So I'm reading an interview with Bryan Fuller about Wonderfalls etc. He apparently started as a writer with Trek. And this caught my eye... like one of those hooks on a screen door....

RT: What do you think about the decline of the franchise and what about its place right now?
BF: I think the status right now is very encouraging, and I'm referring to the J.J. Abrams-helmed reinvention of the franchise, which it's desperate for.

J.J Abrams is taking on Trek? Ooh! That could be worth watching!
They should really try and grab a couple of BSG writers. The guys behind that show used to write for DS9, didn't they?

Oh, I'm a Trek fan. Old school. Do not like what Rick Berman did to the franchise. Not at all at all. Roddenberry's corpse spins at warp speed.

I though this was old news, so I hadn't posted anything.
Right now, Abrams' project is rumoured to be a retelling of the original, which has gained widespread flack for requiring a recasting of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.
It's also rumoured to be a Starfleet Academy story, featuring the classics as teenagers (ignoring the fact that Spock doesn't age like a human), and probably falling into the "Smallville" trap (hey, look, it's Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Chekhov, Nurse Chapel, Janice Rand, and a ship that needs a name --how 'bout we call it Enterprise!!! Wow, what a random and totally-not-contrived coincidence!!!11!one1!!)
Don't get me wrong, I like Abrams' style. I just want my Trek to go forward. What about the Cardassian reconstruction, the Romulan civil war, the new Klingon Chancellor, Bajor's first year in the Federation. . .

ah, see this was the first I'd heard of it. and both of those ideas sound really bad. Didn't they learn about going backwards with Enterprise?

I think the model for this new movie is more of a "Batman Begins/Casino Royale" reboot then an "Enterprise" type prequel.

oh, the article gave no indication it was a movie, I thought it wasa new series? oh well.

Haven't heard any of this before. Sounds awful.
What eps did this guy write? 'cause if he's part of Berman's crowd he needs to go away.

Bryan Fuller apparently wrote some for DS9, but is better known perhaps for Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls and the current hit Heroes. But that isn't the point. Bryan isn't involved in the writing of the new Trek, which appears to me as mentioned above, a movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/, he was only asked his opinion on it's direction. JJ Abrhams is apparently at the helm here. Known for Alias, Lost, and MI:III?
but to answer the question he wrote 2 eps of DS9:
Empok Nor(97) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708532/
The Darkness and the Light(97) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708620/
and was executive story editor and co-producer for 26 eps of Voyager.
