The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, juts out in the UK and US, features an exclusive interview with Star Trek actor/director Jonathan Frakes. Here are few excerpts, cortesy of Sci Fi Pulse.
"That was very odd," the actor said in relation to Enterprise. "It was ill fated, I think. Scott [Bakula] was such a mensch about it. I know we would have been upset if it had happened on our show. I think we would have felt infantilised and belittled, but Scott handled it with such grace. I think it's because he had had so much success previously, and also it meant he wasn't in a lot of scenes."
Frakes added that although he was happy to return as Riker, he never did understand the logic of doing a flashback episode which linked a TNG episode from its final season to the finale of Enterprise.
"I thought it was frankly giving The Next Generation too much power," he says. "It hadn't been set up in Enterprise that there was any interest in Next Gen."
"They wanted it to be a valentine to the fans - that's how Rick [Berman] described it to me on the phone. They wanted me and Marina [Sirtis] to come back, and I said I'd love to. When I got there... it was what it was. It was great to be with Marina again, and for us, selfishly, it was great, because we were back on the lot, back in uniform. We still looked good and we felt good, so that made sense. But it was hard to follow - the logic police didn't take a good look at it."
When it came to talking about the two Star Trek movies which he was able to direct Frakes still regards Star Trek: First Contact as being his best work as a director on Star Trek. However he still feels that Insurrection was a little uneven.
"God bless Michael Piller's soul, but in Insurrection, the whole idea of the Ba'ku, this perfect race, looking Aryan? That was a fiasco. The other side of Insurrection, the arc with F. Murray Abraham, was great. It worked: it represented villainy, greed and vanity. It had all kinds of wonderful stuff. The Ba'ku was a colour that just wasn't powerful enough for a movie."
