Brannon Braga is talking again about the eternal bane of STAR TREK creators. Or, it has been since the advent of the Internet. Leaks, and rumors.
In an interview with Ohio's Beacon Journal, Braga talked about how frustrated he was to find accurate details of next fall's wrap-up episode to ENTERPRISE's season one cliffhanger on the web.
"We get criticisms of our scripts the day they go out (to show staff)," Braga said. "On the one hand, you're really disappointed that the entire plot line of part two of the cliffhanger can be seen (online) right now. Generally speaking, the fans are incredibly articulate and passionate, and it's worth paying attention to. It's the equivalent of getting fan mail in some ways -- except it's much more candid because they don't know you're reading. There's a lot of expletives and insults. But if you can get through that, there is a lot of very valuable feedback."
He also revealed the first big time-travel episode of the series will have the crew coming back to the 1950s launch of the Sputnik satellite.
"It's going to turn out that the Vulcans were keeping an eye on Sputnik when it got launched," Berman said. "[The Vulcans] have a little accident and have to land in western Pennsylvania.... It's going to turn out that Zefram Cochrane was not the first human to make contact with Vulcans."
