Enterprise *2 hour Series Finale* 05/13/05
Episode title: “Terra Prime”
Spoiler:
Director: Marvin V. Rush
Teleplay By: Judith Reeves-Stevens & Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Manny Coto
Story By: Judith Reeves-Stevens & Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Andre Bormanis
Episode Title: “These are the Voyages….”
Spoiler:
Director: Allan Kroeker
Written By: Rick Berman and Brannon Braga
As pilot called it a few weeks ago, it doesn’t appear B&B are doing a podcast commentary on the finale.
The Reeves-Stevens’ podcast for “Terra Prime” should be out tomorrow. 
Although I’m OK with this series coming to an end, it’s a very weird feeling having the last of the first-run Star Treks after 18 years.

Ouch. Here's a finale (spoiler) review, but the best part is non-spoiler and bolded.

Beam me down some aspirin.
Ten minutes of this dreck and you'll be trying to give yourself a Vulcan neck pinch.
"This is not about me,'' Capt. Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) says late in the one-hour finale "These are the Voyages . . .''
If this really is "Star Trek: The Last Generation,'' blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of co-creators and writers Michael Berman and Brannon Braga, who have stewarded the "Trek'' franchise for the last 15 years through increasingly turgid films and series.
There's still unexplored life in the "Trek'' galaxy; it's time for some new captains.

The final episode is apalling!
After a great 4th season, the show looks to be going out with a whimper

Even though I'm not a big fan of her acting or her character, I will say Blalock seems to understand the franchise more than the people behind the cameras. Most of her comments have been pretty spot-on.

These are no longer the voyages of the Star Trek: Enterprise (UPN, Friday, 8 ET/PT), which ends its series run with a two-hour finale that features two guests from the more successful Next Generation, Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis. Enterprise won't be much missed, but before it goes — taking the franchise with it — let's get one thing clear. The show didn't fail because of Trek exhaustion. It failed for the same reason many shows fail: bad writing in general and an insufficiently developed premise in particular. Enterprise was less a show than an idea for a show, and you can only force so long a run out of that.
The critics know it, the fans know it. It's just sad that B&B never did.

The funny thing is here in Phoenix we don't even get both episodes. The Suns game is on tonight, so we get the finale, with the conlclusion episode for last week being shown on Sunday night. Luckily both are being shown back to back on Sunday, so I'll just watch then.

I can't beleive it!
This will be the last Star Trek episode I'll ever see....
I rememember the first time I saw Star Trek....I was 7, living in Toronto, and saw a episode of ST: TNG in 1989 on CityTV..and I began watching it every day (they had reruns of the first 2 season every day) And gradualy,I started to watch the new episodes every week . Now 16 years later, it come to it's end...it is a sad day!
I just hope that one day....they do bring it back!
Farewell Star Trek.............

Why double up tonight, instead of showing the finale next Friday night if the first episode tonight isn't a 2-parter leading into the finale? (Or does tonight's episode lead into a 2-parter finale?)

But doubling up on episodes, and having only a one hour finale, is disgraceful treatment for a franchise that has made - and continues to make - money hand over fist for Paramount. It just seems like they couldn't close the door on this one fast enough, despite all the good it's done for the studio.
"Terra Prime" shot -

once again the good guys are dumb
when they stormed the control room they should have yelled "I'll buy that for a dollar!" and shot Murphy and pal before they could react

but considering chloe is the best of the supporting cast of smallville I wouldn't take my comment negatively
