Star Trek: Enterprise -[Final Mission]- Stardate:503150. Final Log

[John Crichton]

I watched the series fairly regularly and I must say...parts of it were very good and I will miss it. However, for those of you who said the last episode left much to be desired...yeah... The weirdness of not getting to hear the speech everyone kept mentioning aside, the thing with Trip really bothers me. He doesn't even get an actual death. He's alive when the scene ends, and then suddenly his things are being packed up. And while I may be the minority on this one...I don't like the way things between T'Pol and Trip ended. Granted, I did always want them to work "things" out, but even if that wasn't going to happen- 10 seconds about how they have or havent missed each other over the last six years? And T'Pol mentions wanting to see Trip's family...but we don't get to see that either. Shesh. An entire episodes of raising my hopes just to let me down...

Yes, all the Trip (and T'pol) stuff was handled poorly. Seemed contrived and rushed.

The Trek fan in me really wants to argue about this comment...

...but I have to agree.

The Trek fan in me didn't even want to make the comment...

What about the fanboy in you?

Pretty much. I much more upset with Berman. At least Braga has contributed positively in the past to Trek. The only good thing about ENT failing is hopefully it has alerted Paramount that they have cancer. It is easily operable.

True. Though, I prefer to think of Berman as the malignant tumour, and Braga as the tiny, benign cyst. With some work, you can ignore or make better the latter.

Ouch. I was feeling bad for missing it. I tuned back in for the Voyager finale after not watching it for the last couple seasons, and felt silly for having done so -- it felt like another episode of Voyager, better than some but not as good as some of the others. (For whatever reason, my feeling on Voyager was that many of its best episodes, at least the ones that I saw, were the ones that were told from the point of view of someone else in the universe or that had the "Alternate Reality" freedom to go over the top -- I remember liking the "year from hell" bit, the "alternate crew from the demon world" episode, and the "history holodecking from a culture that remembers the Voyager crew incorrectly" episode, all of which aren't really the real crew, and all of which got to kill crewmembers and then have it not affect the show's main storyline.)

I'm glad I missed it, now. I haven't watched Enterprise since the second season. Didn't loathe it with a fiery passion, but it failed the "Is there nothing you would rather do than watch this?" test, and it sounds like the finale wouldn't have redeemed it for me.
