@@KM-dk5gn saw an interview with Branon Braga where he said that tatv (without holodeck gimmick) was the result of the formation of the federation being where they wanted to end the show but everyone presumed they'd get 6 or 7 seasons. The Riker/Troi thing was just a way of managing to jump to what felt like the natural end point of the show without another 3 seasons to get there.
*ABSOLUTELY* . For _ME_ - *THIS* is the ENDING that _SHOULD_ have been . Its the LOVE that binds us TOGETHER that we are able to discover , and that was - in MY opinion - the *MAGIC* that _WAS_ Star Trek !
That hug Archer gives T'Pol at the end! Remember how much he resented her presence on his ship at the start of the series? I really appreciated how these two characters developed over the course of the series and how much respect they learned to have for each other.
In character she really couldn't have responded to his hug but it would have been awesome if she had even seemed to hug back. No, of course she couldn't do that but...very touching scene that should have been the true ending if indeed it had to end.
In the episode, The Seventh, T'Pol asked Archer to join her on a mission to capture a Vulcan fugitive. Tho an average episode, it solidified the relationship between T'Pol and Archer.
"It hurts as if she were my own child" That line by Dr Phlox is the biggest gut punch to me in the entire series. I remember more than any other and is still on the brain after all these years.
@@transitengineer I don't remember that one. But I do remember something similar happening in Stargate Atlantis. A storyline which Connor Trineer was a big part of.

I LOVE how we skip the notion implied by the final episode that everyone from the crew is basically the EXACT same rank several years later, as if no one left the ship, Starfleet, or got promoted. Not crazy to have it at the end of a GREAT, but sad episode, but this works, presumably keeps Tripp alive, and is a helluva lot better than the ending we got.
At least one of the novels gave him the credit, he deserved. The writer(s) used the fact, that the last episode was an Holodeck simulation and Trip was now part of Section 31 and on a secret mission on Romulus
@@Thereisalwaysmore That would be nice too. Maybe their children were the ones, who helped doctors to develop medical treatment for half-vulcan children
My head canon is that Riker's holosimulation was deliberately historically inaccurate. Riker wanted certain people to be present, because they had served with Archer during the most pivotal aspect of his career. So, he added in 2155 versions of Phlox, Mayweather, etc. By 2161, most of them had been promoted, reassigned, or gone on to other things.
@@uRealReels We'd have to assume a rewrite keeping Tripp alive. We can at least hope that would be a solution for an alternative ending. Of course, in his compilation ending, we assume the last episode never happens and the incident that killed Tripp never occurred.

As one of the original Trekkers who grew up watching Star Trek when it was first aired in the 1960s, I have to say that I love Enterprise. Of all the spinoffs, it was the one that hewed closest to Roddenberry's vision of "Wagon Train to the Stars." I once wrote to one of my brothers, also a fan of original Star Trek, that Enterprise might well have been the best show ever canceled before its time. He was so moved that he bought me the whole series on DVD. For me, your alternate ends fits so much better than the sad ending they actually gave us. Thank you for sharing your vision with us.
Some of the workers behind the scenes had been doing Trek for over sixteen years and one very important one was very sick! Not only was it a financial decision it was a personnel decision!
Les M00NVES (reportedly😉) absolutely *_HATES_* ALL Sci-Fi with a _passion_ (🪓😡🗡 ) The _ONLY_ reason he green-lit that final season was that they convinced him they needed that minimum number of seasons to have a viable SYNDICATABLE property.

Excellent cut choices. The silly way Tripp got offed in the final episode always rubbed me the wrong way, and this arrangement is a far better portrayal of the progress of the Federation and its prize ship and crew. Enterprise forever.
This ending works so much better. 🙂 The final episode really didn't need to undermine the Enterprise actors to create a finale. While it might make sense to have well-known characters like Ryker appear in the first episode of a newly launched series, it serves no purpose to do it in the very last episode other than to deflate its legacy and shine the spotlight away from the characters who are much loved by their own fans. Imagine taking a curtain call for your own show, but instead some actors who have nothing to do with your show push you out the way and take a bow for your hard work. In fact it was pretty nasty thinking about it. Well done John, you figured out a satisfying ending without any reshoots! LOL!

Yes, but the do-over must wait until the current Woke wave has ended. Yes. Trek has always pushed diversity but from TOS to TNG, to DS9 and Voyager, that mix was never at the cost of the story and never trying to push that one 'message' exclusively.

