Jonathan Frakes says Gene Roddenberry would love 'Star Trek: Picard's' "painful" politics

Jonathan Frakes knows a thing or two about the history of Star Trek. He and his Next Generation castmates were the last Trek ensemble to be cast by Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. And so, when Frakes tells you he thinks the late Roddenberry would approve of Star Trek: Picard, it’s a pretty big claim. Spoilers ahead for Picard Season 2, Episode 5, “Fly Me to the Moon.”
