Jedi's right that this isn't the end of Trek. It's a good point, one that was also made by Ron Moore recently. There's no need to be overdramatic -- the fact that it's the end of Enterprise is bad enough on its own.

But I also think that doesn't matter. If there's ever been a link between quality and renewal -- or ratings -- it's long gone now.
