In the Season 2 finale (8 p.m. UPN), the ship and its crew head to the brink of an outer-space Bermuda Triangle known as the Delphic Expanse, charting a course for war in an effort to rescue Earth, humanity and ratings. The episode promises a new plot line and loads of computer- generated pyrotechnics next season, but the usual hokey writing and uneasy acting clearly changed a bit. The conflict starts with a devastating salvo, when a mysterious probe from the far reaches of the galaxy cuts a swath of ruin from Florida to Venezuela, killing 7 million people. Capt.

Archer (Scott Bakula) and the Enterprise, the only Earth vessel with the technology to confront this menace, set out on their new mission saving the planet. The attackers turn out to be an alien race called the Xindi, launching a preemptive strike after learning that Earthlings will destroy their world in 400 years. According to a time traveler, the probe was merely a test and the Xindi are building a bigger weapon. To find the Xindi, the Enterprise must venture into the dreaded Expanse, a zone so wicked that it turns even Klin- gons into scaredy-cats. In the Expanse, human bodies and the laws of physics apparently are turned inside out.

As the Enterprise begins its voyage, Sub-Commander (Jolene Blalock) receives an order from the Vulcans and must choose between her duty to her high command and her illogical loyalty to Capt. Archer. Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Trip Tucker (Connor Trinneer) suffers a personal blow when he learns that his sister and his hometown were zapped in the attack. The episode ends on a teasing note as Archer orders his ensign, and steady, Mr. Mayweather, see in But only die-hard Trek- kies are likely to be lured along for the ride.

Talk Shows Already destined to place fourth for the May rating sweeps, ABC faces two dubious cliffhangers as the TV season ratings race nears the finish line, with Fox breathing down its neck in total viewing and CBS looking to edge it out among key adult demographics, based on viewing estimates issued Tuesdayby Nielsen Media Research.

Fox which through Sunday trails ABC by a mere 150,000 viewers in an average minute of prime time figures to get a significant boost from the finale tonight, marking the official end of the TV season that began in September. Fox has never beaten one of the three elder networks in total audience for the season. CBS, the most-watched network, is also neck-and-neck with ABC among young-adult demographics. ABC is assured a fourth-place finish by both measures for the current sweeps, which also concludestonight. NBC helped its cause Sunday with back-to-back episodes of Order: Criminal which drew a larger audience than finale and miniseries The Rise of also surged with its expanded ninth- season finale.
