Plus: Braga on <i>Star Trek XI<\/i>.<!--more-->Looking back, <i>Star Trek: Enterprise&#8217;s<\/i> <font color=\"yellow\">Brannon Braga<\/font> realizes that the ending of the four-year series was less than satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ifmagazine.com\/\">iFMagazine<\/a>, <i>Star Trek: Enterprise&#8217;s<\/i> ending did not meet expectations for Braga. &#8220;I think that final, final episode, I may be understating it when I&#8217;m saying it didn&#8217;t turn out as well as I hoped,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think the intentions behind it sent a valentine to all the &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; shows and a very genuine heartfelt one, because we knew &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; would be off television for a long, long time, but it was kind of a lackluster story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Braga had to do the ending over again, he wouldn&#8217;t know exactly what to do. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know [what I would have done,] because at the time I thought it was very cool, it was only when it came out, I realized, &#8216;this isn&#8217;t quite working.&#8217; That happens. I don&#8217;t know what I would have done honestly. I think I might have just ended &#8216;Enterprise.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>And what if <i>Enterprise<\/i> had returned for another season? &#8220;I had moved on to another series [&#8216;Threshold,&#8217;] so I would have left &#8216;Enterprise.&#8217; I love &#8216;Star Trek.&#8217; It&#8217;s the kind of show that&#8217;s such an open field conceptually, that I could have done it forever. At the same time, after fifteen years, I had to move on and let other people do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Braga confesses to being emotionally attached to <i>Star Trek<\/i> and part of him is sad to see someone else in charge. &#8220;My analogy with &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; is I divorced my wife, I love her dearly, she&#8217;s with a great guy, and I&#8217;m so happy for her,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;At the same time, in the back of mind, someone else is with my wife. That&#8217;s how I feel. I can&#8217;t help but feel emotionally attached to &#8216;Star Trek.&#8217; But predominantly my feeling is it&#8217;s in great hands with J.J. Abrams and I can&#8217;t wait to see the movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To read more, including Braga&#8217;s current projects, head to the article located <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ifmagazine.com\/feature.asp?article=3248\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former &#8216;Enterprise&#8217; producer on controversial &#8216;Enterprise&#8217; ending.
