I thought the finale was fine, but I wish they had let us hear the speech by Archer. This is a landmark occasion for the Federation and I thought it would be interesting to see. They should have added Avery Brooks' voice and Kate Mulgrew's voice to end. Also, I wish they had come up with a new scenario for Riker(he got his own ship in the last movie, why can't we see that?) rather than just rehash an old Next Generation episode.
I agree about Riker. Definitely would have been nice to see him on his own ship.
IMO it was good to keep Mulgrew and Brooks out, as this show and the other two were about ships named Enterprise, after all. There was no monologue for VOY or DS9.
The speech by Archer...pheh..."Peace and Love, accept any and all beliefs as being equal, blah blah blah blah...*insert more socialist drivel*", you get the point. I'm fine without it. I thought Enterprise in it's final year was better than the first 4 years of VOY, but not the last two. VOY and ENT fell into the false jeopardy and bogus plot line traps: Ship is en route to generic alien with bumpy foreheads planet, encounters generic spatial anomally, techno-babble resolution, hit the reset button for next week. Very week. The result is a show where none of the characters grow, change, die, or face any type of real threat. Until they get a creative team willing to challenge the BS Roddenberry utopian drivel philosophy that the last "creative" team adopted, you'll have a show with no character driven conflict, eg: nothing interesting.
