These are the voyages...

I have mixed feelings about last night’s Enterprise finale. It didn’t uplift my spirits like Next Generation’s finale, but it didn’t leave me in a frothing rage, like Voyager’s, either. Just sad about what could have been, and what was. They showed things I didn’t want to see and didn’t show things I did, and while it’s always nice to see Riker and Troi, I felt cheated as an Enterprise fan that the finale wasn’t on the terms of its own series, but instead part of the larger Star Trek universe.

And then there’s that whole Trip/T’Pol thing.

Fortunately, I can safely tell myself that, aside from the broad historical events, it was all just a holodeck simulation created 200 years after the fact. And thank goodness!

Did I mention I was conflicted about last night?

So — a fond farewell to Enterprise from one fan. I, for one, will actually miss you.

(The upside is that I will not miss UPN. Off of my Yahoo! Channel Guide you go! My hate for thee knows no bounds.)