I don’t have an answer to your question sadly. I agree that it was bad, it was over so quickly and swept under the carpet almost. At the very least they could have made it more of thing and had a better sick bay scene & funeral. The Sim episode was a much better example.
I loved “Enterprise”. It deserved three more seasons with the Earth-Romulan War and it’s conclusion. Maybe meet a young Vulcan boy named Sarek, or his father as well as meet a CPT Stiles whose descendant would eventually be the Chief Navigator onboard Jim Kirk’s Enterprise in “Errand of Mercy”. IMO
Exactly! They should have had seasons 5-7 focus on the Earth-Romulan, the way DS9 did the Dominion War. Then the last few episodes of the final season could have focused on the creation of the Federation.
@@rickjohnston2667 A lot of ST fans hated this show and boycotted it relentlessly. I defended it and i was kicked out of 2 or 3 ST forums. Time proved me right. And now almost all of them recognise that STE was a good show.

Very well done. Enterprise deserved as many seasons as Deep Space Nine, Voyager and The Next Generation. Some episodes I didn't care for when they got too deep into the war stories. But even in those, they were well written and powerful. I miss these characters. These people. This ship. And I really appreciate how you pulled together this alternate ending edit.
Good work. I can never think of These are the Voyages as the true finale. A fifth season would've been fantastic. The Romulan War could've pushed it to seven seasons.
Yeah , there were so MANY IN-Universe stories that just screamed OUT to be told , and just SO _MUCH_ lack of vision . MY question is THIS: exactly WHY is *THIS* FAILURE the _true legacy_ of studio MANAGEMENT THROUGH - _OUT_ the history of Star Trek , right up to TODAY , when it comes to telling POSITIVE UPLIFTING STORIES about the Grand ADVENTURE that IS Humanity ??
I will probably be crucified for that but Enterprise is one of my favourite ST shows. I'm still sad that it ended when it did, I had seen so many more stories in my mind.
Enterprise had it's ups and downs, but it's not too bad overall. Not nearly so bad as some people make it out to be, however, like Voyager, it certainly had some issues. I'd still have liked to have seen another season or two though and the Romulan war and formation of the Federation.
It's one of my favorites too. All the grief that people gave it just because it had...oh my gosh...words in the theme song was beyond ridiculous. One of my favorite aspects of the series was their "ancient" technology - compared to the other series. I loved all of the characters - especially Trip. Great series indeed!
Thank you for this. For years whenever I rewatched Enterprise, I would always skip the finale. I would always just pretend the second to last episode was the final one, because the last episode was one of the worst finales I've ever seen. Tripp dying was a gut punch or I guess sucker punch. Like what tf was the point of that? They already killed off his baby, which I think they also should not have done. Anyway really appreciate the hard work to make this right.
Much better because it sets things up and the show could continue. In fact on a late night NYC show Jeffrey Coombs said he was going to join the enterprise in season 5. What could have been was kind of ruined with less exploring and the xindi arc. Even Jolene blalock said the ending was bad. Bakula said the cast disappointed not given 7 seasons. Plus it was then supposed to go into occasional movie.
The WHOLE Riker watching all this in the hollow-deck was TERRIBLE. The story line without that, wasn't too bad, except there was no need to kill off Tripp or do the years time-jump. I don't know why they think an episode is better if they get an emotional response out of people. It didn't work with killing Tripp. It was the last episode, there was no need anyway. And I LOVED the character arc between Archer and T'Pol. In the first episode he wanted to knock her on her ass. In the last, he had the utmost respect for her, even giving her a hug knowing that she was just as responsible for creating the Federation as he was.
This ending was a far better one than what we got I miss this series and it was so good near the end but I guess the higher ups didn’t see it But it was a great series and I loved the ending that was made and to see how everyone else loved the ending
This beautiful, powerful, wonderful montage is literally breaking my heart right now…& I am crying😭😭🥰🥰❤️❤️!! Such a wonderful & imaginative series!! All the characters hold a special place in my heart. That last moment when Captain Johnathan Archer turns around, rushing over to T’Pol, embracing her out of compassion, friendship, & respect?? It tore my heart apart!! T’Pol is so beautiful, beloved, gentle, kindhearted, compassionate, noble, caring!! I would love to hug her, to thank her for being my counsel, my guide, my logic, if you will…steering our beloved crew & ship in the right direction. I would have hugged her so damn tight, breaking down in tears, to tell her just how much love, compassion, honor, friendship, & respect for her! I would not want to let go, wishing to protect her & be her friend. She’s standing there, at this sudden display of human emotion from her beloved captain. I could hear in her voice her care, love, & respect for him; I could hear in her voice, holding herself together, keeping the tears in. I would have loved to see her hug him back, at least, for a few moments. I’d love her to be my best friend. Oh…my heart!! Im crying…(wiping my face…). (Grabs my teddy bear, holding him close, as I cry…)
*ABSOLUTELY* . For _ME_ - *THIS* is the ENDING that _SHOULD_ have been . Its the LOVE that binds us TOGETHER that we are able to discover , and that was - in MY opinion - the *MAGIC* that _WAS_ Star Trek !
