Braga, it needs to be famous, is likely one of the co-creators of “Enterprise,” so his trip from “Star Trek” did not final terribly lengthy — “Voyager” led to Could of 2000, “Enterprise” debuted in September of 2001 — however a trip was taken. Braga knew that younger upstarts and recent concepts had been required to maintain the franchise recent and, nicely, he merely did not have these concepts anymore. He mentioned:
“‘Star Trek’ at all times wants recent blood. I left earlier than ‘Enterprise;’ I simply mentioned, ‘I can not do that anymore.’ I keep in mind the place I used to be and what I used to be engaged on and the place I used to be standing and at what time limit after I formally burnt out on ‘Star Trek.’ I made a decision to not do the seventh season of ‘Voyager’ after which I used to be requested to create ‘Enterprise.’ Rick had a very cool concept for it and I mentioned, ‘You understand what? I am going to do that another time.’ One might argue perhaps I should not have. Rick was a very good overlord, however even he wanted recent writers. One might argue perhaps we each ought to have left earlier.”
Braga’s dismissive language relating to “Enterprise” stems from the present’s total low reputation. Scores had been at all times a problem with “Enterprise,” a present set a century earlier than the occasions of the unique “Star Trek” collection, and post-9/11 audiences weren’t within the temper for Trek’s optimism. Not like NextGen and “Voyager,” which ran seven seasons every, “Enterprise” was canceled after solely 4. Braga appears to really feel that having the very same inventive group behind yet one more “Star Trek” collection maybe harmed “Enterprise.”
However Braga, when trying again, beloved engaged on “Enterprise.” He mentioned he could not bear to write down one other story set within the twenty fourth century, however the twenty second was interesting.
