Number One is back for one last spin on Star Trek: Discovery. Since 2018, Jonathan Frakes — best known as the actor who played Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation — has been behind the camera, directing episodes of Discovery. Longtime Trek fans will know this is nothing particularly new; Frakes crossed over from actor to director during the run of The Next Generation, and famously directed First Contact, the 1996 smash-hit feature film. And now, he’s helmed “Lagrange Point,” the penultimate episode of Discovery’s final season, having been one of the first Star Trek veterans there when the show first launched, seven years ago.
