Jonathan Frakes Returning To Direct For ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3
3 years ago by USSBurritoTruck to c/startrek
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.
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.
I'm glad I'm here, you learn something new every day! The next thing you'll be telling me is that he also gave Rodenberry the idea for the series, therefore guaranteeing himself a role for 7 years.
That'll be exciting! We'll all have to put our heads together and give him a list of episodes to adjust a bit, and maybe we'll have five or six seasons of TOS.
Wow I had no idea! Riker is really awesome.
Riker is awesome. Dunno why people keep talking about this Frakes guy.
At least he’s not responsible for nemesis
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
That’s what I’m thinking. 👍
And that, "Rrrriker!" line getting on the saddle was ad-libbed right in front of him.
I’d love a Lower Decks live action movie!
Not all the voice actors look like their characters. Tendi and Rutherford have this problem I believe.
Buuut, longer form lower decks could work quite well I think. Those characters work in a more serious setting, and their ability to insert levity into those settings works really well. An animated lower decks movie could rock!
Yeah, Tendi irl is not green at all.
I think you mean ghost fuck episode.
If you gave me the option of watching “First Contact” or “Sub Rosa”, I would choose planet Scotland ten times out of ten.
Personally I think “Sub Rosa” is a banger with a story that would not be at all out of place in TOS.
... or more than one.
“Frame of Mind” was directed by James Conway.
Great episode, though.
You honestly just know when it's a Frakes directed episode. Things just feel quality.
