These are the Voyages

First aired May 13, 2005

Commander William Riker of the Enterprise-D is torn between his loyalty to Captain Picard and his duty to a former captain.

Why is this here?

And, of course, that brings us to “These are the Voyages,” the much-maligned finale which uses the framing of a TNG episode to tell an ENT story. I’ve moved this to appear after the TNG episode it is supposed to take place during, as that makes the most sense, even though that does rather emphasize some ways they don’t QUITE line up as well as you might think if you don’t watch them back-to-back. This also has the advantage of making the Demons-Terra Prime two-parter into the de facto season finale, which I think is a much stronger way to end Enterprise (for now).
