Jonathan Frakes on Directing Next Generation, Lower Decks

This interview goes assorted places, but it has a small interesting bit about next year's Discovery finale.

“I directed the first half of the finale of Season 5, which turned out to be the real finale... And then [‘Discovery’ executive producer and director] Olatunde Osunsanmi had to go back up and do two or three days of new stuff to actually make the finale the finale." https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jonathan-frakes-star-trek-director-strange-new-worlds-lower-decks-crossover-1235680140/

I really hope they were able to come up with something satisfying with those reshoots. The series deserves a good sendoff.

I hope that the series finale is satisfying, too. Jonathan Frakes and Olatunde Osunsanmi as directors of it is a good sign. Jonathan Frakes + Star Trek = awesome. I enjoy a lot of Olatunde Osunsanmi's Star Trek work as a director, including one of my favored DSC episodes, "What's Past Is Prologue" (s1e13). That episode has everything. Action, drama, pathos. I love Saru's delivery of, "That is all I needed to see. Fire!" Fabulous spark igniting the action of that scene. I enjoy DSC.

This series deserves to be sent off.
