Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
"Some"? 29 episodes across TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. That's even one more TV episode than Jonathan Frakes directed. (although Frakes also directed two movies)
Come to think of it: Star Trek had a bunch of actors directing episodes every now and then. I don't think that many other TV shows did that, didn't they?
I remember a few long running TV shows with cast writing and directing episodes.
Duchovny directed a few XFiles episodes.
Two of the leads directed episodes og SG-1, antihero wrote at least one episode.
Those two are just off the top of my head, but I remember noticing cast doing extra stuff regularly. Probably not too common in the early seasons, but it is a great way for them to branch out.
That said, some are more successful than others.
So I was curious and went to look up actors who directed episodes of their shows and guess who showed up on the list (not in a Star Trek number but still) ... Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
Here is the "article" i was reading.
Higher engagement
Better crew. We're like the California class up in here. Daystrom is like the Titan and Star Trek is like NCC-1701(a-z)
Worked so well for r/shitpostcrusaders
Yeah it’s pretty cool! Star Trek had been a bit of a directors boot camp for a while, I know several members from TNG, DS9, and Voyager went on into directing.
I literally watch a ds9 directed by him just today.
I could be wrong, but I think it was the episode where odo goes back to when he was the constable for the cardassians in some psychic state.
It was pretty good, but I think Kira over reacted at the end. Maybe I missed something, but she seems to be too hard on him.
I grabbed the screenshot from: S4:E18 - Rules of Engagement
As someone else above informed me, Levar directed lots of episodes.
You can do anything! Just take a look, it's in a book.
This is news to me! Somehow I've never noticed.
I've never really paid attention before. Somehow is just caught my eye randomly.
Lavar Burton is a goddamn treasure of a man. When you yanks rip down another one of those confederate statues, do me a solid and put up one of Lavar Burton in its place.