TRUE . MY take - for what _little_ its actually WORTH : As MUCH as we LOVED Ent , we HATE how the terminally BLIND ended it's run , and the TOS run , and gave us things like STD in its place . Even TNG , a potentially worthy successor to TOS (which was at the CORE of _ITS_ mission as a series) was MIRED in the earliest forms of WOKE - "Political Correctness" . There is MUCH to be grateful for with TNG , but for ME it's UNWATCHABLE , so mired in P-C as to now be something I REFUSE to put myself through . *Piccard's* 2nd half of its 2nd Season becomes some WONDERFUL Trek , having SHED the myopia that Stewart _first_ brought to this , as HIS "vision" of what he was "willing to do" with his presence in THIS series , a series intended to TRY to resurrect Trek from the ASHES of STD . Once thus ABANDONED , Piccard came to its OWN as a WORTHY part of the overall Trek Universe , and is among MY FAVORITE PERIODS of all OF Trek "History" . Even Piccard's 3rd Season is STRONG & has me looking _forward_ to season 4 , and really SHOWS what _can_ be accomplished WITHOUT the BLINDERS of the *PERSONAL "COOL"* that infects so MUCH of Trek ! This is especially true of all Trek HELMED by those who were at BEST "never fans" and at WORST *_HATED_* the whole IDEA of "Star Trek" , yet were given the reigns ? And the poison that SEEMS to run through all of Trek Production Management , _seems_ to be the same poison that killed off TOS prematurely , killed of Enterprise - again - PREMATURELY , and even did *THAT* in such a way as to remain a BAD EXPERIENCE for -all_ of Trek , today . For _ME_ - *THIS* is the ENDING that _SHOULD_ have been . Its the LOVE that binds us TOGETHER that we are able to discover , and that was - in MY opinion - the *MAGIC* that _WAS_ Star Trek !
Thats the ending the show deserved. With all the AI and animation technology we have now they could easily make a 5th season and more. Atleast all german speaking people have with "Rise of the Federation" an audio book series from Audible which continues the series after the founding of the federation.
True enough, deepfakes for faces, CGI for sets and also voices via AI (presidents play "insert game" shows they kinda work already) and one can spin untold amount of stories. Like a Firefly Season 2 too xD
I’ve always thought it unfair that Tripp never got to see the conference. Or the start of Starfleet or the Federation. This show deserved a season 5, with Tripp and T’Pol as a couple, with a child.
Little did Captian Archer would know The Enterprise would become the flagship of the United Federation of Plants.Captian Archer did not know on that very day he sign the charter UFP would have so many member worlds.Thanks for all of the work of the NX01 Enterprise the helped birthed the Federation as we know it today.
It makes me wonder how T'Pol must have felt in that embrace, Did she understand how incredible it was? It would have been perfect if Archer said, "thank you for being my number one..."
I like what you've done here and would love to share my rough edit of "These Are The Voyages..." As you said in your description the last episode is the ire of Star Trek fans everywhere. In my playlist, which takes more than two years to play through, I play the next to last episode of Enterprise as the last episode...don't worry, I do get to "These Are The Voyages" in TNG season seven. The last episode of Enterprise was a B plot for the episode "The Pegasus" from TNG season seven and what I've done is to marry the two episodes into one more coherent feature film. It's far from perfect because I really need a digitally remastered edition of The Next Generation to work from but I'm pleased with what I've done.
Hi ! I clicked on your avatar above , to see if I could find what you're talking about here . I didn't see it , and I'm interested . Any suggestions ? I probably missed it , but , well , there we are ! Thanks - - Chuck .

This show needs a proper send-off. I had always hoped they would have shown the romulan war and the 4 founding species working together for a common cause.
