I agree with one commentator when he said that The Dominion story arc killed Star Trek. It made absolutely fantastic TV but then having to see Janeway and Archer go back to the old ways of trying to talk your way out of a fight just seemed dull and boring in comparison.

I thought that was handled really well. You had a slow burn of the coming conflict as early as Season 2 onward until the war finally broke out significantly later. Lots of memorable moments. Heck, we finally got to see what the Breen look like!

As for what killed Star Trek (for a while), that would probably have been Enterprise Season 3. The whole Temporal Cold War was meh as it was, but the whole Xindi arc was all kinds of terrible. Sad the show didn't make it past Season 4 though. The show runners were planning to show the Federation-Romulan conflict...and we never learned who "the Future Guy" was. Apparently he was planned to be a messed up version of Captain Archer somehow, but we'll never see it in action.
