Heard all the chatter about the many different changes that have occured on Earth: Final Conflict, but never had a chance to witness them yourself?
The Sci-Fi Channel is giving you that opportunity beginning Aug. 6 when it begins airing episodes of the show's past Monday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET.
The cable channel intends to show the episodes in chronological order, as it does with most of the series it picks up. Aug. 6 will start with the EFC pilot, "Decision" that was actually written by Gene Roddenberry years before his death when he was considering launching a series called "Battleground Earth." The story focuses on a police officer named William Boone who helps save North American Taelon Companion Da'an from an assassination attempt.
Before he knows it, Da'an is offering him a job with the Taelons, which Boone immediately turns down because of his wife, (played by Andromeda's Lisa Ryder). However, his wife is suddenly killed in a car explosion, and Boone is thrust into a world where he has to play a double agent, working with Da'an's emotionless protector Ronald Sandoval while also serving as the highest ranking member of the human resistance, being led by Jonathan Doors who faked his death in the assassination attempt.
The episode also has a guest appearance by Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the executive producer of the series and widow of Gene Roddenberry, who played a regular guest role in the series during its first season.
