Feb 08 | While his "Lost" co-stars prepare to pack up and leave Hawaii, Daniel Dae Kim can plan to remain there for at least a few more months. Mr. Kim, who plays the time-traveling tough guy Jin on "Lost," has been the first actor cast in a coming remake of the crime drama "Hawaii Five-O," The Hollywood Reporter said. He has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly, a detective played by Kam Fong in the original series, which began in 1968. The "Hawaii Five-O" revival is being developed by the screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Star Trek," "Fringe") and Peter Lenkov, an executive producer of "CSI: NY."

Many critics have weighed in on the final episode of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE, "These Are The Voyages...". The series finale ends 18 years of almost non-stop STAR TREK production on the small screen.
SciFi.com is decidedly lukewarm, writing: "Even without the intrusive presence of Riker and Troi, the episode doesn't live up to the season's best episodes, which include the excellent two-parter "In a Mirror, Darkly." The central plot, in which the Enterprise crew returns to Rigel X (the very first planet they visited in Enterprise's pilot episode, "Broken Bow"), centers on a rescue mission that is of little consequence to the series' prequel arc and is merely an excuse to set up the demise of a central character. Once that sacrifice is made, it seems to have little resonance for the remaining crew members (compare the touching wake for Tasha Yar in TNG's "Skin of Evil"). At the end, the audience is robbed even of Archer's triumphant moment before the newly formed Federation."

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette likes the finale, claiming "What's nice about this finale is that even those of us who long ago gave up watching STAR TREK can appreciate the nods to the past, present and future "Trek" crews, including a toast "to the next generation," a joke about Captain Picard's aquarium and a closing sequence that links three of the TV shows."
"I never hated ENTERPRISE the way I abhorred VOYAGER for squandering an interesting premise after only a handful of episodes; I just got bored with "Star Trek." The ENTERPRISE finale - and some good word-of-mouth about the current season - makes me wish I'd stuck with it. And that's a better way for a show to end its run - leaving a viewer wanting more."

Ain't It Cool News's 'Herc' posted a positive review of the finale, awarding 3.5/5 stars to the episode and writing: "It is not appalling. It is certainly the weakest TREK series finale since 1969's "The Turnabout Intruder," but this represents faint condemnation. The episode boasts...virtues."
'Herc' lists what is so good about the finale "The fact that the TNG regulars play decidedly supportive roles. The loving recreation of the Enterprise-D, with its strangely multihued new-age consoles and oddly-shaped arches. The Patrick Stewart body-double glimpsed so fleetingly in the opening seconds of act one. Jeffrey Combs generally, but especially the way he spits out "former associates." The little Andorian girl. The "flashback." No Ferengi! The always-compelling Blalock, betraying onscreen no hint of her contempt for the teleplay. "Did you find him attractive?" The Phlox moment that recalls too vividly the promise of the ENTERPRISE pilot. T'Pol's final scene."
The original review can be found here.
Elsewhere in the Boston Herald, writer Mark A. Perigard reports on finale: "Ten minutes of this dreck and you'll be trying to give yourself a Vulcan neck pinch.
"If this really is STAR TREK THE LAST GENERATION, blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of co-creators and writers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, who have stewarded the TREK franchise for the last 15 years through increasingly turgid films and series."

In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine, just out in the US, critic Marc Bernardin gives the STAR TREK ENTERPRISE finale "These Are The Voyages..." a grade of "B".
"This is the end of the voyages of the starship Enterprise." wrote Bernardin in his review "Its mission: to make sci-fi history, to redefine pop culture, to go off the air in a manner that does not suck. Mission accomplished, mostly. No, the finale does not reveal that Captain Archer's foray through the universe was one big holodeck fantasy (despite a visit by NEXT GENERATION vets Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis). But does it feel like a fitting send-off for a TV institution? Not really. Then again, it probably never could have."
And USA Today posted an editorial on the ending of the STAR TREK franchise here.
