Brannon Braga leaves Star Trek for good
Brannon Braga — who once worked with Battlestar Galactica’s creator Ron Moore on several Star Trek series and is arguably responsible for setting in motion a chain of events that led to the creation of BSG — has announced he sees no future for himself aboard the Starship Enterprise, according to this report from the SciFi Wire.
Braga is now an executive producer on CBS’ new SF drama Threshold and has left Trek behind. “You know how it is,” he said. “You did something for a long time. Star Trek was very good to me. And I certainly did my best to contribute to Star Trek. But there just comes a point where I’m not sure what else I would have to give. I certainly could see the financial value in it, but at this point, creatively, I would not want to be involved in something that I couldn’t give to.”
One can only hope that Rick Berman, the other man who helped run the Star Trek franchise straight into the ground, will do the same.
