RIP Michael Piller - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Michael Piller, producer of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", co-creator of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and "Star Trek: Voyager", as well as the TV adaptation of Stephen King's "The Dead Zone", died today after a battle with cancer.

That's too bad. He was a great writer, and a big fan of giving new writers a chance to "break into the biz". Piller is a god amongst TNG fans for penning the classic "The Best of Both Worlds" two-parter.

Thats just great! Now theres only 2 good minds able to do decent Trek tv. No I ain't talk Braga and Berman.

Piller will be very sorely missed.
