The End and The Future
Fan opinion remained deeply divided over the final season of Earth: Final Conflict. At the end of season 4, Liam tried to help the warring Taelons and Jaridians to find absolution, but the ending was left open. For the majority of season 5, Liam, the last of the Kimera, is assumed to be dead, but makes a deus ex machina return for the finale, leaving Earth forever with a band of assorted aliens and humans.

Famous quotes containing the words the and/or future:
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
