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."
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!
Being homebound with Lyme Disease I wore out all of them; well not really. There are so many that they never seem to get old! I’m better now, but I still go to sleep each night with one, or another ST. My Gen X son is a trek fan too and he also uses the shows to fall asleep. The most disappointing part of the new series is: only 10 episodes, with a year, or two in between seasons. I wish they’d return to more of the great dialogue and stories, simpler sets and less dependence on special effects so that we could have MORE episodes. It would seem that the tech today should make production easier, rather than harder, less expensive and take less time. They use to have to make all of those sets by hand. Now it’s all green screen. Maybe they could fix the ending of ST Enterprise with an AI version. I’d love to see a fan based contest to rewrite the finale season of STE and then have it produced with AI characters.
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.
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.
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
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?"
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
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!
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)
@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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......
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.
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!!
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.
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.)
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
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.
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! 😊🖖💚🍃
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!!
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.
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!
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.
I just found this. I did not watch the show when it was on. I'm old, I loved TOS. But my husband and I just bought and watched the whole series in 2 weeks. The Enterprise “valentine” to the fans was just so wrong and I'm glad everyone acknowledges that. When Trip died I just cried my eyes out. Love to all of you.
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 😁👌🙏❤️
Another wonderful show guys, well done. It's not often I can be on the ground floor of a channel as it breaks out in popularity. Please don't forget us little people when your channel become super famous, guys! Much love to all!
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. ❤
"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.
Absolute pleasure catching this live today (finally now that working and podcasting is settling down) and I have to say what an interview. You guys are going from strength to strength every week. Frakes is so awesome! Looking forward to the future guys!
Another great interview and so glad to see the channel is starting to gain the props and recognition it deserves, with much more to come I hope. J. Frakes.... what a great actor, director, and person etc. One of the legends of Trek, no question.
Every beginning actor or director should see these interviews. Especially with Jonathan Frakes explaining the highs and lows of his wonderful career. 😎🖖
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!
@@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 🤩
What an absolutely lovely, lovely, warm man. I bet he’s great to work with and brings out the best in everyone when he directs. Thanks for a perfect episode! a wonderful conversation and the intimate atmosphere made us all feel part of it. I really didn’t want to let him go at the end. 🙏🏻
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.
Yes! Where are all of the great writers! It’s space, it has unlimited possibilities. Maybe the fans should start writing, we certainly understand what it takes to make a great story.
Fantastic show guys.. I said a while back that it this show was the best Star Trek content online... It's now become one of the highlights of the week.. Look forward to every episode.. Congratulations on you success, long may it continue...
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.
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)
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.
Enjoyed the heck out of this episode/interview. I'm really feeling that you all are finding your footing on this and look forward to more! Definitely would love to hear more behind the scenes technical and directing and producing stories (I myself am not into the TMZ stuff; who didn't get along, who did, etc..). Keep up the great work everyone! Star Trek: Enterprise 10-part streaming reunion show where we find out Trip didn't actually die, when?
I've been rewatching the Star Trek shows and as I do when I'm watching them I look up things to find answers about obscure lore or things that intrigue me and I find this podcast, so glad I did!!!!!
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!
Given how much Star Trek I watch I'm surprised it took the algorithm this long to recommend this channel to me. Great episode and I really enjoyed the non-StarTrek stories Frakes told.
What a great big smile on my face seeing these guys fight against the current.. Just stopped by to say hi to my favourite podcast on the whole of the internet! All my love and hope to the best franchise ever to hit the tv, and now, the internet. You guys are welcome at my house forever!
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!"
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.
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!
@@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.
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!
All I can say is that the ""Shuttlepod Show"is one of favorites... You give your guests the ability to expand on things that are important to them, and have a damned good time doing it. Well done, all around, and it was a pleasure to see Jonathan Frakes at ease. Thank you for this.
This show has become my regular Sunday morning coffee, toast and cigarette viewing, however busy day today so could not watch this morning or have a chance to go on UA-cam, got home from work Sunday night/Monday morning at 3am, thought to put on a quick half hour of UA-cam before bed. suffice to say I didn't go to bed its now 0440am and the sun is coming up. Thanks for a great episode, was stoked when you had Gates on a few weeks ago but seeing Jonathan who played my favourite character on TNG was something special to me as growing up he was a hero of mine. Thanks for a great show, always looking forward to the next :) Live Long and Prosper
Just when I think you can't possibly top the last podcast you manage to do it again and again, Jonathon was awesome a real gentleman ! Great job guys keep up the good work! Thunderbirds are a Go!
The podcast of all podcasts. Awesome discussion, especially about napping. I take naps and after a warm shower afterwards, I feel like I can conquer the world.
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!

