Shuttlepod Episode 015: "Our Man Brannon" with Brannon Braga Part 1

I hope they get Scott to come on the show and do 2 hours. But I really hope they can get Jolene. I thought she was great. Connor said she didn't like the Trip/T'Pol romance and didn't like a lot of T'Pol's character development. I know she is married with kids and that takes a lot of time to do right, but I am curious if her experience on " Enterprise " is the main reason she retired from acting? I also would to know what Linda Park is up too. I would really like Paramount + to bring Enterprise back, but only with original cast!

I love this podcast and both Connor and Dominic, but if I had any criticism at all, it's that Dom needs to learn to give the guests time answer the questions he's asking. Connor and Dom keep asking good questions, but then just as the guest is getting going on an interesting answer--and you know they have a lot more to say--Dom starts bantering and he totally sidetracks the guest onto a different subject. Ask the right questions and let the guests go. Don't keep interrupting them. (Said with love, BTW! It's just that there's a skill to interviewing well and it takes practice. Charile Rose was one of the best every--ask the right questions that get your guests to open up, and then stay out of the way other than to keep the conversation on track.)

I love it when Dom says " God bless ya mate "

37:48 Bill Mumy did an interview where he talks about being a guest on DS9 and being astonished by doing a take where he used a contraction instead of saying "cannot" or whatever, and being told that any changes to the script needed approval.

Thank you so much Dominic and Conner for taking the time to interview Brannon Braga. Out of all the writers in the Star Trek franchise, he has remained my favorite. I felt since Gene Roddenberry, Braga understood the franchise from stem to stern. His episodes in Voyager and Enterprise were excellent, especially with character building. I do agree that a Temporal Cold War show would have been excellent and captivating for the audience. We definitely need ideas like that to bring audiences together and not divide them like most shows do nowadays. I feel modern TV shows will never live up to the standard and class that Braga and his team had with Star Trek. They were classic, timeless and very philosophical. Once the episode was over, you would want to talk to someone about it and the moral lessons that you got out of the episode. Keep up the great work, gentleman! You have a new viewer with me! Looking forward to part 2 🖖🏻

Watched and will watch every episode but still waiting for Scott, Jolene and Linda. You can do it.

Great to see Brannon. I do love hearing the writer’s perspective. Dom, I love ya, but you keep talking over your guests! I wanted to hear the rest of the Scott Bakula casting! Gonna reach out and smack you next time honey, and you’ll like it too.

I absolutely love this show! Enterprise was given the short stick of the entire franchise. It was the first spinoff that I actually could connect to all of the characters since the original. Thank you for this show!

I could listen to Rick and Brannon talk for hours about their experiences with the show. Fantastic!

I love getting to see Shuttlepod every Sunday but I want to give you guys a little feedback. Dom, I loved the two shows that were about you but you should try to remember that when you're a host of a radio show that it is about the guest and what they are saying. It's great to hear from you but your mic is very hot and you are talking too much. This is a tough lesson to learn, I know, because I had to learn it back when podcasting started. Great show, great concept, great guests, great stories - but let's hear from the guest more. I hope you can take this as intended. Keep 'em coming guys.

Watching this on Memorial Day, so Im thinking of all the fallen. Just thinking about my mates who didnt make it home. Thanks for helping me make it through the day.

It was so interesting getting a look into Brannon Braga's start with the Star Trek franchise and background into the time constraints for the writers and actors from episode to episode. Big thanks to all of you in @Shuttlepod Show for putting these on! ❤💛💙🤓🖖🏾

It was really interesting to hear Brannon's comments on the Temporal Cold War aspect, especially when he mentions Season One's "Cold Front" its one of my favourite episodes of the series. Thank you to Brannon, Connor, Dominic, Erica and the ShuttlephodShow team for this interview, it's fantastic hearing these recollections from the people behind the scenes. Please can you get the absolute Star Trek music legend that is Jay Chattaway on? Jay contributed some of the greatest cues to Star Trek. Thank you again. I can't wait for part 2. Happy Sunday everyone! LLAP

Had no idea this was out there.... they keep showing up on my you tube thread. I Thank you firstly....for all your contributions to the trek universe.

I never gave the Orville a chance because I thought it was just some silly Seth McFarland parody of Star Trek, then after watching this interview and finding out people from Star Trek were involved in making the Orville, I went and bended the entire thing and now I'm watching season 3 with just complete Joy. It's everything I ever hoped for in a new Star Trek series just without the old names, season 3 is just f**** incredible I really hope it gets picked up another season and many more to come, I can't recommend it enough for any Sci-Fi TV fans, especially old school Star Trek fans.

After Berman, it is nice to hear Brannon Braga. Great show!!!!

The legends are turning up for the Shuttlepod. Awesome!

"Reunion" is my EARLIEST Trek memory. I saw it as a kid. Wow! Pivotal and most classic; that is one of my favorites as a result.

Why aren't there more subscribers and views? Where else can you see/hear recent, intimate, two-part interviews with Brannon Braga and Rick Berman in the course of a month? I guess I'm preaching to the choir here... Spread the word! 🖖

I'm so glad to see this is gonna be a 2 part show. Can't wait to hear more from him. I think Brannon Braga did a great job with ENT.
