- Season 2, episode 19 is here. Dominic, Connor, Erica, and Mark have an awesome conversation with living legend - Jonathan Frakes - Commander/Captain William Riker.
Thunderbirds. The Star Trek Enterprise Finale. Picard Season 3. Directing. Acting. PANCAN. Picard Season 1. Star Trek The Next Generation. Captain America. This one could have gone on all day and still be great. Wash is out of uniform today, but looking good. Erica gets some fan questions in, we play a round of Star Trek Trivia, and we subject Frakes to being "Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” Get ready to have a laugh.

I saw Jonathan Frakes at a convention one time. Very nice and entertaining; funny as all get out. During the Q&A, a little girl asked why Commander Riker walked so funny, and without skipping a beat, he answered "that's because Jonathan Frakes used to move furniture for a living."
Huge kudos to Jonathan for what he expressed how he felt about the last episode of Enterprise!
So true
Always kudos to Jonathan Frakes! 🥰
The poker scene. 📸 Stayed up for it and anticipated all week.
Not to get all mushy, but when my dad died in a fire in 1997 - my way of coping was renting the whole STTNG series on VHS.. and just disappear into it. Star Trek in any form has always been a wonderful escape for me. Thank you guys! All of you!
Same here, after divorce.
I ran a Gargoyles panel with Frakes and Sirtis in 2013 at dragon con . It was in the am in a small room in the bowels of the Hilton. There was like 10 people in the room because no one realized who the voice cast was. We hit the hall and filled the room and got the room wound up. They came in to a room going berserk. The first thing out of Frakes was " You realize what this panels for, right?"
I loved Gargoyles and the ST connection it had
I have a knack for recognizing voices. One of my favorite skills. As a kid I knew that show was all TNG
I remember that show.
My kids were watching Gargoyles one day and I recognized Marina’s voice. I used to watch it without them once I heard all the Trek voices ☺️
Got my Mum to watch Gargoyles when I was a kid because I told her it had several TNG actors as the characters.
THE GOOD: What an icon to have on the show in Jonathan Frakes, words simply cannot give you a big lot of gratitude in having this great person on, well done all and at my time of watching the show had 192k views 🙌🙌👍 THE BAD 😢: I have been in corporate life for many years and one thing I have learnt is to listen to people and let them finish what they are saying, Dom you really must stop cutting people off as it is becoming quite infuriating. Frakes is one person who is so interesting to listen but you spoilt some of the moments by your constant interference too the point Frakes kept on looking at Connor, and seriously mentioning Jimmy Saville. Anyway an absolutely BRILLIANT show. Cheers 🍷🍷Ed from South Australia
seconded! we love the show but please Dom let your guests speak, they're all so insightful and have interesting things to say
You've been in corporate life?
Opinion: disregarded, intelligence: questionable, morality: nonexistent
Completely agreed.
Can someone please speak with Dominic about letting the guests finish their sentences? You have great guests! We want to hear what they have to say.
I was looking for this comment!!!! He does interrupt alot. Let Jonathan speak.
The past couple of episodes I thought he was getting better about that to. Maybe he just gets excited and doesn't realize how often he's doing it.
@Abby Boyum perhaps. Lets hope he reads this or his team do so he can take it on board.
Maybe not mention Jimmy Saville again 😂 I love dark humour but fucking hell haha.
to be fair i think he often keeps the conversation flowing, rather than just the guest answering questions. And his sense of humour comes through which the guests seem to appreciate.
I can not wait for the day when you guys have Scott Bakula on your show. Please keep this up I watch this every week.
It's the best part of the show lol. I subscribe for him. When I watch him be himself, after seeing him on enterprise. Ya, he keeps the energy cool and high.
I second this!
i wanna see jeri ryan and kate mulgrew
I second the Scott Bakula motion... and would like to add Patrick Stewart to the list.
hoping to see jeri ryan and kate mulgrew@@WizardLivesMatter
14:32 Dominic says the line over Riker 😂 come on man 😂
Always love the stories from Jonathan Frakes. Dom, please give your guests a chance to speak more, uninterrupted.
Amen.
Yeah Dominick please be quiet and let the guest talk!
