I believe Many Coto stated that the Terra Prime double ep should be considered ENT's finale, though you would have to state that in any kind of poll otherwise it will be TATV people are discussing.
Your favorite "Trek" finale season

DS9 for me --The plot twists, story arc, cliff hangers, and the character changes were great. I think the 6th season was even better though. The Emissary showdown part -meh
Voyager's was good, had some interesting episodes, but to me a lot of it became the "Seven of Nine/ Doctor variety show". And something was always just missing from that show.
TNG? Their seventh season was pretty famous for being rather boring. How many times can you stand to watch another 'alien telepathic invasion" episode? Or 'the ship is alive' or 'something is wrong with the ship's computer' episode?
Enterprise--for me, it started flat, and never built up enough momentum for me to stay with the whole series. But now upon watching some stray episodes, I kind of like how free and liberal they were with the last season. The last episode--meh
The Enterprise had a sort of freedom that all the other shows couldn't have.

Here is a question, the Emissary thread, and Bajor applying for Federation membership were set up in the pilot. The payed off the Emissary part, but I thought for sure Bajor would gain full membership during the final season, and they would have a ceremony showing the UFP flag updated with a new star for the Bajor System.
I don't remember reading anywhere if they considered paying that off or not?

Well Bajor was granted admisssion in "Rapture" though it never took place. Though I guess they could have ended the show with Kira in a Starfleet unifrom to show the process of admission underway.
And where do you get this idea that the stars on the UFP Flag represent the stars of the home system of member worlds?
Bajor entering the Federation doesn't sound like a hugely exciting plot point.
My winning vote goes to Enterprise: Season 4. This season was amazing, and it was heartbreaking to have the show cancelled when it reached its true peak. The plots were amazing, the show finally felt like Trek should, the Reeves-Stevenses (LOVE their ghost-writing work for Shatner's novels) were brought in, and all of the continuity was a true treat. Just about every episode in this season was good, outside of the boring "Home" and the middling "Daedalus."
Second place goes to Voyager Season 7. Many good episodes here, with the conclusion to "Unimatrix Zero," "Flesh and Blood," "Shattered," "Author Author," "Workforce," and a few others. I even liked "Endgame." Only a few true clunkers like "Lineage."
Beyond that, it gets kind of muddy for me...
DS9: Season 7 has some enjoyable episodes, but I really thought the show wasn't nearly as good by this point. Too many dark, depressing episodes like "Siege of AR-558," and boring episodes like "Paper Moon." The action was good on occasion, but it didn't really feel like Trek at this point, too drowned in the Dominion War. The finale using stock footage really left a sour taste in my mouth. Not terrible, mind you, but not amazing either.
By Season 7, TNG had fallen on hard times after its first three-and-a-half amazing seasons. There are still a handful of good episodes though, like "Genesis," "The Pegasus," "Parallels," and "Gambit," but on a whole, this was a forgettable, dull season.
TOS Season 3 is pretty good, and not as dreadful as TNGs and DS9s last season. Highlights include "The Enterprise Incident," "Day of the Dove," "The Tholian Web," "Elaan of Troyius," and "Battlefield," among others. A pity about the slashed budget, though.

Has to be DS9, but then again it is my favourite series. Especially like the finale, when they go off their separate ways after winning the war.
ENT was a pretty decent final season, and really did make up for its weak start. That is until they really cocked it up with TATV.
By VOY last season I had pretty much stopped watching the Seven of Nine Show. I saw the last episode, but there were things in it that made no sense to me (Neelix finally being kicked off, Chakotay and Seven now an 'item').
TNG's last season was pretty weak compared to the rest of the series, but overall it was great so I always let them off a little.
As for TOS it has been years since I last saw any episodes so I couldn't really say one way or the other.
