Coto?

Doesn't say much about the cast's faith in the network, does it?

Hopefully, Braga wasn't the one who slipped those Nazis into the end of "Zero Hour". Or, if he is, hopefully he's already told them how to resolve it. Because to throw something out there like that and then leave it to someone else to think up an ending... That wouldn't be very nice.

I had the smae thought: mabye it was a parting shot.
Still, there's plenty of backdoors out of the story: An alternate reality that NX-01 got zapped into to prevent their further interference in the Temporal Cold War- after the Sphere blew.
The Nazi Vampire could be some TCW agent sent to retrieve the Enterprise crew and preserve/restore the timeline (assuming no one sees him as he really looks, that is).
Archer's dreaming the whole Nazi Vampire thing after watching Salem's Lot on movie night.
You name it.

I thought the problem wasn't so much Braga's writing, it was the fact that he gained control of the storylines in general. . ? Voyager's storylines were crap anyway, but under his stewardship they either got worse, or stupider, or both. . . And then he got to actually think up a series of his own, and look where that got us. . .

If Braga was responsible for the pussification of the Borg, it's good he's leaving the writing of Enterprise to others.

I always kind of thought he wrote good stories, as long as someone kept him in check. I mean, look at his TNG episodes. The problem with VOY was that there was no-one telling him things like "no, the Borg don't suck that bad" or "Q is arrogantly meddlesome, not just obnoxious" or "'Threshold' is really really awful".
And I realize he didn't actually write all those episodes, but, if someone else had been in charge, they may never have been produced.

And I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but just in case...
He started to make his mark on Star Trek with season 3 of TNG, and was the Brannon Braga of his day. Except that he wrote stuff like "The Best of Both Worlds", and other goods stuff. He probably got the best dialogue anyone ever could out of the TNG crew. And his stories were usually pretty good.
He did do Insurrection though...

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I heard Piller did exactly that with "Best of Both Worlds", when he thought he wouldn't work on TNG the following season...