Perhaps they could try doing the podcast with headphones on. With headphones you get a real-time response what talking over each other sounds like for the audience.
God forbid he gets excited? C'mon. Dominic does a great job.
Dominic's style of speech is actually a form of politeness in some cultures.
It shows that you are listening intently enough to follow where the speaker is going with what they're saying.
I understand it can be off-putting to those not accustomed to it, but let's have some understanding, shall we?
RED ALERT! So grateful to all of TNG cast for coming back to do S3 of Picard, but my god, Frakes gave the performance of his life! It looked like he had the time of his life playing Riker again.
Yep!
I’m still watching and omg Dominic please please let the guest finish
If season three of Picard showed us anything is that. The fans really want to see older characters come back again. Time to get the crew of the NX01 back on screen again.
#TripIsNotDead
@@c1ph3rpunk I'd love for them to make it canon that Trip got recruited into Section 31 and had to fake his death.
Not only that, but we dont want them to be treated like crap.
Sounds good to me
@@allengilbert7463 hmm, that’d work, be a neat take. I heard someone say recently “writers are omnipotent, they can write in whatever they want”. Cut to a shot of Q writing his own story for the crew to follow and boom, Trip’s back and Q’s in ENT.
Weekly recommended viewing for everyone. Especially those that want to break into acting.
Thanks Scott!
I thought that too.
exactly this is the real education
Yes! I love the actor talk!
Inside the Actors Studio - Star Trek style
Enterprise got cancelled just as it started to get good. What a shame. Dominic and Connor were my 2 favourite actors! Great duo in the TV show.
100% facts. Enterprise was getting really good when they hastily canned it.
Enterprise deserves a movie.
@@CellPhonzRockEnterprises what really killed Enterprise was that UPN moved it to Fridays at like 8. UPN was a small network that no one got anyway, and that time slot was when everyone was out. This came after a decade of having multiple star trek’s on. We were spoiled. The show would have done great if they gave it a chance.
I watched Enterprise for the first time last year, having watched TNG/DS9/VOY while they were airing, and I greatly enjoyed all 4 seasons, and felt it definitely hit its stride by season 3. The only thing I didn't like were the time traveling Nazi plots, which just felt like political propaganda, so I started skipping those. But overall I like Enterprise 2nd best after TNG.
After 2 seasons I couldn't take it anymore. Had it not been for COVID, I would never have known any part of the series was worth watching. I've never liked the idea of prequels. Nevertheless, the one good thing can say about Enterprise was that it filled in a lot of continuity holes from the other series including the original vary nicely. Those shows were well written and enjoyable. The origin of the human type Klingons from the original series, for example.
Just finished watching Picard season 3. Amazing job all round! Waited a lifetime for it. Way to make a grown man cry... Brilliant ending! 😭
I was hestitant to watch becausevseason 1 andv2vwere terrible. I could not even finish season 2. Season 3 was Star Trek. This is what i was waiting for with Picard. Funny how they ignored so much garbage from seasons 1 and 2. BTW, i do like Strange New Workds, too. Hated Discovery ( stopped watching that after suffering thru as much as i could)
It's the dream of every person that their real thoughts and feelings should matter...
I'd never have guessed he struggled getting back into the character. Season 3 felt like he'd never stopped playing the character.
it felt ever better then in TNG, much more complete a performance and so much emotion. I loved every scene with riker... Also hilarious, especially the pacifist worf dynamic.
@@bigwoodfarmer he always has that sarcastic type of humor that I love because he manages to balance it so well that it doesn't seem egregious
@@bigwoodfarmer it definitely felt like all his years just made his Riker come across more fully formed. So wonderful to witness
Thank You for addressing the ending of Enterprise. This has really bothered me for years. To contain the finale within the nextgen holodeck was such a disservice to the series, the actors, and the fans.
I love all you guys, and I'm so glad to have found this channel.
10:34 - Someone should really tell Connor that his character lived on in novels, after faking his death, and being a member of Section 31.
12:00 - For All Mankind is just beyond amazing.
