#AllStarTrek This was an odd choice for a season finale - a sudden cliffhanger ending. After an entire season devoted to ONE mission which pushed the crew to its limits, that mission finally and dramatically ended with this episode. Honestly felt like a cathartic release to be rid of that Sword of Damocles.

Then they suddenly throw in some silly random alien Nazi crap on their return to Earth? To be continued? WTF!

As a viewer I woulda been pissed.😖

The show runners knew they were being replaced, so they imposed a weird cliffhanger that the new show runners would need to figure out how to address...and they didn't leave any clues as to what they had in mind.

@Trek_Academy @kcarr2015 not even the first alien nazi from that showrunner. Oof.

I love the third season of ENT. I found the Xindi season to be very entertaining.

But that out-of-left-field cliffhanger? I remember when it first aired and I was baffled. And the 2-part season 4 opener that resolves the cliffhanger isn’t very good.

Thankfully, S4 gets really good after that. Starting with the crew’s *actual* return home after stopping the Xindi weapon.

And then S4 is consistently great until… the infamously awful series finale.

I found Enterprise solidly 'acceptable' throughout. They didn't achieve greatness as often as the others, but they did ok. Least favorite part after the theme song was junky T'Pol.

The theme song took some getting used to, but the visuals of the opening credits were a work of art.

@Trek_Academy @lxskllr @sezduck @Anguirus Me explaining all the reasons why #FaithOfTheHeart is a bad #StarTrek theme song.

I actually don't have that much to say.

1) The theme itself is completely uninteresting. It isn't doing anything unique instrument-wise like, say, #BrokenWings or #ShatteredDreams or, I dunno, ANY fun soft rock pop tune you can think of. It just sounds so derivative

Maybe the music majors out there can school me on why it's good.🤦‍♂️

2) Lyrically, it's about believing in yourself, following your heart, and never giving up your dreams, but to me #StarTrek was always about people studying, researching, and working together to achieve greatness or, you know, stop than damn plague.

Like, I bet every person you ever heard of who ever did something batshit followed their heart, didn't compromise their dreams, and then founded the Nazi party or some other crap.

It's a weird message!🤯

Fun fact: The showrunners considered Beautiful Day by U2 as the theme, but it would’ve cost too much.

I’d say that supports your point about the lyrics not really meaning much relative to the show (if they can just swap out one pop song for another).
