At least he’s not responsible for nemesis

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.

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, tbh, ds9 and Voyager and pretty much trapped out

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!

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.

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.