Would be funnier if he'd be around as a ghost. A wraith, if you will.
personally i'd like them to do a set of TV movies and just retcon the last episode
Well things in novels and even comic books is hard to call canon because it doesn't have the quality of an ANNOUNCEMENT that a mainstream platform has. If they brought back Optimus Prime in a comic or a novel, nobody really would know or even care, but because he was brought back on National Television it's definitely official and directly canon. The whole concept of Trip btw on Section 31 is pretty interesting because it shows how old that dept. is.
While waiting for the Riker maneuver, I'm really happy with this channel increasing popularity - well deserved!!
I just found this today, I need to catch up!
Love how relaxed Frakes is, he is so genial that it is easy to see why actors and actresses love working with him. Also couldn't help but notice Erica had a particular glint in her eye at times......
She’s amazing. So she’s always got a spark.
I love Erica. The best bit of the whole video might be 1:29:37 :D
These people were the end of a era. Where writers actually gave a shit. .I still watch Star trek and Stargate every few years and it never gets old. There has been nothing comparable in the sci fi range...Very sad. Thank you all for all the years of entertainment.
Frakes is one of my favorite actors. From Star Trek to Beyond Belief
Same here, Jonathan Frakes is one my favorites!
And let's not forget that one Twilight Zone episode he was briefly in lol. I remember it being about a secretary, and she became a part of some fantasy where Frakes shows up at a bar like prince charming.
Fantastic time with Jonathan Frakes! Lots of fun hearing his stories and I enjoy his directing! His work with PanCAN Fundraising (along with Armin Shimerman, Kitty Swink, and John Billingsley) is pretty incredible and the story about his brother is very moving. 💜💜💜 Big thanks @ShuttlepodShow !!!
Thank you Dave!
"Friends just shooting the shit" has got to be my favorite RUclips genre.
We like it to! Thank you for stopping by!
@@ShuttlepodShow *too
I love Pod's with Jonathan Frake's, he's so open about his career and tells such good BTS anecdotes. Great work everyone! :)
He is in to K-Pop too? I never would have guessed that from a Jazz man.
Great show. So glad Johnathan Frakes shared his time with us today. 💖💖💖
Jonathan Frakes's energy is amazing. I very much appreciated that he was willing to be a guest and that you invited him to your show. Thank you all for a very fun interview!
First of all ... I love Frakes. (Can I call him that? =) .. But what amazes me most about him is that he's been in like 6 or 7 Star Trek series, 200 episodes, directed however many ... But yet is still humble and open to collaboration and advice from other directors on how to act his character. The man is a class act. (No pun intended.)
He is the real deal, and knows his work stands on its own.
PLEASE get Amanda Plummer on the show. Her acting was genius.
Such a stupid thing though, bring in a weird character for a finale. It could have been almost anyone from the last 30 years.
A - G R E E D!! That didn't work out how I envisioned it LOL but I so agree with you she is a treasure
She's a quality actress but the writing for her character was just awful. Like everything about Picard.
@@hannibalb8276 people say you can have any girl from Star Trek to be yours in the ribbon, everyone's like Bev einsign ro... I'm like, give me Robin lefler 🤩
I absolutely have to say something. I was going through a rough spot about six years ago. Bad marriage, worse job. And I escaped into Deep Space Nine re-runs and then Star Trek Enterprise and then Voyager. I would watch them over and over. Going to the Gamma quadrant or the Delta quadrant was an escape from a really shitty life. In discovering these interviews, it is nice to hear about went on behind the scenes to hear about the craft and to understand more about acting. But as I hear you talk more and more about your Star Trek experiences, I realize that what I was drawn to in my hard times was this sense of family that you were all able to bring to your work. I love how you have all created this professional family. What a blessing you have all been to each other and to the fans. Thank for sharing with us. Thanks for these series of interviews. I am slowly binging to catch up and will definitely be watching as new episodes come out. You are definitely on to something.
Sue you are awesome! Thank you for sharing. We are grateful to have you in our little family!
Same here...I've been submerged in the Next Gen era of Trek for four decades. Women love to put on law & order or whatever crime drama show at the end of their day, I put on Trek. It's like a safety blanket that _never_ gets old.
@@Chalor. yup
What makes this episode so cool is Franks openness to talking about what derailed his career, and how brutal the movie industry can be.
I came for the Star Trek talk, but I've stayed for the Industry insights.
