"These Are the Voyages..." is the series finale of the American science
fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise. The episode, which
first aired on the UPN network on May 13, 2005, is a frame story, where
the 22nd-century events of Star Trek: Enterprise are recreated on a
24th-century holodeck on Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next
Generation. Featuring guest stars Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and
Jeffrey Combs, the episode has Commander William Riker grappling with
making a difficult admission to his commanding officer about a cover-up.
Riker turns for guidance to the simulated events of the year 2161, when
the crew of Enterprise travels home to Earth for the formation of the
United Federation of Planets and Commander Trip Tucker, played by Connor
Trinneer (pictured), saves the captain's life. UPN and Paramount had
announced in February 2005 that the fourth season would be the show's
last. Reaction to the series finale was negative, although it attracted
3.8 million viewers.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
I charge you — forget the names you bear, forget the words I
speak as soon as they are uttered. Look, rather, upon the Nameless
within yourselves, which arises as I address it. It hearkens not to my
words, but to the reality within me, of which it is part. This is the
atman, which hears me rather than my words. All else is unreal. To
define is to lose. The essence of all things is the Nameless. The
Nameless is unknowable, mightier even than Brahma. Things pass, but the
essence remains. You sit, therefore, in the midst of a dream. Essence
dreams it a dream of form. Forms pass, but the essence remains, dreaming
new dreams. Man names these dreams and thinks to have captured the
essence, not knowing that he invokes the unreal. These stones, these
walls, these bodies you see seated about you are poppies and water and
the sun. They are the dreams of the Nameless. They are fire, if you
like.
