Enterprise Finale *SPOILER ALERT*
The rumor now is that:
According to aintitcoolnews.com (okay, not exactly a source of rock-solid info), Jolene Blalock has referred to the final episode as "appalling".
Curious to get what other fans think...

Isn't it funny how the token hot chick on the show is parroting the views of a legion of fanboys?
I've read the spoilers, and, if anyone is familiar with Mark Millar's "Wanted" comic book, the final shot should be a close-up of Brannon Braga screaming "This is my face while I'm fucking you in the ass!"

Firstly, it makes sense that B&B would demand to write the final episode for themselves, unfortunately, making it almost certain that it would suck.
I think that the original rumor has been twisted somewhat, however:
Still, I have no doubt that the supposed "gift to the fans" that B&B have cooked up will end up smelling like a turd. I think we can take Blalock at her word when she describes the finale as "appalling." Her other comments about the show are fairly on track. Her comments, spoiler-free, from a new article on women in scifi, are here.

When Enterprise first started, I gave it a chance since I was a fan of the OS, NG, DS9, and 10 episodes of Voyager.
I didn't care for their interpretation of "history" and stop watching after the first season.
My friend kept on watching and he liken to watching a car wreck every week, he always gave me his sypnosis of the episodes.
I told him that the last episode would be akin to what that rumor is.... That to me makes Enterprise worst than it was made out to be. I hope Star Trek takes a long nice 15 year break come back when they can think of a series about the future.

This would suck. Screw the trekkies. Enterprise should be cannon just as much as any of the other series are considered cannon. If Enterprise doesn't count, then what do people have for the beginnings of Starfleet? Just crappy fan fics.

This is so lame, what a perfect way to end ST's worst series. At least they managed 1 good season out of 4 though.

You go girl!!
The Toronto Star website just posted an exclusive interview with STAR TREK ENTERPRISE star Jolene Blalock, in which she criticizes the final episode, titled "These Are The Voyages", and talks about the fan campaigns and the current fourth season. Here are a few excerpts :
"It is sad," said Blalock about the show's cancellation "I think most of us here are still in active denial. But you've got to know, going in, that these last few days are going to be highly emotional."
She wonders how the show opened with 13 million viewers and "somehow managed to drive 11 million of them away".
She praised the writing in the fourth season "[Season 4] was a treat, a joy to do." she told the Toronto Sun "It was an unexpected surprise to have the scripts that we did (this season). And I am grateful and thankful for that. It was fun to come to work again. And it was certainly much better than spending another season doing what we had been doing. It said a lot about the potential of the show."
When asked about the series finale, she said "[awkward silence]...I don't know where to begin with that one. The final episode is ... appalling."
Jolene feels sorry for the fans and praised the fan campaigns to save the show "I really am touched by their outpour of support, and their display of passion for the show. I was sort of caught off-guard. I didn't know that they were so adamant. But, you know, they really aren't saying anything new. They're just saying it louder."
About her upcoming unemployment, she revealed "I'm just coming from an audition right, and I'm very excited about it. I love auditioning, the entire process, going out and meeting people in the industry. It's been four years since I've been out pounding the pavement, and I miss it. It's a place of the unknown, and a place of infinite possibilities. And I like that."

Braga news. Any bets on how generic this show will be with Braga at the helm?
According to the Hollywood Reporter, TNG actor Brent Spiner ('Data') has signed to star in THRESHOLD, the upcoming CBS science-fiction series produced by former STAR TREK producer Brannon Braga. It is his first regular role in a television series since STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION ended its run in May 1994.
