Brannon Braga will be creating new sci-fi shows for Fox

The news that Star Trek veteran Brannon Braga has cut a deal with Fox to create new shows has some fans buzzing.

Braga has his supporters in Trekdom,but a lot of fans feel that the show lost its direction under his watch so they are predictable in their disdain for the announcement.

There are no details about whether the deal is to create science fiction shows, but if you read between the lines it seems that is the direction they are headed.

Another TV series which is in development is an adaptation of Gordon Dickson's Dorsai books. There are no specifics on the production company's website about where the show would actually air, but it looks like they're pitching it to SyFy.

An even better basis for a TV show would be one derived from Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic books. Director Matthew Vaughn has said he'd like to create such a show for HBO, but I think the quote from him is more wishful thinking than anything.
