Page "Star Trek: Enterprise" Paragraph 31

The series cancellation was announced prior to the writing of the final episode of the fourth season allowing the writers to craft a series finale.

This final episode, titled " These Are the Voyages ...", aired May 13, 2005 in the United States and was one of the most heavily criticized episodes of the Star Trek franchise.

Much of the criticism focused on the premise which essentially reduced the finale to a holodeck adventure from the Star Trek: The Next Generation series.

The episode featured guest appearances by Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis as their Star Trek: The Next Generation characters William Riker and Deanna Troi.

Disregarding their eleven years of obvious aging, the episode is based during the TNG episode " The Pegasus ".

Brent Spiner lent his voice to the finale, and is briefly heard as Data.

The last episode held the most views, but was the lowest rated episode of the series.

Jolene Blalock, who plays T ' Pol, voiced her negative opinion about bringing the two Next Generation actors to Enterprise.
