I would like to humbly invite every Star Trek fan to watch Gene Roddenberry’s most doomed project, Earth: Final Conflict, and to slowly fall in love with its beautifully gray and nuanced androgynous alien named Da’an.
The series has nothing to do with Star Trek, but that’s precisely what makes it so fascinating. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a less optimistic perspective on first contact and its possible consequences across all fields of human development.
One of its strengths is that it’s very chronological, meaning (almost) no random, unnecessary romance plots here and there, and (almost) no filler episodes that interrupt its main storyline. It’s just as philosophical, but far more unpredictable and morally dirty than Star Trek in general.
The biggest problem being: the series is doomed in the most literal sense of the word. There are main character actor changes, some production mess, and pretty much everyone agrees the last season isn’t exactly a masterpiece. But overall, it’s still absolutely worth watching.
The design is also SO cool and unique! it really makes an impression and immerses you in the serie's universe and narrative.
That’s it. I don’t know who, if anyone, will come across this post, but my point stands anyway. Consider watching Earth: Final Conflict! (I really need more fics for this series 💔).
