    I just watched this series in the last year and I remember scoffing when I heard that, lol I had no idea what was coming.

    Also being kinda new to Star Trek, is there a joke about Frakes? My wife and I always joke that when an episode makes no fucking sense, it was directed by JFrakes, and I wonder if its something like a joke among trek fans

      What a weird take. He directed first contact. The drum head. The search, and past tense. All great.

        Its so crazy, fuck me for having opinions!

        I haven’t seen TNG or First Contact since it was on the air. I remember FC being good, and the Frakes episodes of ds9 are good. We were watching Disco, and in that case, his episodes are just bizarre.

          Sorry I’m not interested in having sex with you

          Based on your name, I assume you have a thing for killing your sexual partners with isotoners on. I am not in favor.

            Yeah right, the gloves fit about as well as cohesive plot points in a JFrakes episode of Disco

      Usually the more complex and deep episodes are Frakes. When you see his name as director, you know you’re in for a great ride. It’s probably partly because he’s ST royalty so he can push the envelope and doesn’t need to play it safe for his career.

        His episodes make no sense at all in Disco, which is saying something for a show that makes no sense at all, but his ds9 EPs are pretty good.

      He tends to pick up more oddball or funny episodes. In this case, he actually didn’t direct that episode. Felt fitting and needed something to tie things up on a more positive slant.