Trip Lives! The fans DEMAND IT!!!! Enterprise and it’s great cast GOTTHE SHAFT. There is still a great story to be told with Captain Archaer and his crew. Maybe we’ll get to see it while the cast is still in it’s prime.
This is an excellent compilation. It reminds me of how special Star Trek was before 2009. It also reminds me of how angry I was at Les Moonves for sabotaging Enterprise and at J.J. Abrams and his henchmen for wrecking Star Trek beyond repair since then. Because of them, I have no further interest in Star Trek. We lost something very special, and it's gone forever.
This alternate ending is not too bad at all. The original ending I like very much for it was realistic with drama and emotions along with it being a connection to season 6 of TNG at the same time. The only problem that I saw with this particular series is the fact that it was too short. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with it.
"It'sbeena lonnnnnng roaaaad..... Gettin' from there to here...." When that first line crooned out of the TV I had a mental gag-reflex. I could not believe they made that the intro song to Enterprise. And when I convinced a friend of mine to watch it years later (he was a Trek fan but couldn't stomach the thought of watching Enterprise when he heard the dismal reviews of it) I made him sit through every intro just to tweak his nose! I also did it so that the intro of A Mirror Darkly would be in stark contrast. But you know what? After what, a decade or so, that song has grown on me. Cuz it certainly has be a long road, getting there to here.
Thanks for doing this... the cast and crew of Enterprise did not deserve the big FY that Paramount gave them with the Riker-Troi storyline. This was a much better ending!
So four seasons & _six years later_ possibly means ten years or two five-year missions. Good run for any starship & crew. *_Enterprise: The Continuing Voyages_* [The _second_ five-year mission]
Much better. as much as I love Troi and Riker, they were out of place and the whole episode felt like a holodeck fantasy, and Troi's throwaway spoiler about Tripp's death demeaned the actual event. That gathering at the end was the birth of the Federation, but it didn't feel like a big deal, just a speech
Johnathan Archer for president 2161 The ending scene of the Enterprise's - in the real show I wish Enterprise-D was departing DS9 and Voyager was in the background - this was at that time the last Star Trek show on TV, should have seen all the "hero" ships in the end.
Yeah but it was really the fact that the network had just fired old execs and hired a bunch of fresh faced new ones that had no idea Star Trek was what fueled the network and UPN.
I still do not like Picard and Kirk inserted in the Captain's oath, IMHO it should be 'All Archer', at the end of the series to symbolize the 'Beginning' of the Federation.
Much better ending than the one Trip dies.... Great editing. I think trip Joined section 21 or something on that order in the novels.......So not Dead...

Yes, this change really happen when T'Pol went against her own Vulcan commander and, she sided with Archer (smile...smile).
My headcanon has convinced me that that hug single-handedly accelerated T'Pol's pon farr by a year or two.
In character she really couldn't have responded to his hug but it would have been awesome if she had even seemed to hug back. No, of course she couldn't do that but...very touching scene that should have been the true ending if indeed it had to end.
In the episode, The Seventh, T'Pol asked Archer to join her on a mission to capture a Vulcan fugitive. Tho an average episode, it solidified the relationship between T'Pol and Archer.
Not just respect but the love of two people on the same course.

Very well done. Enterprise deserved as many seasons as Deep Space Nine, Voyager and The Next Generation. Some episodes I didn't care for when they got too deep into the war stories. But even in those, they were well written and powerful. I miss these characters. These people. This ship. And I really appreciate how you pulled together this alternate ending edit.
A much better ending.
Such an underrated show!
Good work. I can never think of These are the Voyages as the true finale. A fifth season would've been fantastic. The Romulan War could've pushed it to seven seasons.
Yeah , there were so MANY IN-Universe stories that just screamed OUT to be told , and just SO _MUCH_ lack of vision . MY question is THIS: exactly WHY is *THIS* FAILURE the _true legacy_ of studio MANAGEMENT THROUGH - _OUT_ the history of Star Trek , right up to TODAY , when it comes to telling POSITIVE UPLIFTING STORIES about the Grand ADVENTURE that IS Humanity ??
I will probably be crucified for that but Enterprise is one of my favourite ST shows. I'm still sad that it ended when it did, I had seen so many more stories in my mind.
Enterprise had it's ups and downs, but it's not too bad overall. Not nearly so bad as some people make it out to be, however, like Voyager, it certainly had some issues. I'd still have liked to have seen another season or two though and the Romulan war and formation of the Federation.
