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.
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.
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
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.
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…
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.
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.
I forgot he even directed that one. I was more thinking of Frame of Mind.
“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.
BOOYA
One Take Frakes returns, you love to see it
It’s real.
Let’s keep moving people! Need my SNW before the end of next year!
It’s cornflakes frakes at the helm
