From the Berman/Braga "They Just Don't Get It" File....
Producers Defend Enterprise End
Star Trek: Enterprise producers Brannon Braga and Rick Berman told SCI
FI Wire that they understood the recent disparaging comments made by
cast members about the final episode, but stood by their execution of
the series finale. "You have to remember, under normal circumstances,
most people probably would have thought this was a very cool episode,
because it has a great concept driving it," Braga said in a conference
call with reporters. "But when it's the final episode of a series,
emotions are running very high."
The most vocal objection came from cast member Jolene Blalock, who
plays T'Pol on the show. "I don't know where to begin with that one,"
she recently said of the finale. "The final episode is ... appalling."
The episode, titled "These Are the Voyages," features Star Trek: The
Next Generation stars Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis, who reprise
their roles as Commander Riker and Deanna Troi. The pair will view the
episode's historic events through a holodeck recreation. Berman said
he thought that the opinions expressed by Blalock had to do with the
episode's references to the previous Trek series. "The feeling was
that if this was going to be the finale of Enterprise, then why bring
characters in from another series?" he said. "But I think when people
see the episode and realize that to be able to truly pay the respect
to our characters that we have, we've couched it in a unique fashion
of being able to look back on them, and I think it's going to be a
very positive response towards the Enterprise crew."
Braga said that he was aware that the Enterprise cast had some minor
issues with the storyline, but there were no serious objections during
the production. "There were a couple of people who were slightly
uncomfortable with the fact that we have Next Generation characters in
the show, and it is a different kind of episode," he said. "But there
were no serious complaints. And none of the actors have seen the
episode, so they can't be dissatisfied with how it turned out." Star
Trek: Enterprise ends its four-season run May 13 on UPN at 9 p.m.
ET/PT.

Berman and Braga are scum. Rodenberry would've vomited at the sight of
DS9 and Voyager, and how these two buffoons fumbled away the franchise.
