Star Trek: Emesis
So I watched the last episode ever of Star Trek:Enterprise last night.
What the irredeemable fuck?
Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, whoever you are (and I know who you are), fuck off, shut up, sit down and go away. “Franchise fatigue”, my ass. You just don’t know how to tell a story. Period. Stop trying. Go try retail instead. Idiots.
To the rabidly irrational fanboys who kept this crap going for way too long, [sarcasm_fyi] thanks a lot [/sarcasm_fyi], and in your face.
To the thirtieth century alien archaeologists reconstructing this period of human history, hello, and I hope things are going well. I owned a significant proportion of everything. I also hope you’ve found evidence of Battlestar Galactica, just so’s you get a balanced picture.
To Majel Barrett, you bear some of the blame for this. Just because a fan means well doesn’t mean - oh, never mind. The damage is done.
To Gene Roddenberry, please, sir, rise from the dead. You couldn’t save the Star Trek universe, but just you - or anybody - rising from the dead would be really cool.

I kinda liked the final few minutes when they went through the three “Enterprise”s.
I think using Riker and Troi and pretending they were in the middle of a season 7 episode was a big mistake. They are too old to play those characters now. I’m sorry, but the bags under Riker’s eyes were just a bit too much. And this is probably after hours in the makeup chair!
If they want to continue this franchise, they need to do something smart. How about a time-travel series that brings the Trek history in line with current events? i.e. no Khan in the late 1990’s, no WW3, etc. We could end up with a whole different Federation.
“These are the voyages of the Timeship Enterprise. It’s instantaneous mission…”

I like it! Only everyone’s named Dave and they’re always apologizing to each other about something!
Wrong universe!
Never mind!

Can you direct me to any of the WWIII episodes, or is that just from Spock’s comment in the ST:TOS episode about it?
