Loved Enterprise and dont want to see it end on a duffer
Seriously, do yourself a favor and skip it (and I'm NOT kidding.) I have the 4 Season DVD set (I wish they'd release on Blu-Ray); and it's the one episode I have never watched on the set (saw the original broadcast first run).
You may want to be prepared to:Loved Enterprise and dont want to see it end on a duffer
1) look up some fanfiction that does a better job
2) break out the Enterprise relaunch novels
3)
Of course, you may like it. There are those who do. Good luck with that.
It's a flat ending, but refusing to watch it altogether's going way over the top. My reaction when I first saw it was "That's it?"
I saw it once on one of those Fan Collective DVDs and thought it was just passable as a regular episode but did not make much sense overall let alone be worthy of bein the series finale. I liked seeing Frakes and Sirtis again but they really deviated from the story much as it was.

Still terrible after all these years. I wonder does Sky Atlantic plan to show DS9 and TNG?
Actually, Bermaga pitched it as a "Valentine" to the fans of all of Star Trek, even tho the only reference to TOS was the fly-bys of the three Enterprises after the episode ended (and that was Mike Sussman's idea). Nothing for VOY and DS9 fans.
Well that is bad. I assume Berman was operating on all cylindars when he came up with that?
I tend to think of it as a TNG episodes.
As for why Sky Atlantic don't show TNG or DSN, with the former I suspect that's because the rights are with CBS Action. Which is currently airing TNG. As for DSN perhaps CBS Action also hgas the rights and is waiting for TNG to finish it's run first.

If he had been, that episode would have been better.
Still, it wasn't THAT bad. Seven years has tempered my dislike for it somewhat, but I still get annoyed at the plot holes sometimes.
Watched the episode and my overall feelings were of sadness and disappointment. God knows how the regular cast must have felt doing those scenes with "Chef" Ryker.
It felt more like a throwaway TNG episode and had no common ground with Enterprise series 4.
Why kill off Trip ???
Made no sense to me at all.
Enterprise had evolved and grown in stature during seasons 3 and 4, to pull it when they did was premature, and the way they ended it was very poor indeed.

This is correct. CBS Action has the rights to TOS, TNG and DS9.
Sky Atlantic has Voyager and Enterprise.
Agreed, it was short-sightedness at its worst in my view. Where would we as fans be had they cancelled TNG or Ds9 mid-run? I also do not think killing Trip off served any real purpose other than an attempt at dramatic license. One which failed miserably, if I may say so.
Just watched the episode, first time since it was broadcast, and it still leaves that sour taste in the mouth.
One thing that came to mind watching it again was the problem with it being "set" in the holodeck... the Enterprise crew become characters in a 'period drama'. I sat there thinking that "how did they know that Phlox said that to the Captain" etc.
I agree with what's been said above, it really does boil down to a TNG episode... and a not very good one at that.
I'm sure that's all been said before many times over, but I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

The worst part about it being a bad TNG episode specifically is that the ep it's allegedy set during (The Pegasus) is, IMO, one of TNG's best. It gets cheapened by Riker apparently thinking OUT OF NOWHERE, "I wonder what Archer was up to?" in the events of that ep. I watched it recently and there's really NO point where it fits the mood of The Pegasus or would fit timing-wise.
I think I said something similar in an older thread, but no matter what you think of ENT, *no* Trek show deserves to have a holodeck episode finale. That's just cruel and unusual.

They should have gone out in a blaze of glory. Something like how STVI wrapped the original cast's onscreen adventures would have worked just fine.
I say they all shoud've died trying to save the real Kobayashi Maru from the Klingons. Or at least had the final episode end with them getting the distress call from the beginning of "Wrath of Khan", and we fade out as Archer orders an intercept course...
