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/

    Good interview with more than the usual proportion of new content and perspective.

    And Frakes being Frakes, we actually get some insight into how the unexpected Discovery series finale was managed.
