'Enterprise' grapsing at straws?

Frakes And Sirtis To Appear In 'Enterprise' Finale?
"Star Trek: Enterprise" saw its ratings improve from "dismal" to "lukewarm" with the three episodes it ran last November featuring Brent Spiner of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Now comes word the producers are trying to line up "TNG" stars Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis to appear in this year's season finale.

Apparently the producers feel that if it worked once, why not do it again? Does this strike anyone else as a desparate move when you consider there is a very good chance the season finale could turn out to be the series finale. Plans to being in William Shatner have fallen through over a salary disoute, so I guess the powers that be think this is the next best thing.

"Enterprise" has improved this year. However, I agree with Viacom honcho Les Moonves, who seems to think it might be time give "Star Trek" a rest for a while.
