Sad news.

Manny Coto is a name that I will always remember from back in the day, he did great things turning the show around. Thank you for everything that you contributed to Enterprise, letting it become Star Trek again.

He saved ENT. Would've been great to see him make new Trek. RIP

A brilliant show runner, and I believe he salvaged the holding pattern B&B had put ENT into, and made it truly good. Sadly, he'd only get one season to really make it work, but the show was all the better for it.

May he rest in peace.

I was thinking a few months back that it would be great if Manny returned to Star Trek again one day given the popularity of Picard season 3. It's a heavy loss.

I was shocked to hear about this. I loved his run on Star Trek: Enterprise. Season 4 was one of the best seasons in all of Star Trek. He also directed and wrote one of my favorite slasher movies, Dr. Giggles. My condolences to his family, friends and fans. RIP.

R.I.P. Manny Coto. The only showrunner to figure out how to make Star Trek: Enterprise actually live up to its own potential.

 

[Dar70]

Oh no. I am very sorry to hear this. Damn ..

 

[Grizzlor]

How awful to hear this. Manny was a great writer, and fan of many great series. His work on Enterprise, Dexter, you name it, was really cool. He definitely "saved" Enterprise and made it watchable.

Just saw the news. I’m shocked. He was not just big for Enterprise but he had an impact with 24 as well. I still remember being here on these forums and most people were proclaiming Coto the savior of Enterprise.

May his memory be a blessing.
