Like [[Andromeda]], this is a show [[Gene Roddenberry]] managed to create while being in his grave; it was actually more an effort of his wife. All things Gene Roddenberry demanded from ''[[Star Trek]]'', like a positive view on the future, no internal character conflicts and make exploration, not war, are completely gone. The only ''Trek'' it baresbears the vaguest of resemblance to is ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|DS9]]'' for the prominence of <s>spiritual blurry lights</s> properly masked dei ex machina, the everlasting feel that it '"was all meant to be'" and in no uncertain term the multidimensional properties of both the [[Villains]] and the [[Good Guy]].
 
The series lasted from October, 1997 to May, 2002., Aproducing a total of 110 episodes in five seasons. As the title might suggest it takes place on Earth, a very lethal place as all characters seem to die off very swiftly after being introduced. One(This was one of the only series to kill ofoff its lead after the first season.) At the start it has been three years back since a [[Sufficiently Advanced]] alien race called the Taelons came to Earth who quickly proceeded to remove all hunger, poverty, illness from the human populace and win the admiration of the public at heart. Naturally it turns out they have some form of hidden agenda.
 
It takes [[Exclusively Evil]], tells it it sucks and then throws it through an ID-Portal into space. Most alien species seem even more divided than humans in their political goals and even more in how to achieve them. The Taelons aren't outright evil at all, the Taelon characters are as diverse in how evil they are as the [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|human ones]]. And it turns out to be a lot more complex as both species are intertwined into some [[Deus Ex Machina|extremely vague]] purpose and need each other for survival. The second main character also was an [[Half-Human Hybrid|alien hybrid]]. In a lot of ways, it was like ''[[V (TV series)|V]]'' only ''much'' more complex and with no clear good guy, bad guy or motivations.
 
[[Ruined FOREVER|And then came season 5]]. Season 4 ended on an extremely vague and ambiguous cliffhanger with all the fans hoping it would finally reveal the big purpose the show was building up to. But no, giant let down and season 5 was more like a [[Spin-Off]], considering the shows [[Anyone Can Die|turbulent character roster]], it dropped most of the roles from the last season too and introduced new ones.
 
== The cast included ==:
 
* Liam Kincaid, [[Half-Human Hybrid|alien hybrid]], despite being born in the second season with the rest watching has a [[Mysterious Past]]. Also a [[Deus Ex Machina]] incarnate, but it serves to elaborate upon said past. He is also the [[Last of His Kind]]. Stuck in the middle with divided loyalties between himself, [[La Résistance]], The Taleons, and one particular Taelon, Da'an.
