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.
For what is worth, they are doing a much better job of it. It’s never gonna be my favorite trek, but it’s not bad.
My wife, who is a Trek fan for the past 15 years or so, likes it. She didn’t care for Picard or Discovery.
