Starfleet Academy Director Jonathan Frakes Says Fan Hate Is ‘Dimensionally More Painful’ Today Than in the Next Generation Years - IGN
www.ign.com
The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’s first season was a big one for many reasons, including that it was directed by Captain William Riker himself, Jonathan Frakes. Ahead of next week’s finale, we were able to talk to Frakes about the big reunion between Caleb (Sandro Rosta) and his mom Anisha (Tatiana Maslany), how he directs such a storied franchise, how he deals with fan community hate, and more.

    I think Strange New Worlds found its feet and has a good thing going. I hope Starfleet Academy will as well.

    SNW didn’t find its footing, it was good from the start IMO. It’s touchy-feely but in a less banal way.

    I’m being patient, but it’s harder to justify bad episodes when a season’s just 10 of them, than when we had 20+.
