En rejäl dos info om en femte Star Trek serie

Brannon Braga talade nyligen med Anna L. Kaplan på Fandom.com om en femte Star Trek serie.




Om ryktet om att serien inte skulle få nåt "pilot" avsnitt säger Braga:
"I've told you, at the very least, that we are writing the pilot, and that we are deeply immersed in the pilot script. Ken Biller has taken over Voyager officially. I did a script for him, and a story for him, but at some point I had to step away to work full-time on the new show, on the pilot, which Rick Berman and I have been working on diligently for the past month. It's very exciting."




Han fortsätter: "It's going to be quintessential Star Trek. It hopefully will rekindle the adventure and thrill of the franchise, and at the same time reinvent it. I said it before, we don't to plop a new crew on a new ship and title it Star Trek: Intrepid. We've got to do something that at once recaptures the heart and soul of Star Trek while at the same time reinvents Star Trek to make it different and fresh and bring it into the 21st century. We think we've found a way to do that. This concept for the series is something Rick and I talked about almost two years ago, and we've been developing it for a very, very long time, very, very carefully, along with Paramount Pictures. I am happy to say that although it's taken a very long time to get going, we have not rushed this at all. By the time this thing gets on the air it will have been two, two-and-a-half years in the making, and that is a blessing. This series is an important step in the franchise's future, and you don't want to just rush it out."




Angående förseningar, kanske beroende på UPNs skakiga tillstånd, säger han:"We are just focusing on what we have been hired to do, which is to create the best series that we can, and write a drop-dead pilot. The politics and finances of what happens with the studio and the network are really so far beyond our realm of expertise and control, that there is really nothing we can do or say or influence. I think it's probably a safe bet that Star Trek, this new series, will end up comfortably somewhere. We're just not exactly sure where yet... We don't know what is happening with UPN. We still have to finish this pilot, and turn it into the studio and get notes, and rewrite it. We have to figure out where we are going to sell it. I have to imagine it will be several months before we make any kind of announcement about the show's premise or storyline."
