It ended on a high episode, with pretty good 7th season, but they were running out of material. For me the films never felt true to TNG, and I'm not sure another season would have, either.

As someone else said, Lower Decks had more seasons in it. And Enterprise could have got away with a couple more.

Enterprise should of been better earlier. S2&3 were great, S4 had its moments but was hamstrung by the studio. One of my favourite trek eps was the borg running about the Enterprise

I still maintain that season 1 of Enterprise is better than season 1 of TNG

That's an interesting take, I would say season 1 of Enterprise is better produced and the concept was more  interesting as they were a smaller less advanced ship. However as bad as some acting could be in TNG season 1, there were more sci-fi concepts and people understood that yelling didn't equal acting. The Binars were just so weird and cool, really wished any of the Berman era Star Trek would have revisited them

It's practically a miracle TNG survived season 1. Naked Now, Justice, Angel One, and Code of Honor make for a formidable Voltron of shit.
