Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
I have never seen this. It has three stars on amazon tho. You know how bad something has to be to have three stars on amazon?
i don't know how much imma watch either. it has five seasons and i definitely will not be watching all of it
it starts with these guys discussing security for some event and their lips are slightly out of sync with their dialogue (maybe that's an amazon prime issue?)

omg they used a clone tool to make it look like they had a huge crowd 😆

i hate cop protagonists. they're boring. they're always written the same way. they may as well all be the same damn character and mostly they are boring af
so our protagonist is a cop and he works in this generic cop place where generic cop stuff is going on and has generic cop dialogue with this other guy

oh yeah William Boone is gonna be a mary sue isn't he?
constant, awkward use of a protagonist's full name is never a good sign on that front and now his wife is saying shit like this
i'm gonna hate william boone, aren't i?
i mean i already kinda do cause he's looks like archer so
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
so the assassin from earlier follows boon'es wife and rams her car and makes her crash but they couldn't afford to actually crash a car i guess so she just throws her arm up and they cut away to this while you hear tires screeching and a crash
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
the aliens want to inject William Boone with an engineered virus to make him smarter so he can work for them and lwaxanna says it also makes people obey them and she made a special version that won't do that part
i hope you're getting all this
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
as much as I don't like the character of Lwaxana, I have nothing but positive emotions towards Majel Barrett
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret I was about to say "Of Course she is. It's a Roddenberry show."
... but I don't recall seeing her in Andromeda.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@apLundell
She was an executive producer on Andromeda though.

@Taweret You ever notice that desk-bound police detectives are the only characters who still wear suspenders?
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret This is the show where all the heroes carry video phones right?
I remember the prop clearly, it's in two halves and they pull it apart and there's a screen in the middle that must have been rolled up.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@apLundell @Taweret I wear them at weddings. AMA.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret why does this look like a screenshot from a ps2 game
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
almost as cool as [protagonist name from the crabs book]
re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret

re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret any bets on how long she lasts until she gets fridged?
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret Such an old-fashioned looking police station for a futuristic sci-fi.
They must have just already had that set laying around.
re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret NOT EVEN THE FIRST FUCKING EPISODE, OH MY GOD DAMN
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret
I love it, a tombstone with "my wife" on it.
This show just gets it tee emm.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret
That and they can just have the image of the tombstone projected over him whenever they need to remind us his wife is dead
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret "If we don't take immediate action, your people might never evolve giant foreheads."
re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret that sentence is complete fucking gibberish. he might as well have thrown in "nano" and a couple of "quantums." "your nanoplanet is at a quantum evolutionary crossroads quantum." there I made it better
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret Yeah everyone knows it's only 10%.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret
Gene Roddenberry uses about half of a percent I think
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret Hey, that's up from the usual "10 percent" figure!
Progress!
re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret no, sheep-eyed-lookin-guy, say it isn't so
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret Mind control juice--got it.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret So these things can function as mind control devices?
That is a convincing reason to get a black-market version from a terrorist group.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret So, sort of capping from the Tripods.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
The Tripods was a master class in how to do pretty solid SF television on a very limited budget.
re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret "become sheep" LOLL WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY????
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret *Alex Jones voice* FALSE FLAG FALSE FLAG FALSE FLAG RRRRRRUUUUUH
re: Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret funny how all those people "using 100% of their brain" aren't just, y'know, having seizures. but this was the 90s, before fact checking was invented
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret the human body is 98% water, which includes the 70% of your brain you don't use, because it's water, not brain.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
@Taweret
Wow, 30%. That's the only time I haven't heard them say ten.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict, let's see how bad it is
this sequence goes on for several long, LONG minutes where the alien is giving this scifi boilerplate speech abut how they came to earth and cured diseases and ended world hunger and so forth
while this sniper guy is getting ready to shoot them
standard stuff you've seen millions of times
