I have posted this elsewhere, but I heard some stuff about the "Enterprise" finale.
This is from Ain't it Cool, but if this comes to pass, there will be a helluva lot of pissed off Trek fans.
This may be a spoiler, but I have my doubts...

Rumors persist that we will learn in the finale that the four seasons of "Enterprise" are nothing more than a holonovel being viewed by Will Riker and Deanna Troi on the Enterprise-D.
source article The Toronto Star which describes Sci-Fi fandom in general and women's role in it...
Blalock's quote is:
There is an awkward silence when the subject of the final episode is broached. "I don't know where to begin with that one," she finally stammers. "The final episode is ... appalling."
I dunno. What if it were a
holo-documentary, instead?
That would be weak, but not necessarily appalling.
I don't believe that rumor. I think it's a foiler. Everybody knows that Bobby in the Shower and Roseanne's Hallucinatory Last Season were some of the most egregious stunts in television history.
Why are we white-fonting in the spoiler thread?
David,
I am not watching the show the first season cured me of that, but I am curious about this appalling finale. I wonder why she considers it appalling?
Dare I watch?
DX has his own mind dammit. :-)
I wonder why she considers it appalling?
Conspiracy theory suggests: She's actively foiling.
Or, maybe not. Part of me would love to see the whole Trek universe collapse in on itself in a blistering crap-heap. And I say that as a longtime fan. It's sort of like watching Britney becoming skanky white trash with greasy skin, greasy hair, a greasy boyfriend and cigarette ever handy. Although (unlike Britney) I liked Trek originally, and even through DS9. But I think they've betrayed the virtues of the franchise, and been completely outshone by Babylon 5, Farscape, Firefly... They totally pissed away the good stuff and don't deserve their fanbase.
Fuck, Galaxy Quest was better than anything that ever happened on Voyager or Enterprise.
But...why foil? I mean, she could have just said nothing.
