Enterprise Finale
Lame. Depressing. If I didn't like Jonathan Frakes and the Enterprise cast so much I probably would have turned it off.
[Light spoiler warning.]
You know the reason the finale had to end with "final" things (NX-01 getting mothballed after 10 years, Trip and T'Pol just being friends, a major character dying, etc.), right? So that any hope for reunion movie(s) are killed. I really don't think the series had to end this way.
However, the 8PM episode, "Terra Prime", was pretty darn good. The final scene with Trip and T'Pol was great. (Conner Trinnear, I will miss Trip.)
Comments
I caught every episode this year, via Torrent of course. I think the full fan base of Enterprise will never be known. When you have a fan base that leans toward the technical side, you generally have people using technology to watch the show. As a result you have no idea how many people are truly watching. No other Star Trek series ever had to deal with the ability of it's fans to choose alternative ways of viewing the show.
I really would like to see this cast again, but I fear your theory is correct and we will never see any of these folks in these roles again.

I blame the crap that was Voyager for a large part of Enterprise's failure. I think it turned off a lot of people who potentially could have been viewers of Enterprise.
Finally... no reunion show or movie? Come on. They killed Spock and found a way to bring him back. No to mention every other Trek EP is about time travel anymore.
