Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight

Posted by Zonk on Friday May 13, 2005 @05:27AM from the that's-all-she-wrote dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "Be sure to tune in to UPN tonight, where they're going to show the 'true finale' of Enterprise with the episode Terra Prime, followed by the post-season coda, These Are The Voyages. The latter will feature appearances by Troi, Riker, and a completely CGI Enterprise-D."

"Meanwhile, far in the future, Troi suggests that Riker use a Holodeck recreation of this moment in 'Star Trek' history to search for some command insights."

Who's the creative genium behind that one?

  Well, we knew it wasn't because they all had dates. The improbability of that would require a Hitchhiker's Guide event, and not a Star Trek one.

Sadly enough, I've gotten into loud arguments about whether Picard or Kirk was the better captain. It's a symptom of my horrible geekdom. For those of you wondering, by the way, it's Picard.

Why do they have to cancel a fantastic show like this when there is so much drivel on television. This show was refreshing in its character depth and unique take on human colonization of space. I really enjoyed the sneak preview of the upcoming movie.

Huh? Enterprise? Meh. I thought we were talking about Firefly. HEY! Maybe the last episode will be a daring holodeck thriller featuring 19th century villians! I hope Whoopie has a guest appearance.

  No, Riker will wake up, turn to Troi and say, "You won't believe it, but I just had the most amazing dream...". It will then pan out to the Enterprise-D and they'll roll the credits.

  I'm trying to picture a Trek/Seinfeld hybrid... Jerry would start out with a monologue, like "You know what really annoys me about phasers?". They would have a "contest" and a Vulcan would win, since they can go for seven years at a time without sex. Kramer would have to be the engineer, since he was always trying out crazy schemes on the show. And after a transporter malfunction, George would complain that "there was shrinkage involved!"

I see where you're coming from. But still, to make the set of Enterprise look less sophisticated than the Original Series would require them drawing on the walls with crayons or perhaps using vacuum tubes.

Can pull off playing King Lear, sure, but for some reason most of his post-Trek career consists of playing gay men in art-house movies.

Picard negotiated with female aliens. Kirk either killed them or banged them (or both).

Advantage: Kirk.

I agree that Picard was a better captain than Kirk, but there is a lot about star trek that bugged me, not the least of which was that Capt. Jelicho and Cmdr. Data were better captains than either of them. (Riker complained to Jelicho he was being too hard on the crew. HELLO! You were at war, Riker! It's not Jelicho's fault Picard never ran battle readiness drills.) Data was the victim of starfleet's basic pro-human bias. (Ever wonder why starfleet was topheavy with humans instead of the much longer lived vulcans?) It really galled me when Troi was promoted over Data. I wasn't even aware that she was an officer, I thought she was a civilian contractor (but she donned a uniform in later shows).

And another thing, Troi sure was hot, but God, I hated the way she abused Worf. "A Klingon does NOT [do X]!" "Well, I'm not a Klingon, but I know I would feel [feeling Y] if I were confronted with [situation Z] [and I think you damn well better change your behavior and act more like me by doing X even though I'm not a Klingon, or I will make a recommendation to Capt. Picard to include this "deficiency" in your officer's fitness report]." Which invariably concludes with Worf changing his behaviour to be more like a human-betazoid hybrid than the Klingon he is.

Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me vent my hyper-critical warp core.

Replace "Klingon" with "man", and "human-betazoid hybrid" with "woman" in the above statement, and you've got a stereotypical heterosexual relationship.
