If Brannon Braga<\/strong> had had his way, an iconic Star Trek<\/em> character would have made a guest star appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Crossovers were nothing new for Star Trek<\/em> or for Braga, who controversially put Commander Riker and Counselor Troi in the finale to Star Trek: Enterprise<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Enterprise<\/em> guest appearance that Braga hoped to have happen but didn’t was that of William Shatner<\/strong> as Captain Kirk. “The only crossover that was exciting was there was a brief time when we were going to put Captain Kirk on Enterprise<\/em>,” said Braga, “and we even met with William Shatner, but it just never happened.<\/p>\n

“We had some story concocted about why Kirk was there and how he got there. I don’t remember. I think Shatner had a pitch. It was actually going to be a pretty cool two-part episode. I don’t know exactly what happened. It might have been that we couldn’t make a deal with Shatner or something like that.”<\/p>\n

Braga is currently working on the Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> comic mini-series from IDW Publishing, as well as Malice<\/em>, a new FX series, and a reboot of Carl Sagan<\/strong>‘s Cosmos<\/em> for Fox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
