This is the Next Generation panel (Part 2) at the 2016 Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, NV. It includes Michael Dorn (Worf), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi) and Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker). This video was recorded on August 6, 2016. Please remember, this is a LIVE event. That means that there are going to be people moving around, talking, kids crying, and a lot more interruptions. If you don't like it, you always have the option to pay Creation for their official video, otherwise, here is the free version.
This week, we bring you the extended cut of Mr. Green's interview with Jonathan Frakes. Jonathan was delight to chat with as he reminisced about his time on Star Trek: TNG and gave his insight in the differences of directing a sci-fi show now compared to the way it was done the past.

Shields up… red alert! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) This week, we’re beyond thrilled to have Jonathan Frakes swing by the show. Most of you undoubtedly know him as the indomitable Number One: Commander William T. Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation. In addition to starring as Riker on seven seasons of the show and in four films (and in many other non-Star Trek roles), Frakes has also made an impressive name for himself as a director. He began his directing career on The Next Generation, turning in some of the best episodes of the second half of that show–including “The Offspring,” “The Quality of Life,” and “Cause and Effect” (one of my personal favorite episodes). He directed episodes of Deep Space Nine and Voyager before working on what are widely regarded as the two best Next Ge...
