You threw me with Cerritos. I thought this was an Enterprise joke.
What a poor ending that was.
Somebody suggested a better ending which I like too. Having Archer flash out and quantum leap into a cowboy or something and go “oh boy”
What do you mean? Terra Prime was a great finale. There was nothing else after that.
If Lower Decks hasn’t made These Are The Voyages… officially canon yet and I missed it, I would not be at all shocked if they do this season considering they relish making everything Trekkies hate about Star Trek 100% canon. (See the salamanders from Threshold.)
That would have been preferable to a holodeck simulation. Ugh, what a weak way to go out, especially considering how great the rest of that last season was. Berman and Braga should’ve let Manny Coto (the showrunner, whom they hired to run the show, FFS) write and direct the finale, too bad ego had to get in the way.
At a very basic level, the concept could work - jump into the future to show how the crew’s adventures are remembered. Babylon 5 succeeded at the same kind of idea for their excellent Season 4 finale.
But B5 showed that the characters left a profound and enduring legacy. In These Are The Voyages, Riker consumes the story of Trip’s death like it’s a mildly engaging episode of a daytime soap - between the scenes of a better episode that works much better without the addition. It’s just the worst execution you could imagine.
Yeah, it’s a callback to the Enterprise finale. I figure the Lower Decks finale couldn’t be any worse, right? Pleasebegoodpleasebegood
Here’s hoping that Boimler gets assigned to the ncc-1701-g under Seven and that gets a show.
