Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jonathan Frakes described his "surprised" reaction to Star Trek: Discovery basing season 5's story on an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation he directed. Frakes has directed 8 episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, including season 5 penultimate episode, "Lagrange Point".
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Jonathan Frakes shared why he was "really surprised" that Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is a sequel to his Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6 episode, "The Chase". Frakes also described how directing the current Star Trek series is different from directing Star Trek during Rick Berman's era in the 1990s.
I was really surprised because I don't remember "The Chase" being that significant in the oeuvre of Next Gen. And then when Michelle explained how that was going to be the kickoff and the premise of the show... You know, I got "The Chase" only by the luck of the draw. That's how the cards played.
