Best known in front of the camera as William T. Riker, Frakes compared once again returning to the beloved sci-fi franchise with pals Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and John de Lancie to slipping on a pair of his favorite shoes.
“I was thrilled,” he says of this story. “I was a huge fan of the Borg Queen with Alice. I always liked the Borg story. Alice, because she was our first queen, established the nastiness and the sexiness of the character. Alice established the groundwork for which Annie expanded on brilliantly. Annie works with a fearlessness that I really admire. It is not easy to work through all that rubber-head stuff. She really embraced it.
“This Borg Queen design is so out there,” he says. “They embellished it, but did not change it to the point where it was unrecognizable. And the visual effects team used a lot of the same references [fromfocuses heavily on Jean-Luc’s past and family, a fascinating exploration after the 1994 film, when Jean-Luc Picard learns his brother and nephew were killed in a fire, the Picard family line likely ending with Jean-Luc.
“I think about the day I spent with Brent and De Lancie in the diner,” Frakes recalls of a pivotal moment in the latest episode. “The scene is brilliant. The acting is fabulous. And the schmoozing, while we were having lunch together, was a gift. I think Brent and de Lance have gotten better with age. There is a real confidence in the way they embrace their characters.”
The other character in “Fly Me to the Moon,” who had some big moments and revelations, is Alison Pill’s Agnes Jurati. Frakes found himself floored by the actress who plays the fan-favorite scientist. “I think she is one of our finest actors,” he says. “There is nothing she can’t do. Her timing is impeccable. Her ability to find levity in anything is completely admirable. And yet, she can scare the shit out of you.”
