The series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise is the most maligned ending of any Star Trek show, but there are also a number of good things about “These Are The Voyages…” that have continually been overlooked. Star Trek: Enterprise ended its 4-season run in 2005, which also marked the end of the era of Star Trek produced by Rick Berman which began with Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987. The prequel series was plagued by low ratings on the UPN Network, and Enterprise was the first live-action Trek show since Star Trek: The Original Series not to run for 7 seasons.

The main problem with Star Trek: Enterprise’s series finale boils down to the episode’s premise: “These Are The Voyages…” revolves around TNG's Commander Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes. Enterprise's finale actually takes place during the TNG season 7 episode, “The Pegasus,” and the events of Star Trek: Enterprise take place in the holodeck as Riker struggles with a moral dilemma. The fact that Enterprise's characters were reduced to holograms in their own finale, which was really about a TNG guest star, incensed the fans and the cast as well. Compounding the problem was the decision to kill off the beloved Trip Tucker (Connor Trinneer). Those are the main grievances used to condemn “These Are The Voyages…” and the complaints are valid. Yet the finale is not without its strong points as well.
