Frakes talks about DS9

Did we ever find out why Riker had nothing to say to O’Brien?

 

Because if he did, O'Brien would notice that he wasn't Will Riker, and his plan blew up in his face

 

I think you know why.

 

Isn't Frakes the only series regular to have appeared in all of the Berman-era spin-offs?

 

Erm. I don't remember him being on Voyager ( he directed a few, but I don't remember him being on screen)

He's briefly in "Death Wish."

 

'Course he is, yes, thanks for the correction

Man, I kinda hope he was a backgroundactorblinkandyoumissitcameoperson in Discovery. That would mean Jonathan Frakes has been in all Star Trek shows expect one.

 

It would actually be pretty sweet if he played a guest role. They could make him an alien if they really wanted to prevent people going ZOMG ITS WILL RIKER. He's certainly not the strongest actor in the history of the franchise, but he has his strengths and there are certain types of character he'd be great as.

 

Make him a Klingon. They already went to the trouble of making the prosthetics disguise one actor, why not another?

 

It could be fun to see him as a Klingon, but I also think it would be a bit of a waste of his talents. He was always at his best when playing the charmer with that shit-eating grin of his. He'd be great as a conman or the like.

 

Why not a Klingon con-man with a shit-eating grin?

It'd be nice to have a more out-of-the-box Klingon. (I always wished we could have seen the Klingon chef from DS9 more often.)

 

Or at a bar on stage playing trombone while the staring characters are talking at a table.

 

Ah there is always the old he is the Great Great Great Great Grandfather of Will Riker

 

Or Spock's sister.

 

I think he had a cameo as one of the orion sex slaves in the finale.

 

He had nice stuff to say about DS9 and I'm glad he's not like Marina who always refers to he show the Deep Sleep Nine. She evidently slept through the Dominion stuff. It would be great to see Frakes appear in front of the screen on Discovery as any character. Just so he can say he has been in every Star Trek show to date.
