For sci-fi fans, the two hour season finale for Star Trek: Enterprise is tonight.
After the two-hour finale airs tonight this will be the first time in 18 years that no first-run Trek series is on TV.

I agree with critics that this franchise, and Gene Roddenbury's original vision, simply lost touch with an increasingly sophisticated and jaded audience.
While the idealized world of Star Trek dies, a competitor like Battlestar Galactica, with its flawed human's, sex, religious overtones, terrorism, and bleak outlook for the future, was the number one drama on American cable TV through the winter.
Star Trek died while another "Wagon Train To The Stars" thrived.
Its interesting to note that Battlestar Galactica is in fact, the vision of former Star Trek writers who now have the freedom to do what the tight Star Trek franchise had denied them, the pointed criticism something you can certainly see in this brief note from the creator.
