I’m fully convinced that Frakes directing is the only thing that prevented First Contact and Insurrection from being the dumpster fire that Nemesis was.

Once you go Frakes, you really should not go back.

And that, “Rrrriker!” line getting on the saddle was ad-libbed right in front of him.

Let’s give him some more feature films. I’d be more excited to see a new Frakes Sar Trek movie then Abrams.

There’s like 80 years between Enterprise and Disco, and another 80 between TOS and TNG. Since they (probably) won’t fill up all of this with more and more series, there’s plenty of scope to mine them for content, especially with one-off films.

I’d like an effort that far forwards fifty or sixty generations. You could keep all the foundational storylines and back story, but there would be a tapestry of technological advancement potential and new universes to explore.

Excuse me is this is already happening somewhere, I did original, tng, ds9 and Voyager and pretty much trapped out

He’s directed two already, well, two Trek movies. First Contact and Insurrection.

He’s had episodes as director in every live action Trek property except Enterprise. He even directed two episodes of The Orville.

He directed The City on the Edge of Forever he just couldn’t take credit to preserve the timeline.

EDIT: And if you look carefully the Guardian of Forever construct is obviously Jeffrey Combs, though his voice was dubbed over.

Not all the voice actors look like their characters. Tendi and Rutherford have this problem I believe.

Buuut, longer form lower decks could work quite well I think. Those characters work in a more serious setting, and their ability to insert levity into those settings works really well. An animated lower decks movie could rock!
