Earth: Final Conflict - Season 5

Good show

What can be said about Earth Final Conflict's season 5? If you were a fan of Gene Roddenberry, most likely you were an EFC fan as well. Season five wrapped up the series and in some ways, the writers seemed to loose their way some. While still entertaining, the story-lines seemed to get off track from the original theme. I guess when series writers are notified that they will be out of a job soon, they turn into slackers who just write whatever to fulfill their contracts and end the series.Anyhoo, I have the entire EFC series on DVD and enjoy watching it from time to time. In season five, the Talons are all but gone and a new alien has replaced them. The acting is good but as I mentioned before, the story-line suffers. Many of the original cast are gone as well. Why couldn't EFC had a great ending line Star Trek - TNG?If you have the other EFC season DVDs, you need to get this one as well. Enjoy.

Got to watch final episodes

For those of us who like Science Fiction, this is a good story. Aliens abound and heroes too! Enjoy the vision of Gene Roddenberry in this story of aliens coming to Earth, sharing the technology they have, but do they have a hidden agenda? Watch the resistance movement spring up to keep Earth safe for humans. Engaging story line will keep you amused for many hours.

For the most part I was bored with the first 4 seasons of this show, but the last one puts an entirely different spin. It creates more personalized tension on the part of the characters and more introspective intrigue which I find fascinating. Renee Palmer along with a few friends is constantly fighting the Atavus whose leader Howlin eventually wants to marry Renee. That is twisted and amusing at the same time! Renee sort becomess a leader for the rebel cause but a sympathizer to all those who don't agree with what Howlin is doing on Earth. This season shows more intrapersonal conflict associated with the characters.

Writers/Producers take risks, and they certainly did with the fifth season. While most people agree it was the least entertaining of the five seasons, I think the (virtual) absence of the Taelons, the introduction of the Atavus, and having only one original cast member on-contract forced the writers to be more creative with plot lines and guest roles. Cameos by the likes of Kevin Kilner and Robert Leeshock helped.

this is the last season for the series. this season is not as good with the introduction of the Atavus that feed on humans and even turn humans into hybrids to repopulate their race. Renee feels all alone and struggles to fight the aliens and keep her sanity. I really liked the last episode that brings back a character from the past. Also a character from the first season resurfaces in a couple of episodes and falls in love with Renee.

Earth Final Conflict is average, it does not compare with some of todays sci-fi shows, and is corny at times which detracts from what can be a interesting story (when it is consistent which is not all the time as the show disregards previous story lines that are contrary to new story lines with out explaining). the most interesting thing about this show is the actress that plays Renee Palmer I am unsure if I would have persevered with this show if the main character was not so attractive. Over all Earth Final Conflict is an okay, for a show that appears to have been made for day time TV Earth: Final Conflict S5

it is on dvd his it on region two ok

The last season of this show is incredibly bad compared to the rest of the series. All the best characters and actors are gone, the special effects have been downgraded, the new villains are trope-filled bags of clichés, and the ending is anticlimactic.

This is a great series and the quality is great.

Great memories
