Imagine you are given the chance to create the last episode of Enterprise.
What would you do? Let's forget budgets, time constraints and network infighting.
The skies the limit, my friends. And the final episode is yours.

For the final scene, have a bunch of "Klingon" stuntmen charge off the production set with a camera following them to Berman's office and hack a surprised Rick to pieces.Quote:

Ok, my idea could be done a couple of ways. I'm a big fan of the last episode of a series encompassing things they have shown during the series run. This is expanded with a 'spin-off' show like enterprise. So, with out further Apu, here is my idea, served 3 ways:
"A Gathering of Heroes: All Our Forevers" In this scenerio, I bite the bullit and do the time travel episode the the Corporate suits tell you are fan favorites. But with a twist. Instead of 'archer in the past/future' or 'future in past' idea, we kick it up a notch: Ships from various eras brought together to jointly fight some terrible menace. The menace should be temporal or transdimentional.
I imagine that this menace makes various attempts to enter our reality, or to find a timeline/era where they can make short work of our heroes. That's where the Ent. crew comes in; they make some kind of contact with the menace, then are pulled to some neutral area where they meet other crews of other ships that have also encountered the same phenomena (some kind of 'sympathetic quantum resonance' allows them all to be called to this place, and ensures that only these ships and their crews are the only ones able to help defend the galaxy)
For flavor, I would like to see some kind of ship from before Ent.; Archer's Enterprise; a ship from TOS, an enterprise would be nice; ditto for TNG; maybe something from a later era, like 10 years afterNemisis; and maybe something from a distant future Starfleet (with like a Borg as a captain!?!).
Anyway, the different ships come together to find a way to stop the incursion into our reality/timeline, and save the galaxy, Fed and our timeline. Of course, the cosmic reset button is pushed, and things go back to normal, but the Ent. crew has the feeling that everything is going to be all right. (for fun, have the ship from before Ent. be a warship during the opening battles of WWIII, have them have the 'everythings gonna be alright' momment)
Next up:
"A Gathering of Heroes: Infinite Heroism" (i know it sucks as a title)
This is the same basic idea as the one above, but instead of ships from different eras, you have various alternate reality Enterprise's doing the hero thing.
You just pick up any idea and apply it to the Enterprise:
Terran Empire Enterprise? Yep!
Reversed gender enterprise? OK!
Evolved Dinosaur Enterprise? Si!
Klingon Enterprise? (insert Klingon word for yes here)!
Enterprise with a contract for next season? Now you're asking the impossable!!
Anyway, same idea, maybe throw in that one of the realities is the REAL main line reality, and that this will correct the mistakes. And of course, after stopping the danger of the momment, that big red cosmic button gets pushed.
And Nazi Enterprise commanded by androids remains!! (kidding, just kidding!)
The last one (for now):
"A Gathering of Heroes: A Galaxy United"
Ok, you know the basic premise: Danger unites hero types.
This one, we scale it down a bit; we bring the Major races of the show into the fray. Including Klingons and Romulans. Kinda like how we were allies with the Soviets during WWII. In this idea, no cosmic reset button: instead, some action by some side causes a rift that eventually leads to the hostilities that continue with the Romulans and Klingons.
Too much typing...need break.
Good lawd! I can never picture NCC-1701 painted pink.Quote:

Personally, I would love to see the last episode of Enterprise actually start the Romulan war. In something akin to "Balance of Terror," the Enterprise is dispatched to investigate the mysterious loss of Earth ships in a remote sector or colony.
What ensues is a cat and mouse with a Romulan scout/warship, where the Enterprise is overmatched and eventually crippled, and only through complete treachery (maybe a nuclear or photonic warhead) do they defeat the Romulans. The series ends with the Entperise limping to Earth, only to find out that war has been declared...
An especially evil twist would be if the Romulan attacked first, and Ent. retaliated in pure self defense, accidently destroying the war bird, yet the Rom's claim 'Terran Agression' and 'terrorist actions in neutral space'.
Actually, it was Section 31 that got us into the Earth-Romulan War. Damn humans! :mad:

