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.
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.
Just wait until time travels is invented. Soon he already will have done
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.
Oh boy do I have news for you
At least he’s not responsible for nemesis
Once you go Frakes, you really should not go back.
I'm fully convinced that Frakes directing is the only thing that prevented First Contact and Insurrection from being the dumpster fire that Nemesis was.
That’s what I’m thinking. 👍
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
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.
She was at Comic-Con at one point, and I thought she looked like he would be able to pass off as her character with little effort.
I was a bit sad they didn't get her to at least play Tendi's grandmother in the crossover episode, I thought that would have been a nice little nod.
And yes, that is the worst complaint I have about that episode, that's how good it was...
