    I did some googling, the only thing that I can find about Roddenberry and Earth Final Conflict is a three page “pitch” that’s basically “what if aliens came to modern Earth and secretly enslaved everyone by literally mind controlling leaders and important people?”

    Oh, and it had a different name.

    So yeah. Not much involvement at all.

      well… he did die 6 years before it was made…

      his ex-wife, Majel “Lwaxanna” Rodenbery-Barrett starred in it and was also an Executive Producer, which might have had something to do with his being credited as creator.

        I’ve convinced myself that using his name practically in the title is about marketing. People watched it just because his name was on it.