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.

Completely agreed.

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.
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!
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.

It's the dream of every person that their real thoughts and feelings should matter...
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.

@@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

Great show. So glad Johnathan Frakes shared his time with us today. 💖💖💖
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.
Frakes is such a hoot! Could listen to his Trek stories and Hollywood mind all day.
I can't get enough of this channel. keep up the great work.
Thank you!

The whole concept of Trip btw on Section 31 is pretty interesting because it shows how old that dept. is.
So glad to see Jonathan Frakes on the show! Love his stories. Great interview! Thank you, Connor and Dom, Erica and Mark.
These are my weekly acting notes - I can't thank you guys enough.
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
Love Frakes. His enthusiasm for everything he has worked on is always great.
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.
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!!
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.
Bless you Johnathan for gracing us with your presence 🙏
I’m still watching and omg Dominic please please let the guest finish
--and let the co-host finish.
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.
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
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
Johnathan Frakes is brilliant and I'm loving this interview BRAVO 👏 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! 😊🖖💚🍃
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 .
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!
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.
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!
You guys keep getting better and better all the time! Incredible. The best Trek talk show ever.
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.
I just found this. I did not watch the show when it was on. I'm old, I loved TOS. But my husband and I just bought and watched the whole series in 2 weeks. The Enterprise “valentine” to the fans was just so wrong and I'm glad everyone acknowledges that. When Trip died I just cried my eyes out. Love to all of you.
That freakin' Frakes gets funnier every time I see him.
Also, he just Riker Maneuver'd your entire Shuttlepod.
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 😁👌🙏❤️
Another wonderful show guys, well done. It's not often I can be on the ground floor of a channel as it breaks out in popularity. Please don't forget us little people when your channel become super famous, guys! Much love to all!
"Friends just shooting the shit" has got to be my favorite UA-cam genre.
We like it to! Thank you for stopping by!
@@ShuttlepodShow *too
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.
Absolutely fantastic podcast. Glad I’ve found this, must say it’s the best for in depth interviews. I’m hooked. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've got Reed and Tucker talking with number one about the librarians. Y'all I am in my nerd heaven 🤣
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!
"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.
Absolute pleasure catching this live today (finally now that working and podcasting is settling down) and I have to say what an interview. You guys are going from strength to strength every week. Frakes is so awesome! Looking forward to the future guys!
Frakes is one of my all time favourites. Love how he says it like it is. Fantastic episode Shuttlepod crew.
Another great interview and so glad to see the channel is starting to gain the props and recognition it deserves, with much more to come I hope. J. Frakes.... what a great actor, director, and person etc. One of the legends of Trek, no question.
Man i love this show so much. Everything about it is so well done! Much love you all
Every beginning actor or director should see these interviews. Especially with Jonathan Frakes explaining the highs and lows of his wonderful career. 😎🖖
Jonathan Frakes was a very cool & awesome guest on The Shuttlepod 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!
LOVE IT! Jonny Frakes is so much fun! Such a great show! Love you guys!
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 🤩
The phrase "Soong Family Singers" is gonna give me a giggle for a long time, Frakes.
What an absolutely lovely, lovely, warm man. I bet he’s great to work with and brings out the best in everyone when he directs.
Thanks for a perfect episode! a wonderful conversation and the intimate atmosphere made us all feel part of it. I really didn’t want to let him go at the end. 🙏🏻
