Garfield Reeves - Stevens Garfield Reeves - Stevens ( born ) , together with his wife Judith Reeves - Stevens , is one of " Star Trek " s best - selling original book writers . Together , the Reeves - Stevens couple wrote or co - wrote five episodes of s fourth season . Being fans , the couple had already written several fully licensed reference book s on the subject of " Star Trek " previously , prior to becoming officially involved with the live - action franchise . He , along with his wife , officially joined the production staff of an actual " Star Trek " production , " Enterprise " s fourth season , at the insistence of producers Manny Coto and Michael Sussman , who desperately needed writers imbued with a deep sense of original " Star Trek " lore in order to repair the perceived shortcomings original producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga had left . By the time the series concluded its third season , it arguably had become the most controversial of the television series , subject to inspired and vehement criticism of fans – and , as it turned out after - the - fact , by production staffers as well – for its perceived violations in established continuity . With both producers held responsible for the quick loss of viewer - ship , Paramount and UPN indicated its cancellation and the apparent end of Berman ' s tenure as the overseer of " Star Trek " productions with the approach of the end of the third season . Though remaining credited , Berman and Braga were indeed essentially relegated to the role of figurehead by the franchise at the end of the third season , and their places were " de facto " filled for the last season by Coto and Sussman , under whose tenure much of the perceived continuity violations was redressed , aided by writers such as Judith and her husband , who , like them , had an equally thorough understanding of " Star Trek " lore . While the writer ' s couple contributed to a season that , as a whole , was generally well received , it did not save the series , as its cancellation had already been decided upon . In appreciation , aside from the fact that it had gained him a shared official credit as " Co - Producer " for the episodes – , he also was featured alongside his wife in the last episode as " Commander Brad Yacobian " ( named after fellow " Enterprise " producer Brad Yacobian ) . In 2001 he was , also with his wife , interviewed for the special feature " Phase II : the Lost Enterprise " on the DVD . In Reeves - Stevens was interviewed for the special feature " " Star Trek " : The Three Picture Saga " on the DVD box release of " " alongside his wife , Harve Bennett , Peter Krikes , Steve Meerson , Nicholas Meyer , and Ralph Winter . In 2007 , Garfield and his wife co - created a planned zombie series entitled " Alive " , which would ' ve starred John Billingsley and Gary Graham . They were to serve as showrunners of the series , which was set to debut in mid - to - late 2008 . The series was never made . A series , conceived by the couple , that " did " make it onto the small screen was the 2012 spin - off series of the British sci - fi show " Primeval " , " Primeval : New World " , which , however , was canceled after one season .
