This makes Fincke the second person who has actually been in space to appear on Star Trek. In one episode of ST: The Next Generator (it's the one where an old teleporter accident created a double of Riker), Mae Jaemison did a cameo as a teleporter operator. Jaemison, for the record, was the first African American woman in space.

This final episode, of the four year series, will air on UPN at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time this Friday, May 13, 2005. The previous hour [8:00 p.m. Eastern], UPN will broadcast the second-to-last episode; hence, these last two episodes will be broadcast back-to-back on the network. People who live in other time zones should check their listings for the correct time the program will air. For those who live in a city which does not have a UPN affiliate, "Star Trek: Enterprise" is syndicated to some other television stations, as well. You should check your local listings for the date, time, and channel that broadcasts this program.
