, he is unable to do anything here, because he is locked in to what is really not a workable story line. I have not watched the fifth season, but I have read that it throws out most of what was established in the first four. For scifi completists only.
