Worst Episode Ever
"...the final episode is...appalling."
 And Jolene Blalock (who played the Vulcan, T'Pol) wasn't kidding, These Are the Voyages, the final episode of 18 years of Trek was a complete piece of crap and only further confirmed that Braga and Berman were the worst things to happen to Trek and the only way to save Star Trek from those idiots is to kill it. This episode is so bad, it seems like it was written that way on purpose as a final "fuck you" from B&B. Here's how bad it was:
Barclay Gets Mentioned
But the engineers get the shaft: no mention for Geordi and Trip dies. And it was the most empty character death, a death without purpose, since Braga killed Kirk on a piece of scaffolding. Tucker's death scene is so awkward and baffling, I'm still having trouble processing the whole thing. No funeral nor is his death really noted by the crew at the end of the episode (and T'Pol doesn't keep a little holographic jewel box projection of him in her spandex drawer).
Rike & Troi Are Older
What the hell? It's a holodeck flashback episode, that was expected, but the action takes place during a TNG episode and we're expected to suspend our disbelief and ignore the fact that the actors are more than a decade older than they were in the episode?
Nothing of Any Consequence Happens
Riker hams (meanwhile, he's in a heap of trouble topside). Archer frets about his speech. T'Pol misses Tucker and he's all, "Whuu-huuuuuhhh?" Tucker dies and nobody seems to notice. Apparently there were other people on the crew ... Takai and Nichols were treated better by Shatner in Star Trek V. At least Farpoint had a point.
So that's it. For me, Trek really ended when TNG ended (and even it had fallen into a rut by sixth season). I thought DS9 was dull and the characters were downers. Voyager was as crappy as The Phantom Menace, only seven seasons long. Enterprise had potential, but only started exploring it during the final season as a last ditch attempt to revive the ratings.
So I won't be missing it .... besides, new BSG in July!
Jeff (who just landed a gig with EA) has Trek character drawings here and here ...
