he directed the lower decks crossover episode?? give him a whole movie
- chaogomu ( @chaogomu@kbin.social ) 25•11 months ago
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
- stargazingpenguin ( @stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip ) English1•11 months ago
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.
- digger ( @digger@lemmy.ca ) English10•11 months ago
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.

And that, “Rrrriker!” line getting on the saddle was ad-libbed right in front of him.

That’s what I’m thinking. 👍

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!

One Take Frakes returns, you love to see it
- Electricorchestra ( @Electricorchestra@lemmy.ml ) English9•11 months ago
You honestly just know when it’s a Frakes directed episode. Things just feel quality.
- Xariphon ( @Xariphon@kbin.social ) 7•11 months ago
So, what I’m hearing is, we’re in for some really awesome / utterly mindfuck episodes.
I think you mean ghost fuck episode.
- eva_sieve ( @eva_sieve@startrek.website ) English3•11 months ago
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.
- ReplicatedSoda ( @ReplicatedSoda@startrek.website ) English2•11 months ago
… or more than one.
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.
- Xariphon ( @Xariphon@kbin.social ) 1•11 months ago
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.