It's one of my favorites too. All the grief that people gave it just because it had...oh my gosh...words in the theme song was beyond ridiculous. One of my favorite aspects of the series was their "ancient" technology - compared to the other series. I loved all of the characters - especially Trip. Great series indeed!
Not from me. Loved Enterprise. Just wish they hadn’t killed off Trip.
Enterprise is one of those shows that seems better with age.
@@AstriaStarwynd I completely agree!
Thank you for this. For years whenever I rewatched Enterprise, I would always skip the finale. I would always just pretend the second to last episode was the final one, because the last episode was one of the worst finales I've ever seen. Tripp dying was a gut punch or I guess sucker punch. Like what tf was the point of that? They already killed off his baby, which I think they also should not have done. Anyway really appreciate the hard work to make this right.
Killing Elizabeth in the previous episode and then killing her father in the next was a terrible decision.
Much better because it sets things up and the show could continue. In fact on a late night NYC show Jeffrey Coombs said he was going to join the enterprise in season 5. What could have been was kind of ruined with less exploring and the xindi arc.
Even Jolene blalock said the ending was bad.
Bakula said the cast disappointed not given 7 seasons. Plus it was then supposed to go into occasional movie.
The WHOLE Riker watching all this in the hollow-deck was TERRIBLE. The story line without that, wasn't too bad, except there was no need to kill off Tripp or do the years time-jump. I don't know why they think an episode is better if they get an emotional response out of people. It didn't work with killing Tripp. It was the last episode, there was no need anyway. And I LOVED the character arc between Archer and T'Pol. In the first episode he wanted to knock her on her ass. In the last, he had the utmost respect for her, even giving her a hug knowing that she was just as responsible for creating the Federation as he was.
when I clicked the link, I expected something else.
This is a nice edit.
Well done John!
Thanks!
@@JohnDiMarcothank you so much for this beautiful montage
This ending was a far better one than what we got I miss this series and it was so good near the end but I guess the higher ups didn’t see it
But it was a great series and I loved the ending that was made and to see how everyone else loved the ending
Great video. Thanks for making it.
All I can manage just now is Thank You so much for putting things right and sharing it with the world.!!
This beautiful, powerful, wonderful montage is literally breaking my heart right now…& I am crying😭😭🥰🥰❤️❤️!! Such a wonderful & imaginative series!! All the characters hold a special place in my heart. That last moment when Captain Johnathan Archer turns around, rushing over to T’Pol, embracing her out of compassion, friendship, & respect?? It tore my heart apart!! T’Pol is so beautiful, beloved, gentle, kindhearted, compassionate, noble, caring!! I would love to hug her, to thank her for being my counsel, my guide, my logic, if you will…steering our beloved crew & ship in the right direction. I would have hugged her so damn tight, breaking down in tears, to tell her just how much love, compassion, honor, friendship, & respect for her! I would not want to let go, wishing to protect her & be her friend. She’s standing there, at this sudden display of human emotion from her beloved captain. I could hear in her voice her care, love, & respect for him; I could hear in her voice, holding herself together, keeping the tears in. I would have loved to see her hug him back, at least, for a few moments. I’d love her to be my best friend. Oh…my heart!! Im crying…(wiping my face…). (Grabs my teddy bear, holding him close, as I cry…)
*ABSOLUTELY* . For _ME_ - *THIS* is the ENDING that _SHOULD_ have been .
Its the LOVE that binds us TOGETHER that we are able to discover , and that was - in MY opinion - the *MAGIC* that _WAS_
Star Trek !
Absolutely well done, this was the best that Enterprise had to offer!
This ending is way better.
what improvement over the real star trek Enterprise ending nice to see Trip alive too.
Thank you. This is the way that I have always thought that it should end in my head too! Thank you for making this video.
It's been a long road...
Getting from there to here.
@@dave36464736there and back again
And I’ve got faith of the harrrrrrt
It's been also 20 years and captain Archer hasn't returned to our TV screens yet either physically or as an A.I. and we're not getting any younger!
Well done, this is much better 👍🏻
I don't think I hated an ending for a tv show as much as I did Enterprise.
TRUE .
MY take - for what _little_ its actually WORTH :
As MUCH as we LOVED Ent , we HATE how the terminally BLIND ended it's run , and the TOS run , and gave us things like STD in its place .