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.
Yes! Where are all of the great writers! It’s space, it has unlimited possibilities. Maybe the fans should start writing, we certainly understand what it takes to make a great story.
Fantastic show guys.. I said a while back that it this show was the best Star Trek content online... It's now become one of the highlights of the week.. Look forward to every episode.. Congratulations on you success, long may it continue...
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.
I loved this show! It was great to listen to Jonathan Frakes. Thanks to you all!
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 love you guys, all of you, thank you for doing these, every single episode is a gift.
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.
Enjoyed the heck out of this episode/interview. I'm really feeling that you all are finding your footing on this and look forward to more! Definitely would love to hear more behind the scenes technical and directing and producing stories (I myself am not into the TMZ stuff; who didn't get along, who did, etc..).
Keep up the great work everyone! Star Trek: Enterprise 10-part streaming reunion show where we find out Trip didn't actually die, when?
Yay another awesome guest -- thanks @The Shuttlepod Show !
That was a nice shout-out of them! Have fun Mo!
I've been rewatching the Star Trek shows and as I do when I'm watching them I look up things to find answers about obscure lore or things that intrigue me and I find this podcast, so glad I did!!!!!
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!
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.
@@ArthurDent_42 For Scott we need Ice tea....
@@qamplaysDwayne Pride!
Certainly Number One in my book! MrJonathan Frakes😍🖖 Spin-off should definitely have Riker in it!!! Thanks for another great show!
Given how much Star Trek I watch I'm surprised it took the algorithm this long to recommend this channel to me. Great episode and I really enjoyed the non-StarTrek stories Frakes told.
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.
What a great big smile on my face
seeing these guys fight against the current.. Just stopped by to say hi to my favourite podcast on the whole of the internet! All my love and hope to the best franchise ever to hit the tv, and now, the internet. You guys are welcome at my house forever!
Nik! Thank you!
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.
So happy to see my fellow Lehigh Valley native and Penn State alum on the pod!
So open and honest. Great interview.
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.
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!
Great channel. The effort to the fans from the star trek crews is unbeatable.
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.
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!
Hearing Dominic say he still has his original Thunderbirds toys brings my absolute joy. Fantastic!
We approve this message.
Thank YOU so much shuttlePod show thank u all the workers cast and crew of shuttlepod show thank u so much
This is absolutely so entertaining. Listen twice already😊
All I can say is that the ""Shuttlepod Show"is one of favorites... You give your guests the ability to expand on things that are important to them, and have a damned good time doing it. Well done, all around, and it was a pleasure to see Jonathan Frakes at ease. Thank you for this.
Thank you Brandon!
Haha, I burst out laughing when he mentioned Savile, what a dark turn
i loved star trek enterprise and especially malcolm reed and trip. i wish we had more of this series to watch.
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.😅😊
This show has become my regular Sunday morning coffee, toast and cigarette viewing, however busy day today so could not watch this morning or have a chance to go on UA-cam, got home from work Sunday night/Monday morning at 3am, thought to put on a quick half hour of UA-cam before bed. suffice to say I didn't go to bed its now 0440am and the sun is coming up.
Thanks for a great episode, was stoked when you had Gates on a few weeks ago but seeing Jonathan who played my favourite character on TNG was something special to me as growing up he was a hero of mine.
Thanks for a great show, always looking forward to the next :)
Live Long and Prosper
Just when I think you can't possibly top the last podcast you manage to do it again and again, Jonathon was awesome a real gentleman ! Great job guys keep up the good work! Thunderbirds are a Go!
F.A.B!
The podcast of all podcasts. Awesome discussion, especially about napping. I take naps and after a warm shower afterwards, I feel like I can conquer the world.
You guys are knocking it out of the nearest airlock... well done keep up the good work... God bless
