Rick Berman described the producers’ view that providing an organic-feeling final episode to properly wrap things up would be impossible

honestly i think Terra Firma Part II would have gotten the job done fine, and if they had kept everything as is but called it the finale and left These Are The Voyages as a DVD extra or a TV “movie” people would have been happier. or at least they’d have an easier time detaching their distate for TATV from the rest of Enterprise

that bit about Trinner saying “ok, kill me!” is funny as hell