(I'm not in any acting or anything, I just enjoy learning behind the scenes talk)
I didn't realize Jonathan Frakes brother had passed away due to pancreatic cancer. Hit home for me because I am dealing with pre cancerous lesions / cysts in my pancreas. Thankfully last week had a one year follow up MRI and they are still PRE. As a malginant papillary thyroid cancer surivor celebrating another year of cancer staying away! Loved the show and have subscribed so I can see more! I have been a Star Trek fan since my teens in the mid 70's when I discovered reruns of TOS.
Stay strong and all the best
Stay strong.
"Belay that order. I can't leave him. I owe him a lifetime the least I can spare is a minute. I'll see you soon". Unarguably the most heroic line of all time in any Star Trek, ever. What a moment. Troy knew immediately, her look was devastating. This was really it. With Worf beside him RIker showed everything about why we adore these characters, this ship and this show. What a storied performance across decades to reach that moment. Fantastic history. Yes, I was in pieces and it was glorious! Well done Terry.
Jonathan Frakes you deserve an Emmy and many accolades for your work on Star Trek: TNG but even more so, for Star Trek: Picard me and my Wife really resonated with your performance on Child loss, it felt so real and truthful a performance. Thank you for the podcast and for sharing so many amazing stories about your life and career.
That freakin' Frakes gets funnier every time I see him.
Also, he just Riker Maneuver'd your entire Shuttlepod.
Love Frakes. His enthusiasm for everything he has worked on is always great.
I can't get enough of this channel. keep up the great work.
Thank you!
@@ShuttlepodShow Who is it that responds on here, if I may ask? Is this Erica, or Dom or Connor?
@@leif1075 No disrespect, but I would think it is a marketing coordinator (outsourced), or a superfan that is helping. It's all good. I love the show.
Totally agree. Love the show - unique
Bless you Johnathan for gracing us with your presence 🙏
Frakes is such a hoot! Could listen to his Trek stories and Hollywood mind all day.
I've got Reed and Tucker talking with number one about the librarians. Y'all I am in my nerd heaven 🤣
The phrase "Soong Family Singers" is gonna give me a giggle for a long time, Frakes.
Frakes seems like such a friendly, warm guy. I was so happy to see him on screen when he first appears in Picard. Like seeing an old friend, even though i've never met him
These are my weekly acting notes - I can't thank you guys enough.
Every beginning actor or director should see these interviews. Especially with Jonathan Frakes explaining the highs and lows of his wonderful career. 😎🖖
Omg Dominic let the guest finish a sentence or thought! “So Patrick took us to dinner and was..” (ohh I can’t wait to hear this story)…Dominic: “so how about the weather?”
Dominic is so rude and unprofessional. You can see the guest holding their frustration on his horrible practices.
@@scottchitwood3022 he seems like a nice guy but yeah I had to turn it off it was driving me nuts. And neither host really know anything about Star Trek ironically.
I feel the same way about Keating being so jacked up on hearing his own voice!
Interrupting left and right...RUDE.
I know he's excited to have the conversation and really wants to be involved, but yeah he needs to pull back just a bit and really learn to listen and let the guest drive a bit.
@@G0ldnFen1x can we get Frakes back for a redo?
It's kinda gutting that something like Thunderbirds can damage careers for people who are a part of them. As a kid who was obsessed with Thunderbirds I remember being so damn greatful that they decided to make a live action movie. I didn't care what critics said or what movie buffs thought. I got to watch thunderbird 2 in a cinema. Worth it!
God, Frakes has so much charisma! He's one of those guys I would love to have a beer with and just listen to him tell stories. I could listen to that man talk all day!
I'm from the UK, I first saw Jonathan Frakes in a guest starring role on an episode of The Waltons on Channel 4 in the mid-Eighties. I thought he had an interesting look. When I saw him later in Encounter At Farpoint I remember thinking, "That's the guy from The Waltons!"
Frakes did a guest spot on "Quincy M.E." as a drug dealer who killed a woman and the only witness was a shut-in.
I remember seeing him on an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in the early eighties. He was playing JD Hogg’s nephew. I think it was Jamie Lee Hogg.
