Well, personally my views were:-

During most of the episode - not too bad (though they seemed to be aiming at the action end of the market)

Then the last few moments - not so much oh boy as oh good grief, did you have to?

I have to say, I do watch Enterprise and indeed all the Treks regularly (I prefer Firefly, but I've only missed about one episode of any of the Treks)but the last couple of minutes I just thought were chronic

Next season will end with them crashing into the World Trade Center.

Alien Nazis? Is it a time shift? If so whywhywhywhywhywhy? They have a great timeperiod with a myriad of stories to tell. Whats the point of doing a prequel series if they keep spending all their time in other times? I would love to have seen the war with the Romulans leading to the birth of the Federation, but no we get time traveling aliens we've never heard of, multi dimensional invaders, and a series that has no direction.

However the alien Nazis and P-51s did raise interesting questions. How can the racial purity of the Nazis tolerate an alien in their midst? Will Enterprise encounter Troy and Dillon from Galactica 1980 only to loose them again when Dr. Who shows up pursued by renegade bandits from the 25th Century who are in turn defeated by the fortuitous arrival of Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon? I can answer those questions. Hold on, I'll ask my future self who just walked in the door. But what if I choose never to go back in time to answer my own questions? AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! HEad exploding. Must turn off TV. Get excercise. Fresh air. Sunlight........

Bloody hell ghoulman! Do you ever shut up about Enterprise? If you dislike the show as much as you constantly say why do you even bother watching it in the first place?

Looking forward to next season. I expect the cliffhanger will be tied up in the first few episodes, not the whole season.

I think its a tie up of the Zindi Reptilian and biological weapon sub plot from season 3.

It's true what Braga and Berman say; Star Trek fanboys will watch anything.

The Quantom Leap ending is, I can only devine, yet another 'flip off' to the Trek fans of the past. It's happened before. As Enterprise went from season to season, the number of blatant mistakes can't just be from a complete lack of story telling talent or even High School level writing. I'd bet a Ferrengi the world that Braga does these things just to laugh at viewers who just don't get it. In my humble opinion ... if I'm allowed to have an opinion (seems many people think I shouldn't).

Okay, I missed the finale. Alien Nazis???

But I think you're wrong in blaming Braga. Everything I've heard and read has indicated that it's primarily and almost solely Rick Berman who deliberately tries to piss off long-standing Trekkers. He has openly said that continuity means nothing to him, and expressed a desire to do something that explicitly violates the continuity of the Trek universe (like, I dunno, kill Sarek on Enterprise?). He's also been one of the ones behind the push to make Star Trek more accessible to non-fans. This is, in my opinion, a losing proposition; non-fans mostly won't watch it because it's Star Trek, and fans get disgusted by the constant attempts to appeal to non-fans.

That said, I've enjoyed a lot of Enterprise, even if Travis Mayweather has been less developed in 3 seasons than the least developed character on Firefly (Shepherd Book, says I) was in 13 episodes.

Anyway, take home point: Consider Rick Berman as the target of your ire. He's slowly becoming the target of mine.

Or, hate FOX because without their idiocy there'd still be a better sci-fi show on the air...
