Interesting to see that Frakes said his last scene in this episode didn't feel like closure. I'm sure we'll be seeing him again soon...
Frakes lost a lot of weight last year and my guess is that it was because he had a uniform to fit into. 'Nepenthe' was 100% setting up a Riker rescue in a federation starship
Jeri and Jonathan this week: https://intl.startrek.com/videos/watch-jeri-ryan-and-jonathan-del-arco-head-to-the-ready-room A very well done interview this time. Jonathan is quite funny. (And I love his voice.) And Jeri, I think, very much implied she will be back this season. As we all expect, of course.
Well, she obviously needs someone dying for motivation/ character development! See Icheb, Hugh, several hundred drones...
I’m happy to see Will Wheaton follow up on the show. I also like pod cast analysis of Picard and Discovery, but’s there’s not enough time to listen to it. The Ready Room is long enough without be too long.
Where are you looking for it? The videos are available on multiple platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, so if one is down you could try looking in another, perhaps.
I followed the link to Youtube's CBS All Access page. I am In Canada. usually it will say 'Not Available In Your Location' or something like that. Now it says video not available and when I click on the 'Videos- to see what is posted by CBS All Access, the Wil Wheaton video is not there.
The props clip near the end was interesting. The show the items made for Thad's room, including a poster for a 2395 Music Festival at Stardust City. Some of the featured bands: Lunchmeat Island The Hortas Leppo and the Jooves Hex Wrench Church of John Coltrane Tabernacle Choir The Yukawa Couplings Kalman Nebula and his Maximum Warp Klezmorm (?) The Angriest Girl in the Alpha Quadrant Also, the propmaster confirmed that the photo of baby Thad and Picard was taken aboard the Titan. So, if anyone can zoom in on the background, that's our first look at the interior of a post-Nemesis starship!
No need to zoom in, the background is actually a photo of the Enterprise E obs lounge that we already have access to.
Sir Patrick and Pill: https://intl.startrek.com/videos/watch-patrick-stewart-and-alison-pill-head-to-the-ready-room I guess it's a good thing (now) that they seemed to have pretaped all these interviews way in advance. I could listen to SPS all day!
