It was a shame because the series and cast did at least have potential, but the writers and staff (esp. Braga and Berman) really made a mess of things. It was still better than Voyager in my opinion, but that's really not saying much, and it's a shame the last Star Trek on tv for awhile ended up being those two series. Most of the actors were apparently unhappy with the way the show was handled and the ending in particular as well. It was rather terrible they turned it into a sort of mini TNG episode and the story itself wasn't terribly satisfying anyway. Yep.

I watched the first two seasons with interest. Then came the Xindi saga... at first I found it interesting but it quickly started to drag on and to become very predictable, like the writters were so running out of ideas that they stretched that episode to its furthest limits. Then they found nothing better than to "surprize" us with two episodes of an evil Enterprise (not even an original idea... see DS9 and evil Empress Kira). That was a warning sign for what was to come with the final episode. A suddenly suicidal Trip, later "reincarnated" and going God knows where), it was so disrespectful to all the characters, as if they were mere disposable holographic material, even so they should have deserved more respect according to the Star Trek tradition (ask Robert Picardo what he'd have thought of that treatment!). I didn't find Terra Prime to original either, it was like a rerun of the Xindi thread, only the poignant Trip/T'pol relationship was worth watching. For a few minutes emotion ran high as they finally became a real, loving couple. But what a waste from serie to serie. It had so much potential. These writers should reimburse all the money they made and never be hired again... Total incompetence. The serie started off so well. I watched the first two seasons with interest.
