he directed the lower decks crossover episode?? give him a whole movie
He’s directed two already, well, two Trek movies. First Contact and Insurrection.
He’s had episodes as director in every live action Trek property except Enterprise. He even directed two episodes of The Orville.
Wow I had no idea! Riker is really awesome.
Nothing on TOS either.
He directed The City on the Edge of Forever he just couldn’t take credit to preserve the timeline.
EDIT: And if you look carefully the Guardian of Forever construct is obviously Jeffrey Combs, though his voice was dubbed over.
That’s what I’m thinking. 👍
And that, “Rrrriker!” line getting on the saddle was ad-libbed right in front of him.
Let’s give him some more feature films. I’d be more excited to see a new Frakes Sar Trek movie then Abrams.
There’s like 80 years between Enterprise and Disco, and another 80 between TOS and TNG. Since they (probably) won’t fill up all of this with more and more series, there’s plenty of scope to mine them for content, especially with one-off films.
I’d like an effort that far forwards fifty or sixty generations. You could keep all the foundational storylines and back story, but there would be a tapestry of technological advancement potential and new universes to explore.
Excuse me is this is already happening somewhere, I did original, tng, ds9 and Voyager and pretty much trapped out
So, what I’m hearing is, we’re in for some really awesome / utterly mindfuck episodes.
I think you mean ghost fuck episode.
Look, the man also directed First Contact (the movie, not the episode) and Those Old Scientists, which are generally well received. I think we can begrudge him one ghost-fuckin’ episode.
I forgot he even directed that one. I was more thinking of Frame of Mind.
You honestly just know when it’s a Frakes directed episode. Things just feel quality.
