If you don’t like Star Trek, are opposed to the very idea of Star Trek, and if the words “Star Trek” are synonymous in your mind with “math club,” you may be excused. The rest of you, pay attention: the fourth season of Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict begins this week in syndication, and there’s going to be a quiz.
The Taelons and Jaridians are at war. Kincaid, a human/Kimerian hybrid, is determined to learn the Taelons’ secret motives. Lili, meanwhile, has returned to Earth with her Jaridian lover and a human/Jaridian baby. Zo’or, in a heavy-handedly biblical move, orders Sandoval to kill the child. A new world government is born, and and this season we meet J Streett, a beautiful young cyberpunk who likes to battle alien colonization in vinyl hiphuggers.
Okay. Deep breath. Maybe you can fake it for a few episodes, and pick stuff up as you go along. Or visit a fan site and hope they can fill you in. But give it a chance—the first couple seasons were slow, but E:FC is really hitting its stride now. The effects have also gotten much better, which cuts way down on the cheese factor. And the Taelons are still far and away the most quietly creepy aliens ever to appear on TV. Check ’em out!
