They killed off one of the best characters (frick what the expanded universe novels say) and inserted characters that had no fricking place in the series as a cheap gimmick. The only this more insulting would have been if Archer quantum leaped out of archer and ended up oh boying in a Ferengi
show didn't got renewed and the last season is basically a mashup of all the arcs they had prepared for 3-4 more seasons, and an improvised ending, probably, as Frakes always played the chef through the whole show, even when you never see his face until the ending.
we could had gotten a whole season of Terra Prime, and a proper build up to it.
i kinda want to blame Bakula for it, because the whole time travel thing was because Quantum Leap, even if it's not really his fault.
mostly this ; but the impression I got at the time was that Riker in this episode is facing a big decision. It may have been a command of his own; but it also may have been him at the moment in "The Pegasus" (TNG S7E12) where he has to decide whether to expose his old captain.

Brennan Braga has since regretted the ending, Bakula always hated it and apparently the only time he was ever mad at Braga was after reading the script for the finale.
The idea behind it was that Braga knew it spelled the end of the end of the era of Star Trek where it was one since the debut of Next generation, where Star Trek had a successor already running by the time the last Series ended. Because of that, Braga wanted to have a finale for the entire run of Star Trek as a homage.
So essentially, The last Episode wasn't the last episode of Enterprise, but instead was the last episode of the era. Whej you view it like that, it makes some sense why it was made the way it was.
However, Braga realized in retrospect, that especially since he and everyone knew it was the last season, more effort should have been done to plan a finale that really paid off the show.
I think the Ent finale would have been better received if it was reworked as a special episode in the middle of the season covering some different set of events more tailored to the issue Riker was facing.
Enterprise was a mess of a show because of studio interference. The Whole Temporal cold war was forced on the series, which fricked up the entire first 2 seasons. The Xindi Arch and season 4 was really what enterprise should have been, it should have been focused on the last steps in humanity "figuring it out" as it were. The only good thing the studio interference did was shoot down the idea to spend the first season 1 on earth and have the season finale be the launch of the Enterprise. That's moron, Star Trek without space.

that has kino potential, maybe a half season of that, with a mid-season special would had been great
Terra Prime was right
Finest 97 episodes of trek ever shown
you mean the Riker thing?
Yes
what's wrong with it? is it because it means the events you saw in the show didn't actually happen?

>Making it a holodeck episode
>Much less a TNG holodeck episode that spent half the time focusing on those characters
>Killing off Trip
Just off the top of my head

Why didn’t all the Vulcanoids (Vulcans, Romulans, Debrune ect) eradicate all Humans and settle Earth? They are literally superior in every single way.
A frick you to the audience

Yeah, and they did it anyway in season 2 of the Picard show.
Is Picard worth watching?
absolutely not.
only season 3
not even that, it shits on the other TNG characters
And that wasn't even the worst thing about season 2.

What the frick?
eat shit spamming threads while you're pushing a general
There's only one /trek/ thread right now and it's on page 9.
Carbon Creek is the greatest Trek episode
The same could be said for DS9.
