"The final episode is ... appalling."
By Davidude

There is an interview with Jolene Blalock in Sunday's Toronto Star.
This is the link:

Part of the article goes on to say:
A former fan herself (her favourite character as a kid was, not surprisingly, Mr. Spock), the actress, despite her vested interest, has never been shy about dissing her own show.

"I mean, we started out with 13 million viewers on the pilot, and we somehow managed to drive 11 million of them away."

Ironically, things had improved dramatically — in terms of content, if not resultant ratings — in this fourth and final season, under the stewardship of producer and self-confessed Trek geek Manny Coto, who brought back a lot of the self-referencing retro continuity the hardcore fan just can't get enough of.

"That was a treat, a joy to do," Blalock enthuses. "It was an unexpected surprise to have the scripts that we did (this season). And I am grateful and thankful for that. It was fun to come to work again.

"And it was certainly much better than spending another season doing what we had been doing. It said a lot about the potential of the show."

There is an awkward silence when the subject of the final episode is broached. "I don't know where to begin with that one," she finally stammers. "The final episode is ... appalling."

She feels sorry for the fans. "I really am touched by their outpour of support, and their display of passion for the show. I was sort of caught off-guard. I didn't know that they were so adamant.
