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 mean just the whole Curzon, Kor, and Jadzia scene. Actually all of DS9 would send them into a panic.

    Heck, most people misinterpret Roddenberry’s original intent, anyway. It always makes me laugh when people talk about Star Trek becoming woke.

      Seriously. Star Trek is “woke” first and science fiction second. Gene wanted to make an integrated show, he didn’t particularly care if it was science fiction or not.
