EDITORIAL: Why I Embraced Brannon Braga’s Star Trek After Years of Unfairly Blaming Him
During the last golden age of Star Trek on television from 1993-2005, fans became ever more connected due to the internet, and specifically fan sites dedicated to Trek and message boards. While this was wonderful in bringing us together, every episode and series was analyzed, criticized, and the writers sometimes vilified. Of the many who faced the ire of Trek fans during the respective runs of Voyager and Enterprise, none received as much vitriol as Brannon Braga despite him being responsible for some of the most celebrated Star Trek episodes in the entire franchise.

Bryan has 22 writing credits for Trek, which will probably get rewatched more in the next six months than they might otherwise.
