I know I'm going to catch flack for this, but doesn't this remind anybody else of the Farscape finale?  It was almost exactly the same situation, a long storyline finally gets resolved and everything is starting to look up for the heroes, when all of a sudden a totally random event throws everything out of whack just before the episode ends.  

No flack, but the analogy is a bit different.
We all knew that was the last season of Farscape. It wasn't a teaser for some upcoming storyline.
It was an end, and a rather harsh and abrupt one at that....

No, when it was written, no one knew that it would be the last show ever.  Kemper and Co. thought they'd have another season to explain away why a bunch of random (and call me crazy, ones that resemble the Nazi alien) aliens vaporized John and Aeryn.  Instead, we got a very akward end.  Imagine if ENT had been cancelled and no reshoots were done; we'd virtually get the same thing: a conclusion to a long-running storyline that gets capped off by a completely out of the blue plot twist at the very end.

I wonder...people were ticked off at Sci Fi for cancelling Farscape and not allowing the cliffhanger to be resolved, not at the writers for coming up with a completely random way to end the seaon.  If UPN cancelled ENT, would people be angry at the network for cancelling the show before the final twist could be resolved, or would they be as they are now angry at the writers?

Hmmm, I stand corrected then.
Thx, RatBoy

Maybe my whole problem with this is: The mini-arcs feel so "patched together at the last minute".

B5 had great arcs. Arcs planned from day one.
Enterprise arcs feels like cheap tricks to hook us to watch the next episode.

Will Batman become swiss cheese??!?! Will Robin become the boy blender??!?!
Tune in next time to find out! Same BatTime... Same BatChannel!

In all honesty, I would've paid big bucks if B&B could drag in the guy who played D'Argo just to scream "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" after seeing the Nazi alien.  Best...Ending Scream...Ever.

but a cookie to whoever can tell me what the SS Bounty is...might have been HMS Bounty...dont recall exactly  

That was Captain Bligh's ship that Fletcher Christian and his buddies had their mutiny on -  and it was HMS.  

Hmm...well Im actually referring to the BoP in ST:IV...

Maybe Sci-fi can hire that actor to bring back MST 3000 with this Enterprise episode as it's first victim.  However I've been to a few other forum boards on the net and the general consensus was that they liked the Enterprise ending.  A lot of them said that they couldn?t wait for the series to come back in the fall.  Maybe because we hold Trek near and dear to our hearts that we are too hard on the show and B&B....  Naaaaw!!!  

I will admit I cringed at the start of the show when I saw B&B had done the writing.

Thing is, the episode was great until the last five mins. I almost thought B&B had written a good episode....now I know they were just setting it all up for an ending that throws common sense out and brings in Nazis.

The ending had the feeling of having been tacked on - maybe after the show was finally picked up for a fourth season, they decided they needed a cliffhanger quickly.

I don't know why they had to use Nazis, they should have done Commies or Frenchies. Or French Commies.

Heh. Haven't done one of these post in a while. Figured might as well for the seaon finale.

To be honest, I haven't seen an Enterprise episode in quite a while. Let's see how this plays out.

I still tune in frequently hoping to hear Scott Bakula say "Oh boy."

So, age is considered intimate information to Vulcans?    

[Khalee]

Nope  looks like they are going to run it into the ground. why bother picking it up for another season if this is the best they can do.

[Captain Krenn]
