Terra Prime-A good finale, I think...

[Mach5]

I prefer to think that the series ends with Archer going into his speech to unofficially found the Federation.

That's how TATV ends.

LOL, no. TATV ends with "Computer, end program."

Well, if we're going to be technical, it ends with "no one has gone before."

I watched the episode last night, I'm rewatching the whole series with son. (Who likes ST, but not very much, since there is too much talking going on and too little fighting and why do they talk so much since they will end fighting anyway?)
Anyway, the very last words spoken in the episode as Trip and T'Pol hold hands are "and it sounds comforting somehow" refering to the possibility of human-vulcan offspring.
I know it's not big words spoken to big audiences, but I think it's a comforting ending, even for those who don't care about TnT pairing. It works for me, it is sad and I am sad knowing the series I love is ending, but there is the feeling of hope too.

TATV officially ends with me throwing up in disgusted agony

Not a good finale, a great one.

After all, it is the CANON ending to Enterprise.

I'm in agreement that Terra Prime should have been the finale to the series. It gave the Enterprise characters an epic adventure that was far better to the finale that did air.

Okay, how much do I love your son?

Up until about a hundred years ago, there was one question that burned in every human, that made us study the stars and dream of traveling to them, Are we alone? Our generation is privileged to know the answer to that question. We are all explorers, driven to know what's over the horizon, what's beyond our own shores. And yet, the more I've experienced, the more I've learned that no matter how far we travel, or how fast we get there, the most profound discoveries are not necessarily beyond that next star. They're within us, woven into the threads that bind us, all of us, to each other. The final frontier begins in this hall. Let's explore it together.

I soooo love this!
The only thing I didn't care for is seeing Trip and T'Pol there. I think they should have been allowed to remain on Enterprise with their baby.

You and me both, I loved the shot of the crew standing together, but I always found it odd, that knowing she was to die any second, Trip and T'Pol were planet side.

In that last Sickbay scene, when Trip and T'Pol are standing vigil over Elizabeth-- in the last shot, the baby's bioreadings drop to zero. Trip looks up helplessly, and T'Pol shuts her eyes in grief... because Elizabeth is gone.

So they didn't abandon her to go planetside.

I'm watching ENT for the first time, and have now gotten to Demons and Terra Prime. From what I hear about TATV, I think I'm going to do this: watch Terra Prime like it was the finale, and then stay away from ENT for a little while (I'm watching VOY for the first time, too. Blech) and then pop in TATV, and treat it like a "reunion special."

Oh, so they're grieving parents and they've been dragged down to the surface to hear a speech?

As an aside: I never noticed the bio reading. Now I have to break out my DVD and watch it again. Hmmm.... what a shame.

It's never made clear whether they were ordered down there, kicking and screaming, or whether they volunteered. Perhaps they wanted to be there. I'm thinking they wanted to go, since Trip was injured and likely could have declined due to injury.

I didn't see it either at first. If I had, I probably wouldn't have come up with the idea for "Happy Tears."
