*yet another little bump*
I just watched this week's Enterprise and I have to say it could quite possibly be the best episode of the series so far. The storyline is outstanding and I have a deep gut feeling that this is all leading up to the conflict with the Romulans.

Well I totally called the Romulan influence. Once again though, this was an amazing story and possibly the best episodes of the series.

*Bump*
After a month-long break, Enterprise returned last night with the episode, "Daedalus". In which the creator of the transporter and his daughter(who were friends of Archer and his dad) come aboard the Enterprise to experiment with a new type of transporter that can beam the occupant thousands of lightyears *cough*Stargate*cough*. But the man who created it also has a secret motive in hopes to rescue his long-lost son.
My thoughts: Pretty good episode, not as good as any of the other one's this season. But still a good and emotional episode.

Awww, fuck. This just sucks.
This past season has been phenominal, and the show was really getting it's stride.
And so ends possibly the last StarTrek series...

TrekToday is saying that it will be at least 3 years minimum before another Trek series would start development.
Berman is supposed to be working on Star Trek XI, so not all is lost.
I'm sure they'll have learnt their lesson now and stay in the 24th Century. Trek doesnt look back.

I have to say watching Enterprise this week was severely depressing.
Not the episode itself (which was awesome), just the fact that now I know that this great series is just about over...

*buuuump* Last few episodes. Bummer. This week, I watched one of the best eps. of the series: "In a Mirror, Darkly". The episode takes place entirely in the classic alternate "Mirror Universe". The episode basically takes a look at the events happening in the prequel mirror universe, and it did not disapoint. The episode started off suprisingly with some archive footage from StarTrek: First Contact, when Zefram Cochran walks to greet the landing Vulcan ship. But as he goes to try and do the "live long and prosper" sign, he reaches into his coat and pulls out a gun and shoots the vulcans, causing everyone to run aboard the vacant ship.
You have to see this to believe it.
Next, the intro movie dropped the crappy Dawson's Creek-esqe theme in place of a Nazi-Parade song, and the video showed alternate events such as Neil Armstrong planting a Terran Empire Flag on the moon, and the ISS Enterprise attacking different ships.
After the intro, the episode basically portrays a completely different, evil crew using torture on crewmen and the Captain having sex with about every woman on board. The episode is complete with Tholians, and mutinies, and yes the USS Defiant, the lost Constitution Class ship from the Original Series.
I won't go into too much detail, but I SERIOUSLY urge everyone to watch this episode, as well as the 2nd part next Friday. A++[/b

Generally I've been waiting for channel 9 here in Australia to play Enterprise, I watch it coz its star trek, I never feel that much of an urge to aquire episodes early. However I have done when episodes are advertised to have call backs to previous material. For example, I downloaded the Ferengi Episode when it aired in the US, as well as that lame Borg episode, even that one with the romulans and that other with the tholians.
Being a fan of the Mirror DS9 episodes, but not so much a fan of the Mirror Mirror Ep of TOS, I thought I'd snatch a copy of this.
Although its a shame that its inconsequential to the story line of the Trek universe crew, it was still most enjoyable, plus it had a 3d tholian and a tholian web!
Most enjoyable, cant wait for next week's!

In the next episode we'll see another alien that hasn't appeared since the original Star Trek. I'll just say that they'd better hope they can find logs and charcoal on the Defiant....

Saw the episode, and it was fantastic.
I personally thought they did a great job updating the look of the Gorn. And the ending was fantastic.
I was just plain floored by this amazing episode. Possibly the best of the entire series.
A+++

It was a good episode, but not up to par with the past few weeks. Nice concept though, xenophobia in the future towards aliens.
8.5/10 Looking forward to next week's 2nd part and the series finale...

Please elaborate why exactly you're calling it a "disgrace".

Well... That totally sucked. The final episodes of Enterprise aired tonight, marking the end (for the foreseeable future, at least) of a franchise that has been on the air since 1987.
Terra Prime wasn't bad. In fact, it was pretty good. It definitely picked up from last week's episode, and had emotion and an interesting plot and so on and so forth. It had a few holes (like the Whatever The Plot Requires Gun that the terrorists had control of). Not end-of-an-era material, but a decent episode. But that's not important. The important part is what came on after it...
These are the Voyages. Imagine if The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings had been presented as the Simpson family watching the episode on TV with it cutting off right before the opera. That would be about as bad. If it had been a normal episode, it may have been interesting, in the same way that the alternate universe ones were a few episodes back (though those were definitely better no matter how this one is looked at), but as a series finale it was a complete disaster. Having Riker in the background of every other scene (and in the foreground for the rest) really killed all hope any of the scenes had at any sort of tension. How are you supposed to find any interest in a firefight when you know that the whole thing isn't real and can be paused, rewound, or skipped with no consequences? Then, a main character was killed for no reason (it seemed as if Trip just stopped thinking as soon as he saw the baddies, and figured "I know, I'll blow all of us up" without considering any other alternatives). It was a real disappointment after the complete turnaround in quality that this last season has been. So long, Star Trek. Come back when you get a haircut and clean up a bit.

I think you're being a bit hard on these are the voyages. If you've been keeping up with the Trek News (such as Trek Web and TrekToday) then you'll realise it was written as a fairwell to 18years of star trek, and also as a hope to make the Prequel fit in with the real trek.
I thought it was well executed, but I suppose thats because I'm a hell of a lot more interested in the TNG crew than I am with the shallow characters on Enterprise.
The Pegausus is one of my favourite TNG eps so, I'm happy straight off, and the CGI Galaxy Class Enterprise-D was seriously awesome too.
I was a tad disappointed that they actually cut the speech at the end, were they infering that the "Space the final frontier..." was Archer's?

That's it? Rather dissapointing for a last ep. Also sucks that they let Trip die.
About Terra Prime. I think they shouldn't have sent Trip and T'Pol down there, without a disguise. Seeing that there is a clone of them on the colony, I'd expected that they would stand out and be caught real soon because the colonists obviously know what they look like.

Meh-worthy.
7.5/10
These are the Voyages
It was good, but nowhere as good as any of the other finales, let alone most of the episodes from this past season...
8.4/10
