Thanks for the memories!

Such a frustrating disappointment

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I enjoyed it from Episode 1, accept I thought Boons character lacked something, and I was not surprised that he was axed by Roddenberry, if the actor did not full fill his expectations they were written out. At first I thought it was going to be a bit of a 'flash gordon' style Sci Fi, but it developed especially the Taelons and Ron the head FBI and Companion security chief. He was great and kept character all the way through the 110 episodes.Well I enjoyed it, it held me in suspense, I thought some of the stories were below standard, but overall I thought it improved as series evolved. There were some great scripts, characters, and acting over all. I like the creation of the Taelon ship and the Taelons it was completely new. I would be pleased to own the series, and Majel Barratt had a hand in producing it. And acting too. It rated a good 8 in my opinion.

This series does exactly what Star Trek managed not to: Goes downhill fast. It starts off with aliens making contact with us, they're partially (well, mostly) energy beings, and they look awesome, they act all nice and all, they say they come in peace, and they give us a ton of technology to help overhaul the earth's problems. And then the other shoe drops. As the series progresses, more and more, they gradually become the evil aliens visiting earth under the guise of being good guys, they become a freaking TV trope. They perform horrific genetic experimentation on people, they execute people, at one point, there's this asshole, Zo'or, he's so mad about the theft of some stupid thing of theirs that he asks Sandoval (who, as far as he knows, is fiercely loyal to the aliens), where he comes from, when he tells him, he uses the Mothership weapons to wipe his birthplace out completely. And I WISH this was the worst atrocity they commit. Oh, but then some new BS pops up about Jaridians, another alien race they're at war with, and that's why they really came to earth. And then it's revealed that the Jaridians and the Taelons were once the same race or some BS, and went along split evolutions, and need to merge to fix it before they both die, blah blah blah. This, of course, means the humans take the brunt of the conflict, as the experimentation gets even worse. Oh did I mention they keep killing Boone? They killed him like twice in this series. The second time, they didn't even fully explain how he was reconstituted in the first place. Anyway, it gets worse and worse, and then just when you think it can't possibly go downhill even more, the Taelons and Jaridians both go essentially extinct and are removed from the show. Only to be replaced by Atavus, which are basically energy vampires or something. Also, several episodes were out of order in the DVD. The one guy who was slightly interesting, the chimera, lost his alien part in some stupid episode that made no sense whatsoever and thus lost everything interesting about himself.I watched it until the very end, and was severely disappointed. I expected some miracle to bring back the Taelons and Jaridians and allow them to live and go away, but instead, they just took the energy vampires away, who I couldn't have cared less about.FIVE stars out of TEN, ten for it being good, zero for what it became. So it evens out to five.

I never heard of this series when it was running...pretty busy during those years. I accidentally came upon it at Amazon and hunted down the first episode. I WAS HOOKED!! I can't stop! This series is amazing! Mystery, intrigue, twists and turns.....just when you think you know whats going to happen...BAM, something else happens! The story lines are extremely well written and the characters, and their development, are fabulous, especially the two main Taelon characters, Zo'or and Da'an. The actress who plays Zo'or is amazing at portraying haughtiness and arrogance! I love hating the character!I am in the middle of Season 3 and find it hard to stop watching one after another. I watched all five seasons of Andromeda two years ago, proclaiming it as my all time fav, but this series has knocked it out of first position. Earth Final Conflict is now my all time favorite and I HIGHLY recommend this series!

As many commenters have said, the S1 is truly genius and the rest can be ignored.Except the well planed characters, lots of social-psychology thinking, actually what I really like is the overall taste/style of S1. It's more like a slow and idea provoking poem rather than a bloody fighting modern story. I watched S1 around 2002. Then seek the rest like crazy. However, after I finally got all the rest, I even fell in sleep while watching! really. Like Steve Jobs' commented on Microsoft: the only problem is that it simply has no taste, not in the small way, but a big way.I think the only positive thing in S2-S5 is that Agent Sandaval survives till the end: he rocks!
