re: #64 wheat-dogg

In some ways, it was ended all too neatly, like a slew of past Trek episodes where someone talks everyone out of annihilation.

Enterprise had the same problem getting its mojo and pacing down, but by the time they had it figured out, the series ended. I read an interview of the showrunner, and he dropped hints of interesting things to come, but he also could have been just blowing smoke.

If it was Manny Coto, then he did have a lot of ideas in store. Problem was that by the time that he’d come on as show-runner, the previous duo had so thoroughly run the show into the ground that there was little hope of saving anything. The final insult was that the job of writing the series finale was taken from him and given to them, resulting in one of the most derided episodes in the franchise.