There's SO many more stories that can told for the crew of the NX-01, I really want to see that ship get it's refit. Trip DIDN'T die, If Paramount are going to be rocking one of straight to P+ then please please please, we NEED the OG crew. I confess it took me a little time to get into Enterprise, but now.. it's become a much loved part of my Trek. Connor & Dominic, I can only say that you guys definitely deserve to have the treklight shone on you both. Thank you to all the cast & crew that brought S.T. Enterprise onto our screens.
Jonathan Frakes was a very cool & awesome guest on The Shuttlepod Show .
Connor, Dom, Erica and Mark - congrats on another great episode! Another huge get for the Pod, and you pulled it off spectacularly as per usual. Mr. Frakes was very jovial and a great sport, didn't mind having a few laughs as at his own expense. (My younger sister and I quite enjoyed Thunderbirds when we were little - though she remembers far more of it than I do.) His short time as Captain America sounded wild, I wonder if anyone who got to see him would be up for sharing their story? While his tales about directing and his time on Picard/TNG were fun, my favourite aspect of this episode was getting to know his stance on the Enterprise "finale". I know it gets discussed alot by the fanbase but getting to hear an opinion from someone (aside from our lovely hosts) that was a part of it was really cool. That's awesome you've managed to snag Levar for a future episode, I'll be looking forward to that one. As a big Tom Paris fan, I'd be overjoyed if you'd be able to get Robert Duncan Mcneil! All and all, another awesome episode, I'll be eagerly awaiting to find out who will be on next week. As always, happy Shuttlepod Sunday everyone! 😊🖖💚🍃
Hearing Dominic say he still has his original Thunderbirds toys brings my absolute joy. Fantastic!
We approve this message.
Its amazing the different perspectives... re: final Enterprise episodes. I understand where people are coming from... but the reason I thought it was a very good idea is because it served to truly solidify Enterprise into the canon of Star Trek by having TNG tangibly deal with the existence of a prequel series. And it simply was not done in an insulting way. I was maybe visually disturbed that Riker and Troi just were looking a touch rough for trying to play their season 7 selves, but otherwise it wasn't handled respectfully, no?
You guys are climbing up the ladder, here. When can we expect Scott Bakula and Patrick Stewart?
We are working on both. Can’t wait to announce it when scheduled.
You need Brooks too. We need a Captains panel! Make it so.
I'll bring the tea, earl-grey, hot.
@@arthurdent9745 For Scott we need Ice tea....
@@qamplaysDwayne Pride!
Johnathan Frakes is brilliant and I'm loving this interview BRAVO 👏 Shuttlepod Show ❤️🖖
Dominic and Connor remind me a lot of Dominic Monaghan (Merry) and Billy Boyd (Pippin) and their continued antics/relationship after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Like them, you two have continued, amazing chemistry together, and it's a joy to see.
Star Trek: Enterprise is criminally underrated.
So true.
So glad to see Jonathan Frakes on the show! Love his stories. Great interview! Thank you, Connor and Dom, Erica and Mark.
Did I just hear that Mr Burton is coming soon?
I've had a rough week and this just interview and announcement just made it all better.😅😊
Enterprise had a perfect casting - the actors were spot on for the characters. Connor, Jolene and John were amazing in their role
Could not agree more. God, I wish they would have gone 7 seasons.
Moby Dick was also in Wrath of Khan: "from hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee"
Yes. Kahn. Whilst the genesis device was overloading. Also the book is on the bookshelf in the housing structure at the beginning when Chekov and Captain Terrell are snooping around.
I absolutely love hearing the truth about working in television and movies and not the scripted pablum we usually get. It's wonderful to hear the struggle and the success that people have and to be told truth about what why on with the cast. Frakes and Joe Franklin I think were the absolute best in honesty. Bravo guys on a great show. This is the only video podcast that I watch. When one is a true fan of a show it's a gift to hear the reality behind it all. Thank you. ❤
Thank you!
Someone tell Frakes I loved thunderbirds, that movie was a banger, just couldn't compete with Shrek and spiderman. Also loved the librarian movies.
I've never rewatched a season of anything until Picard season 3. Absolutely loved it.!!
Right!?
@@ShuttlepodShow love your show, glad to have found you folks.!
