10 Star Trek Episodes That Actors Regret

8. These Are The Voyages - Most Of The Main Cast

Star Trek Enterprise Riker
CBS

The final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise depicted the crew that audiences had been following for four years as holograms with Riker interacting with them throughout the episode. It was designed by Brannon Braga as a valentine to Star Trek in general and was panned by critics and cast alike. In the years that passed, Braga began to apologise profusely for it.

He believed that the episode was a narcissistic attempt to make a tribute to all of Trek but failed. He said that in all of the time on Enterprise, this episode was the only one that caused Scott Bakula to get pissed off at him. Jolene Blalock described it as simply awful, while guest star Jonathan Frakes bluntly said that it stinks.

Although some of the featured actors, such as Dominic Keating, John Billingsley and Marina Siritis took a softer approach, it is fair to say that as the last episode of the show overall, it was a misjudged endeavour. Many of the crew consider the preceding episodes, Terra Firma and Demons, to be the actual finale to Enterprise. Oh and that entire scene with Trip? Dream sequence. Prove us wrong.
