Brannon Braga Quotations

Each episode provides a puzzle piece to a larger mystery.

We wanted the science fiction to be accessible, that it not be like 'Star Trek,' that it not be technical, and everything has to be explained. We wanted it to be much scarier in the way it's presented.

You've got your 'X-Files' and now 'Lost,' which is arguably science fiction, though one could say it's something else.

Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all Number One, we're only mortal.

We've endeavored to depict this alien visitation in a different way. It's not going to be the traditional 'ship lands, people come out' kind of stuff. We're trying to do it in ways that would be very strange. A ship hasn't necessarily landed here. There's some other way they've done it. What they're doing to us is very unusual and kind of not quite any way that scientists predicted.

I think it's kinda cool. I think the word would be, um, tasteless!
