So Enterprise has ended, and it's final hour was so disturbingly wrong; so not about anything to do with Enterprise; so much about Next Generation, that it didn't even feature any 'real' appearances by any of the Enterprise characters!?! And not only that - they killed off Trip; they, in the course of 40 some minutes killed him off, decimated the Trip/T'Pol story that has been building for years, which rang particularly false in the aftermath of the penultimate episode, and gave us emotional scenes, that were impossible to invest in, given the knowledge that this wasn't even the true, playing out of events as they happened within the Enterprise storyline, but was only a holodeck simulation, dreamt up by some guy in the future, or by two deeply stupid writers, who have managed to muck up just about every single Trek they've come into contact with. One of the big reasons that DS9 kicked ass, was because Berman & Braga didn't have as much control over that one. I've NEVER bashed them before, but this episode was the worst possible ending for Enterprise.

Now it makes an ok episode of Next Generation, except that Riker & Troi (while still looking amazing for their age), look very, very old compared to their year 7 appearances, where this episode wants to take place. Blah. I'm so sick. The last 2 seasons of Enterprise have been amazing; only to be shit on by this final B&B monstrosity.
