The Resume

    (December 25, 1945- )
    Born in New York, New York
    Senior producer of 'The Big Blue Marble' (1977-82)
    Executive producer of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' (1988-94), 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' (1993-99), 'Star Trek: Voyager' (1995-2001) and 'Star Trek: Enterprise' (2001-05)
    Produced the Star Trek films 'Generations' (1994), 'First Contact' (1996), 'Insurrection' (1998) and 'Nemesis' (2002)

Why he might be annoying:

    He admits he never saw all the episodes of the original 'Star Trek'.
    He kept a bust of Gene Roddenberry that he would blindfold when writers proposed ideas that he felt were contrary to Roddenberry's vision.
    Screenwriter David Weddle said 'the moribund aesthetics of Rick Berman' had 'slowly strangled the franchise.'
    Garret Wang claims he was kept from directing episodes of 'Voyager' as a punishment for criticizing Berman.
    The series he wrote the most episodes for, 'Enterpise' was also the shortest lived one. (Coincidence?)
    Screenwriter Andy Mangels said, 'He did his best to ruin the franchise on his way out.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won an Emmy for Outstanding Children's Programming for 'The Big Blue Marble.'
    He was personally chosen by Roddenberry to run 'Star Trek' after he retired.
    He said, 'Contrary to the people on the Internet who seem to think I never cared very much about the Star Trek franchise, I did and I do.'