I don't know the whole episode but the last scene should be. The crew celebrating their saving the earth form certain doom. With Archer standing in the center of the bridge smiling when a blue light radiates from him encompassing his entire body then the sceen. We then see his the light diminish to outline his body then we see Archer standing in an alien room. He turns to a mirror to show a reflection of an Orien Girl. Archer then mutters "Oh boy." then credits roll. :D
I have thought of that question a long time. Ever since the first episodes of Enterprise. I am writing this all in a rush and summarizing poorly but I do not want to spend all day grabbing out every detail.
Title: Slingshot
Summary
Archer wakes up surrounded by the universe floating in space. He is able to breath and does not understand why. He hears a voice speaking to him. This someone is reckognized by the fans but Archer has no clue who it is, it is Avery Brooks's Sisko. He tells Archer that this was not suppose to happen and shows images in space, he says that only Archer can set it right. He tells Archer it is up to him to fix all of this and to do so he must finally meet the Time Travelling villian, giving the name of whom it is. When Archer asks, all Q says is that it is the order of things. Not once do we see Sisko at all. Sisko gives Archer something in the dream a charm. When Archer wakes up from an alarm he thinks it was not real until he opens his hand and there is the charm.
When he gets to the bridge, T'Pol points out that they detected something. After nearly getting the ship destroyed they figure it is some sort of quantum irregularity. Everytime the ship falls to one of the waves we are prjected into a new reality. One where the humans have conquared the Klingons. The crew inserted into a Constition Class and meeting Kirk. Archer seems to point out how to figure it out remembering what was said in the dream. Freaking out alot of people. They discover that this quamtum irregularity is artifically made and the Sulaban have been placing these Time Mines.
Meanwhile, T'Pol and Tucker are dealing with some of the unresolved feeling they have for each other as Tucker keeps dealing with his past with the Vulcans and T'Pol with dealing with her emotions for Tucker that she has not been willing to deal with.
Archer finally tells Tucker and T'Pol his dream. He says it is crazy but shows them the weird charm. Looking at it closely we know it is a communicator from DS9. Archer says that he needs to fix something and points out some of the things that the voice said was wrong. That this Time Travelling villian is responsable for breaking the timeline and the quantum irregularity that is growing consumming more of space and destroying the space time continuim. Archer has to do something about this asks for Earth's help to no avail. Archer then with advice from Hoshi contact the allies he has made in space. Andorians, some Vulcans etc. He emasses and fleet to attack the Sulaban and stop this once and for all.
This leads to a major battle against the Sulaban with a fleet of different species with Archer in charge.
During the battle, Archer is hurt and sent to sick bay. The voice talks to him again telling him he needs to leave the ship and to engage the Time Travelling Villian at these locations. Archer asks who is he and the voice's image appears of Sisko in his uniform minus his communicator. All he says is the future and fades away. Archer gets up against medical advice as they crew are in battle and steals a shuttle following what is being told to him. He holds the charm in his hand as he studies it after passing through the battle and barely able to teleport out he is finds himself in a Sulaban mother ship. He races to and through the Suluban fighting his old Sulaban nemesis, he meets up with that Time cop. The Time cop says he is not to stop this. Archer looks at him and the two argue but Archer decks him. He then finally meets face to face with the time travelling villian. The two have a talk and then Archer shows the charm he has. The image asked where he got it. Archer says I think I know who you really are. Archer clicks the charm and it fades the image away revealing the Time cop from the previous episodes the two fight.
During all of this confussion and battle T'Pol realizes that the irrugularities have to stop. After the battle they get a mine bringing it with them to the orignal blast point tweaking it as they rush towards the exapanding quantum irrgularity. Tucker and she modify the device as the two knowingly know this may be a last ditch effort as the ship is nearly torn apart. They realize that they have to detonate it using the warp core of the ship. During the last minutes before setting it off they reveal their feeling for each other. The Enterprise explodes in the quantum irregularity.
Archer and the time cop/villian continue their fight at the point it looks like the time cop is going to win, he screams as the quantum irregularity is destroyed fixing the time line.
Archer is sitting at the command of a ship not the Enterprise of the show. He is wearing a familiar uniform with a retro look. His crew consists of the same people but they too are in the uniforms. These uniforms look like what would be the predessosors to the TOS uniforms. He mentions the irregularity is over that the beam they used must have fixed it. Calling down to the medical bay, he asks Tucker if everything is alright. Tucker says, 'Yes it is a girl.' T'Pol is in the medical bay raises her eyebrow at Tucker, 'Was there any doubt?'. We find that the whole series was about this quantum irregularity that forced these people into an alternate timeline. This is actually a Unified colony ship with various species that Earth and their allies the Vulcans put together. The Vulcan Liason officer is T'Pol married to Tucker, who was the first Earthling allowed to study on Vulcan. And at the end Archer puts in his personal log everything that happened petting his dog.
Then we see the ship one of the old class ships (with slightly updated special effects) that should be of that era. As it disappears we start to hear the old Star Trek ding ding as Archer does the Boldy Goes speech.
The End.
This is a rush job of my whole idea hope I convied it right.
Well done; i had similar ideas, as an 'escape plan' incase fans rioted because the show was not in line with TOS.
My final episode would have followed the same basic premise as the Enterprise finale - Archer and the crew of Enterprise return to Earth for the signing of the Federation treaty, as well as the dedication of the first Federation Starship, the Daedelus class.
No holodeck. No time travel. No Riker, Troi or anything else from another time period. Way too much Temporal Cold War stuff in previous seasons - this is the farewell to the Enterprise cast, so they should take center stage.
Basically a while after the Earth-Romulan war, and the coalition of worlds that helped fight off the invaders have chosen to remain united. The crew of the Enterprise, older and wiser (and of higher rank in many cases) are coming home not only for Archer's speech but also for the NX-classes refit to a Warp 7 vessel.
The main plot of the show would be character development mostly - I might throw a Romulan plot or doomsday weapon in an attempt to destroy the conference but the idea is to give all the characters one final spotlight.
The last scene should be Archers speech. Scott deserves one more final moment to shine and that should be it. Once he finishes his speech, maybe a "Enterprised-version" of the old TOS openning, with Bakula doing the "Space, the Final Frontier" monalogue as the Enterprise to flybys.... a Manny Coto moment to end the series...
That's my view anyway
My sentiments exactly.Quote:
