Season 4: The Last (and GO AWAY BRANNON!)
By Jodeo

Well this is good news. Yes, S3 was quite good in contrast to several of the seasons of VOY and ENT. But the novelty of the newness of man's first Warp-5 trek into space is gone and ENT is at its base another ship-based Trek.

Enterprise will at least get to 100 episodes, but I can't see it going beyond season 4. Brannon is right in one respect: After a season of arcs, where do you go?

At best, S4 will have more, smaller arcs. They may inject Shatner or even Stewart to pump things up a bit. Q? I hope not -- unless he's the "original" Q we hated and feared vs. the Voyager cutsie Q. And Romulans? Already done -- let's move on.

Assuming S4 is the last, they have to set up the Federation back story and make it something viewers want to watch. Dabble into some TOS landscapes for nostalgia. Cross paths with Kirks ancestors -- or Picards or any other major Trek character. Maybe even meet a Vulcan kid named Sarek. Why not have someone from the mirror universe come to "OUR" universe for a change? And to ice the cake: They have to resolve the Suliban/Future Guy arc and (perhaps) figure out a way to resolve the future that's been messed up.

If that means an altered future timeline where Kirk DOESN'T die, he could be sent back somehow to fix the timeline (to the expense of much of Ent's entire story) and save the future. Or at least show Archer how he could've saved BIG on airline prices... or perhaps represent him in court as Denny Crane.

It's been a great run. I just hope season 4 will bring at least half the excitement Brannon's news. If it does, it'll be the best year of Trek ever.