@@ShuttlepodShow I'm sorry I unsubscribed. It was because of Terry Matalas who reminded me that you have to have faith to believe you can boldly go where no one has gone before. Star Trek is saved. Because it's Star Trek.
Can I just say Thank You!! As a fan of Jonathan's Thunderbirds movie, I have always wanted a podcast or someone to ask him about it, and how he feels about it in 2023 so thank you guys!!
the ❤ from all 4 quadrant for people involved in the Cultural Phenomenon called Star Trek
Haha, I burst out laughing when he mentioned Savile, what a dark turn
I'm so glad that you got Jonathan Frakes on Shuttlepod Show! He is great. So funny and such great stories. I can imagine this podcast could have gone on for 6 hours and you all wouldn't have run out of banter. I look forward to Levar Burton soon and hope that, one day, you get Sir Patrick.
Frakes is just a fabulous guy. He really shone in Picard, and he is a great director. But his larger than life energy is just infectious
Thanks Shuttle pod great yet again. Last scene of Picard you can see TNG cast literally are enjoying each others company it was great to see .
Just saw General Hospital excerpt with Eliza Frakes - daughter of Jonathan Frakes and Genie Francis. 👍🏾
Damn Frakes is here, basically the next gen Kirk.
ya i remember the pitch was that there were not going to be stunt cameos and such and then...
I skipped season 2 and i was told season 3 was excellent and i think it was the best of the bunch.
Cool to see everyone. i did not realize Enterprise was that long ago!
When i grow up I wanna be just like Riker, this guy is just as cool in real life !!!
Jonathan is just so genuine! I love this guy! Fortune enough to have met him twice! My family lives here in NEPA between Happy Valley and Bethlehem PA. Jonathan grew up here.....I have just lived here in the last 3rd of my life. I guess I just want to have the simplest connection to this man!
Certainly Number One in my book! MrJonathan Frakes😍🖖 Spin-off should definitely have Riker in it!!! Thanks for another great show!
I am such a fan of The Bill. Hearing Dominic Keating and Jonathan Frakes talking about The Bill is like having my two big fandoms collide. Thank you, this was a fun watch!
Yay another awesome guest -- thanks @The Shuttlepod Show !
That was a nice shout-out of them! Have fun Mo!
I'm Genie's age & have loved all the STs. ALL of them. (Watched the original when I was such a young kid.) And the movies. My much older sister & mom always had GH on when we got home from elementary school. (Yes, watched The Wedding.) Weirdly grew up on Genie & Jonathan, separately. I'm so pleased that Jonathan is way cooler than he was as Riker. 😅 Love the way he speaks so highly of his wife after all these years together. All around awesome conversation.
It was only after I finished Picard S3 that I stopped and thought, and realised how easily I accepted these characters back.
For me it was never a long overdue reunion. I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. Picked up where I left off. It was 20 years since the TNG cast had been together, but it might as well have been yesterday.
It was 20 years since the TNG characters had been together, but the cast stays in regular touch with each other.
In my mind canon, Trip never died at the end of ENT. His death is never shown in the proper timeline. It was just a holodeck program. He was actually recruited by section 31 and became a high level agent so they tampered with the history books in order to explain his leaving enterprise.
Dominic appears to be one of those guys that doesn't care if someone else is speaking--constantly steamrolling over everyone else. Connor definitely has interviewing and conversation figured out.
It's a cultural/conversational thing I think. He's not trying to be a jerk, he's trying to be part of the conversation, and I think most of it is done subconsciously. It comes across on camera much worse than it does in person. I think they may be able to help it a bit by lowering his microphone's volume when the someone else is speaking (I only have basic editing knowledge, so I may be wrong).
This is more of a conversational podcast than an interview
I'm from Rochester NY where the Luke and Laura wedding was filmed. Jonathan, ask your wife about Rochester! Love this episode.
Now y'all gotta get Scott Backula on.
yes 20 years should be enough to get over that disrespectful final episode...
Connor and Dominic were so completely amazing in Enterprise... I loved that series.. and wish it could have continued.. such great characters. Glad to be able to watch Connor and Dom use their amazing talent here to interview Trek actors.
