Bermaga is a derogatory term used in the Star Trek fandom to refer collectively to former Trek showrunners Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. The two have widely been blamed for ruining the franchise.

Coined by "Keckler" at Television Without Pity[383], the term quickly spread throughout fandom. It even became used by people directly involved in Star Trek, most notably Jolene Blalock. [384]

Berman and Braga both became involved in Star Trek during Star Trek: The Next Generation, but the damaging influence of Bermaga is generally seen to have been at it's greatest during the runs ofStar Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise, as well as the decisions put into the Star Trek movies "Generations" "Insurrection" and "Nemesis"

Since the demise of Star Trek: Enterprise, the term has been used as short-hand when discussing the quality of a science fiction show. For instance, former Star Trek writer Ron Moore, now show runner of the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica, has been referred to as the anti-Bermaga.
