the last episodes
this past friday saw the end of not one but 2 Gene Roddenbery tv series. The first was Andromeda. This show was not very good and often times did not makes sense even if you watched even minute of the episode. There were plots but it was not solid presentations. Interesting characters but it was a far cry from Star Trek. which leads me to the end of Enterprise.
The last episode was a self contained story. it was not the usual 2 hr or 2 part ending that all Star Trek series seem to have. It has guest character of Riker and Troi from NextGen. Riker plays out the final days of the Enterprise NX-01 before it is decommissioned. He is looking for a solution for his current dilema by playing various characters in a holodeck simulation. This is supposed to take place during one of the episodes of Next Gen's final season, but it is obvious that the actors have aged quite a bit since then. But anyway back to the point, this was not too great of an ending either but I guess it was a little rushed so this was the best they could come up with.
Both series started with good intentions but both had trouble keeping an audience. It just surprised me that somehow they would both come to an end on the same night, right after one another on different stations. Honestly I don't think i will miss either one of them. This just clears the way for hopefully more developed and thought out shows to take their place. OK how am I kidding, it ain't easier to make a successful Sci-fi show so I will not be holding my breath for a good new show anytime soon.

yeah, the whole time during the Enterprise finale, I was thinking, "wait...I've seen this ep of Next Gen..."
Totally a rough week for T'Pal, though, wasnt it?
having a baby of hers that she just found out about die and then having he man sacrifice himself 6 yrs after that when they had plans to get together in future. indeed a hell of a week.
i still think she is hotter in the mirror universe