I'm glad Jonathan gave a shout out to Apple' TV's "For All Mankind". Everything about that show is absolutely fantastic and is a one of the few scifi shows streaming you can actually look forward to each week. Ron Moore at his best again
just a shame some good shows, which are far and few between, are all on different streaming channels. Many today just cant afford to be subscribing to 3 or 4 different ones.
The mandatory black gay person was very offputting. It has become a token which I do not appreciate. South Park's Token has become of an actual representation of black people then what modern day Hollywood is spewing out.
I just want to personally thank you, Johnathan, for saving my beloved Star Trek. You did what I thought was impossible with the apparent ease of a master in his craft.
I just found this show and I absolutely love it!!! I love the length and the casual warp and wend of the conversation. It has really kept me company. I have been binging episodes all week! Dom and Connor...Really happy to see you two doing this. Though I have always been a huge Star Trek fan I was living in England during the years Enterprise was running and somehow missed it in its first run but during the Pandemic with time to binge watch I binged Enterprise and I really LOVE IT! It was fascinating to see how they fit the show into the past of Star Trek I loved all four seasons for different reasons, And normally when I binge watch anything I skip the opening credits but the theme song (which at first I wasn't crazy about but came to love) kept me watching the opening credits for every episode. The words really reflex the feeling of the first two seasons!' I'll stop rambling now but wanted you guys to know that I love the Shuttle Pod Show and to also say how much I love Enterprise and it should have had a fifth season!!
Thank you Celeste! That’s awesome. We are glad you’re here!
Exactly my experience!
Grew up with my father telling tales of the original Thunderbirds from Saturday mornings tv in Ontario, Canada. Went opening day to the 2004 movie. Great memories!
It's funny, as much as the final episode of Enterprise doesn't work for me at times, Frakes does, he's endlessly charming on screen (and in real life). One of those things where the idea seemed so much better on paper than in reality, especially since there wasn't going to be a 5th season. That last scene with Archer and T'Pol always gets me though.
Just stumbled on this podcast, time to go backwards and catch up! Our family just started rewatching Enterprise just a couple weeks ago, still my favorite of the Trek shows!
Excellent! Welcome! Glad you found us!
Frakes is one of my all time favourites. Love how he says it like it is. Fantastic episode Shuttlepod crew.
love this interview, had to watch it again after seeing a recent one with Mr Frakes on the inside of you podcast. He's a lot of fun. Cool to see all you guys/gals together.
You guys keep getting better and better all the time! Incredible. The best Trek talk show ever.
I see Dominic is back in his full form of not allowing anyone else to finish a sentence. He has been doing so well the last few episodes. Somebody rap his knuckles again! 😡
That's enough!. You can be polite about suggestions but this entitled attitude. "Wrap him on the knuckles"? who the hell do you think you are. The interruptions are not nearly as bad as your comment would suggest (granted, he does overly interrupt) . The reason you are annoyed is because you want to hear Frakes talk, you'd happily hear only him talk, and that's fine, but don't be so disrespectful about it.
1000% agree with this. I want to support this show but I can only listen so much of him
He needs a handler or something. Maybe some pain compliance. He’s ruining the show.
Not wishing bodily harm on anyone, but not gonna let that stop me from stating I had to cut this one short due to him constantly butting in.
Nah, he's fucking annoying. I agree with Mr Pumpkin@@TheycallmeMrWonka
That was such a good discussion with Frames the hour and half was over in a flash. I loved him teasing about the 4 year run of Enterprise, I thought Dom was going to come out of his chair LOL
Just wanted to say thank you so much for everyone of these wonderful gems! This podcast always makes my day! Such a privilege to hear from every one of these incredible guests! For a massive lifelong Star Trek fan like me and others around the globe you really are spoiling us! Thank you so much and keep up the incredible good work every one of you! Definitely one of my favourite podcasts ever! Thank you! Lisa, Scotland 😁👌🙏❤️
We need a William Riker series
Frakes is a class act
How great would this episode have been if Mr Frakes got up and went to Dominic and back handed him saying "STFU AND LET ME FINISH!!!"
HA! Epic!
@@ShuttlepodShow No, seriously - tell him to reign it in. Like, he's got good energy and good engagement but he really needs to pull it back a little. ATM he's just stifling the guests and the whole flow of the conversation.
