Enterprise Finale Synopsis Released

Posted by Zonk on 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."

  1. Final Voyage... by ackthpt · · Score: 5, Funny
    "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)

    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!

      So the surprise ending is Riker and Troi find Patrick Duffy in the shower?

      I wish. It's set on the Enterprise-D (TNG season 7), not the Titan.

      I'm sure the makeup people were begging for time travel when Berman told them to make Riker and Troi look 11 years younger...

    Does Captain Archer finally find his way back into his own time/body?

  4. The signing of the Federation charter... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.

    The fact that the this bastardization of Trek is ending should make it a special event in an of itself. ;)

    Archer and the enterprise get thrown back in time in a desperate attempt to prevent the series from ever being created.

    "I'm not a trek nut.. wasn't the federation formed in reponse to the end of the war between us and the romulans?"

    Denial is often a key indicator of a serious problem.
