Marina Sirtis talks about her guest role on Star Trek: Enterprise finale
Marina Sirtis, who played Counselor Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation, opened up about her controversial appearance in the Star Trek: Enterprise series finale alongside Jonathan Frakes’ Commander Will Riker.
In an unusual creative decision, the series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise focused heavily on the characters played by Frakes and Sirtis, even though they were not part of the main cast. The original cast of the series was largely sidelined for the finale, which resulted in a polarized response from fans.
Additionally, the finale left several plot lines unresolved. It created loose ends and included a character death that many viewers found unnecessary.
Sirtis discussed the finale during an appearance on The Show People Podcast.
“Well, the first time they asked me to do Voyager, I said no. Then the second time they asked me to do Voyager, before I could say no, they said, ‘You’ll be acting with Bob Picardo,’ who I adore. And I went ‘Oh, all right.’ Bob Picardo and Dwight Schulz, who I adore if we don’t talk politics…,” Sirtis began.
“Then they asked me and Jonathan to do the last episode of Enterprise…,” she added, to which Keates asked, “That went down quite well, didn’t it?”
Sirtis responded, “Like a cup of hot sick. Because, really, it was a TNG episode, ‘cause we were real and they were holograms… But yeah, the Enterprise cast were not happy that we were there at all…” She added, “Mind you, there’s one thing… I was there on the first day of TNG, and Jonathan and I were the last shot of Enterprise, and then the lights went out. So I was there at the beginning, and I was there at the end.”
The finale of Star Trek: Enterprise remains a controversial topic to this day.
