Enterprise Finale Synopsis Released
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."
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)

Let the Friday the 13th! jokes commence...
concrete5: a cms made for marketing, but strong enough for geeks.
that Friday the 13th is the last day for Star Trek Enterprise. Maybe it's no such bad luck after all. Now all we need is someone to step on a crack and break Braga and Berman's backs, and the circle of life will be complete.
See here for the plot details that got leaked earlier!
(For the moderators who can't be bothered to click on the link before modding me down, the link is to the story about "ripples" explaining the universe and obviating the need for dark energy. It's a joke. Laugh.)
Long Live Enterprise (in syndication, just like the other 'Treks.)
"What do you think?" "I think 'What, do you think?!'"
UPN has officially confirmed that Jonathan Frakes (William T. Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) will appear on the Enterprise finale, in a sequence set on the holodeck.
So "Enterprise" was just one big holodeck fantasy novel? Hooray!
Does Captain Archer finally find his way back into his own time/body?
Friday the 13th will come on a Friday that month! I'll have to watch the TV from underneath my bed.
So, what is most unluck about that day? Having to see the end of the series? Actually the idea of seeing the show wrapped up with a show set several years later is rather interesting, giving some opportunity for hindsight. It would be nice if more shows ended their run like that, but usually the axe just falls and the show fails to appear in its time-slot.

There is reportedly one cracking good scene with a massive fight and a heroic rescue by Archer of one of the commemorative pens used to sign the charter. This promises to end Enterprise in the way we've come to expect. I know I'll be on the edge of my seat.
Geeks
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
The fact that the this bastardization of Trek is ending should make it a special event in an of itself. ;)
Enterprise will be the first Trek series since the original Star Trek not to end with a special two-hour finale. Its not the two-hour finale because Enterprise isnt done. http://www.trekunited.com/
In other news, my girlfriend has decided to dump me and announced she is going to date my best friend all on the same day to make it a special occasion! Oh the joy.

Archer and the enterprise get thrown back in time in a desperate attempt to prevent the series from ever being created.
why did Enterprise disappear for the month of March?
Wormholes? Maybe they had some untelevised adventures. The characters do have a life outside the show, you know.

"At least it was better than DS9. That was enough to make even hardcore fans swear off Star Trek altogether. "
I know. I hate decent acting, character development, and interesting plot arcs too.
Someone summon congress to hold an emergency session to create a special law that will allow us to reinsert Trek's feeding tube, despite the wishes of it's legal caretaker.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Dear Enterprise producers,
This is karmic payback for the DUMBEST OPENING THEME SONG IN THE HISTORY OF TV.

An opening theme song should set the stage for what the audience can expect from the show. After watching the show, I'd say the song is a perfect match.
Likewise, the later revison to the opening also fits well with the past few seasons: too little, too late.
At the end the little autistic boy wakes up and you realize it was just a construct of his imagination.

... would be if all the writers from all the seasons of Enterprise came out on camera and apologized.
For that, give 'em the 2 hours. They have a lot to apologize for.
Read my blog.
"There hasn't been a good Star Trek movie or TV show in years. Quit beating a dead horse. It's over, move on. Hollywood has run this one into the ground. It reminds me of the Holloween movie franchise."
You didn't like it and somebody with a mod point agreed with you. Whoop-de-fuck.

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).
