The finale *did* feel like a TNG episode more than an ENT episode, they
didn’t show the speech at the end (ripoff & buildup to nothing), and
that whole thing bit revolving about TNG/Pegasus was a worthless fluff
gimmick, but all that was minor compared to the following:
Why the hell did they kill off Trip??? The whole thing rang false.
Archer saves him earlier in the episode, so Trip decides to save Archer
and without a doubt get himself killed in the process? That was suicide.
What?...did Trip suddenly develop a death wish or something between
"Terra Prime" and "These Are the Voyages"? Archer wasn’t doing something
that would *definitely* get hinself killed when he saved Trip. The whole
encounter with the alien criminals in the halls of the Enterprise, Trip’
s behavior before Archer got knocked out, and then Trip’s death a couple
minutes later felt artificial, forced, and like it was made up by
someone not even remotely qualified to write fan fiction. Trip died *for
nothing*. It was a waste of a good character, and after they'd been
building up the Tripp/T'Pol thing all season.
The Enterprise series finale should be stricken from the record, and
Manny Coto should be allowed to make a proper series finale. Trip isn’t
dead. "These Are the Voyages"......never......happened. Star Trek -
Enterprise ended with "Terra Prime."