Even TNG , a potentially worthy successor to TOS (which was at the CORE of _ITS_ mission as a series) was MIRED in the earliest forms of WOKE - "Political Correctness" .
There is MUCH to be grateful for with TNG , but for ME it's UNWATCHABLE , so mired in P-C as to now be something I REFUSE to put myself through .
*Piccard's* 2nd half of its 2nd Season becomes some WONDERFUL Trek , having SHED the myopia that Stewart _first_ brought to this , as HIS "vision" of what he was "willing to do" with his presence in THIS series , a series intended to TRY to resurrect Trek from the ASHES of STD .
Once thus ABANDONED , Piccard came to its OWN as a WORTHY part of the overall Trek Universe , and is among MY FAVORITE PERIODS of all OF Trek "History" .
Even Piccard's 3rd Season is STRONG & has me looking _forward_ to season 4 , and really SHOWS what _can_ be accomplished WITHOUT the BLINDERS of the *PERSONAL "COOL"* that infects so MUCH of Trek ! This is especially true of all Trek HELMED by those who were at BEST "never fans" and at WORST *_HATED_* the whole IDEA of "Star Trek" , yet were given the reigns ?
And the poison that SEEMS to run through all of Trek Production Management , _seems_ to be the same poison that killed off TOS prematurely , killed of Enterprise - again - PREMATURELY , and even did *THAT* in such a way as to remain a BAD EXPERIENCE for -all_ of Trek , today .
For _ME_ - *THIS* is the ENDING that _SHOULD_ have been .
Its the LOVE that binds us TOGETHER that we are able to discover , and that was - in MY opinion - the *MAGIC* that _WAS_
Star Trek !
Quantum Leap's ending was another one that I hated.
@@anthonyreed3682neither were his fault, but what's the deal with Scott Bakula and the worst series endings of all time?
@@DerechosLair probably just a Scott bakula curse
@@DerechosLair or possibly the bad luck of being in series that got canceled before their time, and no time to come up with a proper ending.
Thats the ending the show deserved. With all the AI and animation technology we have now they could easily make a 5th season and more.
Atleast all german speaking people have with "Rise of the Federation" an audio book series from Audible which continues the series after the founding of the federation.
True enough, deepfakes for faces, CGI for sets and also voices via AI (presidents play "insert game" shows they kinda work already) and one can spin untold amount of stories. Like a Firefly Season 2 too xD
while Enterprise was flawed, it did have some good moments, and that is a touching edit and tribute, well done. I felt emotional watching that.
Maybe J.J Abrams, will have the production team to bring back Archer & Enterprise, an make up for what it was lacking from its T. V series
If you had edited in audio of Archer saying something about Trip still existing to T'Pol while his back was turned -- that would have been perfect.
I’ve always thought it unfair that Tripp never got to see the conference. Or the start of Starfleet or the Federation. This show deserved a season 5, with Tripp and T’Pol as a couple, with a child.
Loved this, thanks indeed.
Great show, WAY underrated!!
Little did Captian Archer would know The Enterprise would become the flagship of the United Federation of Plants.Captian Archer did not know on that very day he sign the charter UFP would have so many member worlds.Thanks for all of the work of the NX01 Enterprise the helped birthed the Federation as we know it today.
It makes me wonder how T'Pol must have felt in that embrace, Did she understand how incredible it was? It would have been perfect if Archer said, "thank you for being my number one..."
Much better ending than the one they gave us
I like what you've done here and would love to share my rough edit of "These Are The Voyages..."
As you said in your description the last episode is the ire of Star Trek fans everywhere. In my playlist, which takes more than two years to play through, I play the next to last episode of Enterprise as the last episode...don't worry, I do get to "These Are The Voyages" in TNG season seven. The last episode of Enterprise was a B plot for the episode "The Pegasus" from TNG season seven and what I've done is to marry the two episodes into one more coherent feature film. It's far from perfect because I really need a digitally remastered edition of The Next Generation to work from but I'm pleased with what I've done.
Hi ! I clicked on your avatar above , to see if I could find what you're talking about here . I didn't see it , and I'm interested . Any suggestions ? I probably missed it , but , well , there we are !

This show needs a proper send-off. I had always hoped they would have shown the romulan war and the 4 founding species working together for a common cause.
Loved this show. And Tripp doesn't die!!!!
Thank you for this healed ending!!! It is so much truer than the ending they concocted!!!
This was one of the cancellations i never understood. There was so much more they could do with this show...
