What a terrible finale! *Spoilers*

[Deckerd]

Not on this board, I'm afraid... In this place people are actually allowed to like that piece of shit. Some of them will even rub it in your face now and then.

The only people who likes this "thing", I think it should be the same one that are guilty for ending the show..."The great" TNG Trekies which didnt like it because story is, imagine that, before all other shows...man still cant understand that..

Mach5, Cmdr Data... the point of a discussion board is to share a variety of opinions. An atmosphere of civility is to be preferred, in order for folks to feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Denigrating a group of people simply because their viewpoint differs from yours is not cool. They have as much right to express their views, and be treated with courtesy, as you do.

Also, chaps, it's only a TV show.

Making the finale somekind of "baton passing back to TNG" exercise pretty much ruined it for me. Having Arik Soong (who was at least a boné fide and unusual ENT character) was about as much of a nod as fans needed in that direction frankly. I'm sure if you'd worked within the Trek factory back in 2005, TNG were definitely the glory days of high ratings and massive media interest.

This is actually something I liked about the episode. The final episode of Enterprise was, well, greater than just the final episode of Enterprise - it was the conclusion to a whole era of Star Trek. What we now and then called the Berman era, because Rick was there was a producer from TNG's first season all the way to ENT's final year.

It made sense, then, for the episode to reference to popular highlight of those years, which was TNG - good or bad, all the series that followed were merely riding the dwindling tidal wave and goodwill spurred by TNG's popularity until there was, in the end, nothing left.

 

[Deckerd]

Hardly nothing. Enterprise might not have been the most popular ST but it fared better than some. I would say there's a tremendous amount of goodwill out there.

 

[Kegg]

Hardly nothing.

Very little, then. It's not a comment on ENT's quality - cult successes like DS9 also bled viewers. That show almost didn't get a seventh season, believe it or not.

 

[Deckerd]

'Almost' and 'nearly'; those weasel words.

 

[Kegg]

'Almost' and 'nearly'; those weasel words.

I didn't say 'nearly', and in context 'almost' isn't being used in a weaselly sort of way. This thing - DS9 ending in S6 - is something that was considered a real possibility by the show's producers. Hence, 'almost.'

I can't resist reposting these (from the general discussion forum):

I didn't say you did.

Ah-ha!

I' just made a point...nothing else ..and said my opinion about TATV..

 

[Triskelion]

Mach5 inspired me...

Oh, you kooky Star Trek writers, forgetting that people age. I will say that from what I've heard, I think going back to The Pegasus is stupid (and I love that episode). It'd be a better use of TNG (if you MUST have them in another series finale anyway) to fast-forward to Riker as Captain of the Titan, and dealing with some new issue.

 

[Alpha_Geek]

Then again I think he was also the one that called it a "gift" to the fans.

TATV: The cheezy plaid tie of ST:ENT

 

[Sovay]

I actually JUST finished ENT last night, and yeah, the last episode was fairly lame. It would have been a good episode without a fat old Riker sticking his face in all over the place and confusing the storyline with TNG drama (which has always been a lot less exciting than real drama) I don't care about. What a way to totally cheapen ENT as a series... Maybe a TNG/ENT crossover would have been a good episode somewhere in the middle of the series, like the way In a Mirror, Darkly crossed over with TOS, but as the finale? Really?

ENT is good, TNG ruined it.

...

Also, am I the only one who made physical movements to punch Riker in the face when he kissed T'Pol?

He didn't kiss T'pol, he kissed a holographic representation of a long dead Vulcan hottie who looked like T'pol, only with a slutty hairdo.

Okay, so he only kissed her on cheek... Now imagine what he must have done with her off screen...

BTW, people, the majority of Trekkies worldwide picks this episode as a winner, remember? Now quit bitching and start being grateful for the valentine, okay?

Desperate TNG'ers trying to recapture the dullness...

I still have my fingers crossed for another TV show to start up. I really don't care when or where it is set just another Star Trek show post Rick Berman.

I will not be grateful!
The whole thing was embarrassing! And I don't care, I still wanted to punch Riker! (still do in fact)

 

[ChristopherPike]

They've got my number alright... I'm a complete and utter ingrate.

Imagine not wanting Enterprise's thunder stolen by the Trek equivalent of an ex-girlfriend crashing the party, diverting attention from whose farewell 'do' it was supposed to have been. They had already had theirs with Nemesis and ENT played no part in jinxing that. Terra Prime can rightfully be regarded as a great curtain call but was it really right to give TNG characters' yet another farewell, by bodysnatching another show's encore? *Uuh-uhh*

 

[RandyS]

Good things, we did get to see the hint of the beginning of the Federation.
Bad thing, they killed off Trip.

Actually, that was the one good thing about this episode.

Even if it was written moronically.
