Episode #85 Executive Producer Brannon Braga on the writing of Season Three of The Orville.

On this special episode Of Postcards, I am stoked to welcome Writer, Producer, and director Brannon Braga. His first job in Hollywood was writing for Star Trek the Next Generation before being the showrunner of Voyager and Enterprise. He also wrote two films in the Star Trek franchise. In all, he had his name on more than 150 hours of Star Trek. A three-time Emmy nominee Braga is currently working on The Orville and Cosmos. In episode 23 we chatted about his underrated adaptation of Clive Barker’s classic anthology series Books of Blood and Clive Barker in general. Brannon is first and foremost a writer and I enjoy getting under the hood of his projects and talk craft and process. In this episode Brannon and I talk about Orville season three, we drill down on his episodes but there is tons of valuable insight into the season and the show in general. We talk about writers patience, The transgender storylines, writing for Dolly Parton, Sacrifice for ideals, not saving your life, Bortus, and Klyden reunion, and writing huge battles. Also at the very end, Brannon comments on the Filmationwriters' style Voyager video of his episode Threshold, and the ongoing debate about Tuvix. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/postcards-from-a-dying-world/id1524359471?i=1000497490184
