Late, when there's nothing but a dim glowing screen
That displays what you hide deep inside your drive
All alone in the night, with your hand gripping tight
and your cock stiff as steel, hard as stone
Well I feel my pussy, close my eyes, pinch my nipples
Wrap around, take a hold, of your cock!
What a feeling! Penis greasing!
You can see it all and I'm younger than your wife!
Take your pants off! And get your nuts off!
Pictures come alive when you come into your eye!
Now my tits are perky, rub my clit, spread my pussy
In a flash, you take hold of your cock!
What a feeling! Fiendish beating!
Keep your Lubriderm and your tissues standing by!
Pull your pants down! And make the saints frown!
Pictures come alive then you come into your eye!
What a feeling!
What a feeling (You are horny now)
Penis greasing (Look at porno now)
Pictures come alive then you come into your eye!
What a feeling (You can really see it all)
What a feeling (etc.)

No no no. Earth: Final Conflict is the best sci-fi on television in the past 20 years. Hands down.
The main characters had real emotions, unlike anything Star Trek produced since the second season of the original series. Say what you will about the production value, the people in it were dealing with real human emotions at a level that anyone with half a brain and half a heart could relate to. The Star Trek clones don't even come close.
Second, the stories themselves were damn good. When I was a production assistant during Alien Nation's first season (granted, NOT the best show ever made, but it did pay the bills), the biggest complaint I heard from the staff was that the stories were pointless and artificial. Everyone knew it, and it came out clearly in the show itself that nobody's heart was really in it. People don't want to watch people trot around with prosthetic vertebrae on their foreheads if they all just look like Michael Dorn but act like, well, Michael Dorn.
Look at the successful shows, from Sea Quest to Seinfeld... and what you've got are real people dealing with realistic problems. That's what you find in Earth: Final Conflict. That's why it's better than Stargate or even Star Trek, even Enterprise.
As for the production value, DS9 and Voyager and especially Enterprise are wasting their money on flashy effects which look like something I could crank out with my Commodore 64. Seriously... how many wide shots of a CGI space dock do we need to see to be reminded that we're in an imaginary space colony at the edge of the universe? Let's get back to the basics for once. E:FC didn't have to mess with all that to produce engaging stories with legitimate characters despite a lack of flashy effects or even the umbrella of the Star Trek franchise.
It's as if these days any wormy author who can secure a lavish budget can crank out a glitzy Star Trek clone. Earth: Final Conflict... now THOSE were the good old days.
I for one am excited that a console is finally being designed in the United States and manufactured in the United States. The US deserves some credit... we certainly play enough games, we should be the ones making them! Now if only we could move great companies like Electronic Arts into the United States, so we'd have great software to go along with great hardware.
I think the X-Box is a great chance for the United States to show the world what our own game machines are really worth. And we'd be doing the Japanese such a favor... they won't have to write such difficult code for the Dreamcast or GameCube or PS2 anymore... they can just spit out the code once and ship it as soon as it compiles. Game development will go into overdrive, and the quality of the products will finally reflect some AMERICAN standards of ingenuity, creativity, and stability.

Everyone knew it, and it came out clearly in the show itself that nobody's heart was really in it. People don't want to watch people trot around with prosthetic vertebrae on their foreheads if they all just look like Michael Dorn but act like, well, Michael Dorn.
Look at the successful shows, from Sea Quest to Seinfeld... and what you've got are real people dealing with realistic problems. That's what you find in Earth: Final Conflict. That's why it's better than Stargate or even Star Trek, even Enterprise.
As for the production value, DS9 and Voyager and especially Enterprise are wasting their money on flashy effects which look like something I could crank out with my Commodore 64. Seriously... how many wide shots of a CGI space dock do we need to see to be reminded that we're in an imaginary space colony at the edge of the universe? Let's get back to the basics for once. E:FC didn't have to mess with all that to produce engaging stories with legitimate characters despite a lack of flashy effects or even the umbrella of the Star Trek franchise.
It's as if these days any wormy author who can secure a lavish budget can crank out a glitzy Star Trek clone. Earth: Final Conflict... now THOSE were the good old days.
I for one am excited that a console is finally being designed in the United States and manufactured in the United States. The US deserves some credit... we certainly play enough games, we should be the ones making them! Now if only we could move great companies like Electronic Arts into the United States, so we'd have great software to go along with great hardware.
I think the X-Box is a great chance for the United States to show the world what our own game machines are really worth. And we'd be doing the Japanese such a favor... they won't have to write such difficult code for the Dreamcast or GameCube or PS2 anymore... they can just spit out the code once and ship it as soon as it compiles. Game development will go into overdrive, and the quality of the products will finally reflect some AMERICAN standards of ingenuity, creativity, and stability.
God Bless America, Goddammit!
