Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Picard) joins us this week to take us where no guest has gone before… sharing his experience over three decades in the Star Trek franchise and teasing a special reunion during this new season of Picard.
Jonathan talks about his experience playing Riker, working with the one and only Patrick Stewart, and the cast’s reaction to learning about Wil Wheaton’s situation off set.
We also talk about handling loss, his credit with Phish, and some hilarious stories from his late great father.

    Frakes is amazing! I had my TARDIS at a local con here in Knoxville years ago and he walked up on a Sunday when it was quiet and asked if he could get his picture in it. LOL I posted that photo and about blew up the internet! Last Summer my wife and I were flying home from Scotland, we were in JFK airport trying to get a plane home to TN and Frakes walked by, saw me staring at him and he walked over with a smile and we fist bumped. I reminded him of the TARDIS story and he pretended to remember me. What a classy guy!

It’s any wonder the TNG cast have stayed friends for so long… they really did manage to find some of the greatest people in the industry and slap em together for that show.

    I remember having a bedtime after MacGyver ended at 9pm on Mondays. After which my mother would put me to bed and go to bed herself. A few minutes later my father, unbeknownst to my mother, would open my bedroom door to let me know the coast was clear. For the entire seven seasons my father and I would watch The Next Generation, past my bedtime, where I fell in love for an optimistic view of the future. Years later, I told this story at a family reunion and my mother turned and slapped my father in the arm saying, "that's why he was so hard to wake up on Tuesday mornings!" Thank you Jonathan et al for the fond memories. And quite the calibration for a glass half full view of reality. That we, as humans, indeed play the most important role of what our future holds. I love you all so much. Cheers.

    I'm only half way through this episode, but I'd just like to say that First Contact was huge for me, what a movie. I hope he knows how much that movie still means to some of us. TNG was only on the BBC back then, English is not my native language, switched on the subtitles and that's basically how I learned English.

    a friend recently told me "yeah, I was watching Picard first season the other week and that Jonathan/Riker parts in there: that is how you will be when you're old" xD obviously thats a pretty cool compliment, but seeing the guy here and him almost being that guy in real person - cool, chill, honest, funny, driven but humble and just lovely - makes this an even better goal for the future.

    I was a huge Star Trek fan in my teens. When I was 13 or 14, I worked for my father’s business to save money to attend a Star Trek convention in my city. Frakes was the celebrity guest. I don’t recall whether he was not doing signings or if the line was too huge, but I didn’t get a chance to meet him...in the venue. I happened to be walking outside just as he was exiting the hotel, about to get into the limo. I found the courage to talk with him, just briefly, and he could not have been more gracious. Always was, and will be, a Riker fan.

    I've been a Star Trek fan for 50 years. Riker is not my most favorite character, although I do really like him. But Jon Frakes is - hands down - my favorite cast member. He just seems like a good guy, a great friend, and an awesome leader. And of course a terrific storyteller. He figured out early on how to interact with the fans and give them a great time. Some might see it as merely performative but Frakes sees it as respectful and appreciative. And he's just keeping it real - the fans paid for his kids' medical bills and college.

I was lucky enough to arrive later in the day so there were no lines to get an autograph. I had a good 10 minute conversation with both him and Mr. Dorn. Not gonna lie, felt like pretty special moments for me. Great person to have a conversation with, well spoken and just great. Great episode!

    I'm only partially familiar with the Star Trek world, but I remember watching Jonathan in The Next Generation and then more recently in Picard, but I had no idea he directed too, and just how much he has directed, he has worked on everything. I thought this was a really lovely episode, I loved hearing him talk about his dad and his brother so sweetly and openly. I think the thing that came across the most for me about Jonathan was his warmth, I love the way he relaxes and takes his shoes off, so comfortable with himself and others, how he is curious and asks questions, and he seems to love to share the fondness and love he has for others, like the way he gently insisted on complimenting Michael, and sharing with him the nice things others had said. This was just a really lovely episode to listen to, and it has made me want to go and watch more Star Trek ❤ (Also, I'm not convinced he is 70 😄). Thank you Jonathan, and thank you Michael and Ryan