Trip Lives! The fans DEMAND IT!!!! Enterprise and it’s great cast GOTTHE SHAFT. There is still a great story to be told with Captain Archaer and his crew. Maybe we’ll get to see it while the cast is still in it’s prime.
This is an excellent compilation. It reminds me of how special Star Trek was before 2009. It also reminds me of how angry I was at Les Moonves for sabotaging Enterprise and at J.J. Abrams and his henchmen for wrecking Star Trek beyond repair since then. Because of them, I have no further interest in Star Trek. We lost something very special, and it's gone forever.
I really miss this show
WAY (!!!!!) better than the original. Good job.
This alternate ending is not too bad at all. The original ending I like very much for it was realistic with drama and emotions along with it being a connection to season 6 of TNG at the same time. The only problem that I saw with this particular series is the fact that it was too short. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with it.
"It'sbeena lonnnnnng roaaaad..... Gettin' from there to here...."
When that first line crooned out of the TV I had a mental gag-reflex. I could not believe they made that the intro song to Enterprise.
And when I convinced a friend of mine to watch it years later (he was a Trek fan but couldn't stomach the thought of watching Enterprise when he heard the dismal reviews of it) I made him sit through every intro just to tweak his nose! I also did it so that the intro of A Mirror Darkly would be in stark contrast.
But you know what? After what, a decade or so, that song has grown on me. Cuz it certainly has be a long road, getting there to here.
We all know that the final episode was just a holo-novel. This was how it really happened.
The whole damn series was just a holonovel.
It makes you wonder what they were smoking when they chose the other ending.
This is far and away a better eniding
Nice edit. Just add a few shots of NX- E, Andorrans, etc firing at vintage Romulan ships with caption “we didn’t see the War” and it’ll be perfect. 🖖
Why do I have to think of Babylon 5 s Intro now.... "The Babylon project was out last best hope for peace... we failed..."
I am the 1000th like on this video. It's makes me quite happy !!!
BRAVO a very nice alternative ending
Thanks for doing this... the cast and crew of Enterprise did not deserve the big FY that Paramount gave them with the Riker-Troi storyline. This was a much better ending!
Charles "Trip" Tucker III must live for the fans and his parents, who already suffered enough.
I am not crying! You're crying!
A better ending to be sure!
"Let us make sure that history never forgets the name 'Enterprise'." ~ Picard
So four seasons & _six years later_ possibly means ten years or two five-year missions. Good run for any starship & crew.
*_Enterprise: The Continuing Voyages_*
[The _second_ five-year mission]
Excellent job. I would substitute and recommend this version over the original crap last episode any time. Well done.
4:31 can anyone truly look heroic in a onesie jumpsuit? - Kidding aside I enjoyed this edit, nicely done.
MUCH BETTER THAN THE "OFFICIAL" ENDING!
If only there was a way of getting Trip into the balcony seats with everyone else.
I can easily see it as Trip in a deep space mission and hasn't return just in time.
Tripp was commanding his own ship, patrolling the milky way!
Busy working on the next generation of ships...
All i can say is like many others we hated the original ending. This was far more fitting of an ending. Bravo!!
I can live with not finding out that Riker was chef
Much better. as much as I love Troi and Riker, they were out of place and the whole episode felt like a holodeck fantasy, and Troi's throwaway spoiler about Tripp's death demeaned the actual event. That gathering at the end was the birth of the Federation, but it didn't feel like a big deal, just a speech
Well done! Bravo!
Johnathan Archer for president 2161
The ending scene of the Enterprise's - in the real show I wish Enterprise-D was departing DS9 and Voyager was in the background - this was at that time the last Star Trek show on TV, should have seen all the "hero" ships in the end.
Star Trek:
A New Enterprise
.
Could this be the name of a new objectively good series?
This is great!
A good enuff ending that it made me cry.
Enteprise is what happens when network executives have too much control
Yeah but it was really the fact that the network had just fired old execs and hired a bunch of fresh faced new ones that had no idea Star Trek was what fueled the network and UPN.
I can't believe how bad Kurtzman's hatefiction Trek series have made me look back on Enterprise fondly.
I still do not like Picard and Kirk inserted in the Captain's oath, IMHO it should be 'All Archer', at the end of the series to symbolize the 'Beginning' of the Federation.
Much MUCH Better
Nicely done.
Much better ending than the one Trip dies.... Great editing. I think trip Joined section 21 or something on that order in the novels.......So not Dead...
