That's okay. I can't remember a lot of things either. If memory serves, he died during year 5 (of TNG), and there was a little "in memory" blurb on a two parter that Leonard Nimoy did.

I think the "Final Conflict" thing has to do with some idea he had a long time ago, maybe even shopped around with no luck. His wife Majel runs his estate.

The series "Earth: Final Conflict" and "Andromeda" were both ideas that Roddenberry had come up with but never been able to get produced. With the boom in television SF that took place in the 90's (in which the success of the new Star Trek series played a large part) his widow Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was able to sell both series and see them developed. "Earth: Final Conflict" ended after a five year run in syndication; "Andromeda" is currently in its fifth season, appearing both on the SciFi Channel and in syndication.

I've been to a few cons that had Majel as a guest. She's generally very gracious and whatever politics she actually entertains, she's generally classy enough not to parade in front of everyone.
