Braga: I’m Done With Trek

Veteran Star Trek writer and producer Brannon Braga says that he is through with the 40 year old sci-fi icon for the foreseeable future.

“At the moment, yeah,” Braga said in an interview with SciFi Wire. “There will be a lot of fans cheering about that,” he added wryly, referring to the often caustic fan criticism directed at him during his 15 years as a writer and producer on Trek series and movies.

When questioned if asked to return in some form to the famous franchise Braga said, “if they came to me today, I would have to be very flattered, but politely decline.”

Braga is now an executive producer on CBS’ new Sci-Fi drama Threshold. “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.”

Threshold moves to a new timeslot, Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, beginning Nov. 22.
