Enterprise Finale Synopsis Released 392

Posted by Zonk from the going-out-with-a-whimper dept.
exley writes "Trek Today is reporting that UPN has released a synopsis for the final two episodes of Enterprise, apparently confirming some of the rumors that have been circulating in recent weeks." From the article: "Enterprise will be the first Trek series since the original Star Trek not to end with a special two-hour finale. However, UPN has decided to air both 'Terra Prime' and 'These Are The Voyages...' on the same day, Friday the 13th of May, in an effort to still make a special event out of the show's end."

    "Terra Prime," will be a direct continuation of "Demons," scheduled to air on the 6th of May. In this episode, the Enteprise tries to stop a human isolationist leader, played by Peter Weller, who's threatening to destroy Starfleet Command. ... "These Are The Voyages..." will be set six years after the other fourth-season episodes, and will see Archer and the rest of the crew return home for the decommissioning of the Enterprise, as well as the signing of the Federation charter.

    Then Lexus will appear on the main view screen, the science officer will analyze it to be an early 21st century craft which ran on fossil fuels and contains a crew of accountants. The captain will order phasers set to kill and fired with extreme predjudice, while engineering hails the bridge to indicate all power has suddenly failed. A crew of workmen will enter the bridge and start dismantling things and taking away props, phasers and rubber ears. (similar to the old SNL skit)

      It is interesting to see Manny Cotto's (the new lead writer for this last season and a major writer for the 3rd season) hands all over this --

      Peter Weller - Lead from Manny's awesome and prematurely cancelly Odyssey5 series.

      set six years later - Odyssey5 was about astronauts that went back five years in time to prevent the destruction of the Earth, since Odyssey5 was cancelled they never had a chance to even do a "wrap-up" episode - so jumping six years later sounds exactly like the kind of "wrap-up" Odyssey5 would have had if they had known they were being cancelled.

      The Federation Charter was signed in 2161, according to an Episode of TNG (the one where Riker falls in love with a person from an adrongenous race, I believe). Enterprise started in 2152, and is ending if 2156, so we'll be missing Romulan War.
      I was always hoping that if the show ran for seven years, the last two seasons would deal with the four years of the Romulan war, and the last (few) episode(s) of the seventh season showing the formation of the Federation.
      It will still be good to see the formation of the Federation, though. The Romulan War is rumoured to be the basis of one of the plots considered for Trek 11, however, so not all is lost.

      Let's not take "official" trek history too seriously. TOS has the Eugenics Wars starting in 1993. TNG and First Contact has civilization more or less collapsing in the near future.

      One thing I can't abide about Trekkies is their compulsive need to tie up all loose ends and resolve all inconsistencies, no matter how trivial or uninteresting. The purpose of background is to help tell a story, not the other way around.

But it sucked, and sucked quick. I thought the guy from Quantum Leap would make a great actor for Captin of the Enterprise, but there was no chemistry with the cast. The shows had no excitement. And there was no science.

      Braga is saying it's series finale. Furthermore, he states that "nobody is surprised by this." Of course, this explains why he and Brannon bailed this season, and turned the reins over to Manny Coto, who has actually written stories that fit in the canon of the Star Trek universe, without having to rely on time travel for bloody well everything.

      I hope the Trek fans manage to salvage Enterprise - they should give Coto at least another season, and some decent advertising dollars, to demonstrate whether or not he and the rest of the remaining Enterprise team can put on a better show than B&B.

        The problem being, no matter how good the series is and could be under Manny Coto, it is tainted by what came before.

        Let me put it this way - say you're building a house, and you end up with a lousy contractor that slacks off, does all sorts of code violations, and lets the foundation get water and termite damage. You fire the guy, of course, and bring in the best contractor in the world, with one condition - everything that was done before has to stay in place, because you don't want to start all over again with another new house. The guy builds the friggin Taj Mahal for you, but it's built on the crappy foundation the first guy laid.

        The same goes with Enterprise. Manny's doing a pretty good job, but he's working with damaged goods. Oh, he can go back and brace up some of the sagging parts and he can build a fantastic new house, but it's still built on a foundation that was damaged by neglect by B&B. The other problem is - it's not really even his show. Oh, he's running it, but he's just the caretaker, it's still B&B's house.

        This is why I don't get the fan campaign to save Enterprise. LET IT DIE. Let Paramount feel the sting of two Trek failures in a row under Berman's rule. After a while, even the dumbest of studios has to recognize a time for change, and maybe then we'll have a Trek series we'll enjoy. Then people like Straczynski (or however you spell it) and Coto and such can come in at that point and do fantastic work with that series.

    • I think the reason ST:ENT is being cancelled is because Star Trek no longer has the huge following it once did. The Nielsen ratings indicate that not as many people watch ST:ENT as watched ST:TNG, ST:DS9, or even ST:VOY.

      Adding another blog will not change this. There are already many Internet outlets for discussion of Star Trek affairs, Viacom runs some of them. Star Trek fans give their opinions and anyone who writes for Star Trek can get feedback there.

    For that, give 'em the 2 hours. They have a lot to apologize for.

    Put a bunch of Trekkies on a set. Tell them they can't leave and must solve Star Trek style plotlines. One person will be killed each week (it'll be the ensign in the red uniform).

    Over here (Southern EU) we have seen the first season only, but I have to say Enterprise was very good.

    Every ST series reflects its era: the original series was like the heroic movies shot in the 50s (ala Spartacus); TNG was all very strong in characters, just like in the 80s we had mega-stars like Jackson and Madonna; and Enterprise is calm and very low-profile, just like the 'cool' and 'chillin' personalities of late 90s/early 2000. The difference can be summed up in the Captains' behaviour: Kirk would shoot first, then talk over the victim; Picard would not shoot unless a full philosophical analysis of the situation took place ; and Archer would be engaged in smalltalk until he found the right spot to shoot.
