    Actually, These Are The Voyages would be a great episode if 1) Trip didn't die and 2) it wasn't a series finale. All Strange New Worlds has to do is include a crew member who says they're the descendant of the engineer of the NX-01, and we'll know Trip survived.

    • @AzraelThanatos
      @AzraelThanatos Před 2 lety +11

      I believe that it was never intended to be a finale. My view is that they had delayed filming due to a planned special event of including TNG characters in it, unfortunately, they then got the news of the show being cancelled and wanted to ram as much into it for stories they wanted while also dealing with needing to keep the Riker part in it.
      Basically, the delay in cancellation meant that a lot of things got pushed into the episode to have it be an ending rather than just leaving everything up in the air.

    I have to say that you really missed the mark on DS9, when you put the Klingon death above Jadzia Dax. She really could have been elevated to the death that need not be. I do understand the reason, as just like Denise Crosby, Terry Farrell wished to leave the show. But the killing was not needed. As for Tripp, totally felt the writers were just done with the series, as they couldn’t seem to get away from a bad story arc, and move forward to save the show. But it really went sour, When they killed off Tripp. I’ve said this many times, that the producers don’t listen to the fans, who ultimately are the reason Star Trek still exists.

    Back when I was covering ENTERPRISE for my TREK REPORT column @ IGN FilmForce, I wrote a perfect opening scene for the first episode of the next season where Trip is walking with Archer and complaining about a new "trash video novel" about the ship & crew. It becomes obvious that he's talking about the previous season's episode when he complains about getting killed off. Archer tries to calm Trip down by telling him, "It's fiction. Everybody knows that!".
    Trip responds, "This is the sort of thing that has been mistaken for actual history before. What if people a 100 years from now think this is what really happened?"
    Archer stops and looks Trip in the eye. "Well, by then, you'll actually be dead so why worry about it?"
    And on we go.......

    Slightly off topic - but related to Red Shirt deaths - I often wonder about decisions made by Captain Kirk. In the end of Space Seed, Kirk makes a unilateral decision that I suspect he could not have made if Star Fleet were a real organization with real bureaucracy. Think about how many crew members died at the hands of Khan and associates while attempting to take the ship. If even 1 died, Kirk could not drop all charges and in fact could have ended up being court marshaled for not turning them over to a star base for due process.

      Yeah, Sela is the legit biological daughter of Tasha Yar and a Romulan Admiral, NOT a clone.

It's as non-canon as the episode where the Enterprise was bested and captured by 8 Ferengi with hand phasers in two outdated birds of prey in my opinion.
