Behind the Scenes With JONATHAN FRAKES: Issues With STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION
Star Trek: The Next Generation is one of the most beloved and influential series in the space adventure genre. The series first premiered in 1987, and the series ran for seven successful seasons before finally ending in 1994. After giving the original saga a new lease of life, the characters went on to star in several films as well.
But it was really the series that truly honored Gene Roddenberry's original vision of space exploration. And one episode in particular stands out from the rest, to embrace the science behind the series and concepts like the time loop, leaving viewers confused and confused.
Star Trek: The Next Generation expanded the Star Trek universe, delving deeper and deeper into the intricate world that so often reflected real-life dilemmas. While characters like Patrick Stewart's Jean-Luc Picard obviously stood out from the rest, actors like Jonathan Frakes, who played First Commander William Riker, revolutionized the series by contributing significantly behind the camera.
