The interview that Jonathan Frakes gave to last month’s StarBurst Magazine is now on-line at their site. You can read the complete article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Frakes talks about his thoughts on the future success of the show:<\/p>\n

That’s my day-to-day, and then I direct a few shows. Obviously, I go and check in whenever I can, since my office is right there on the lot….”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And what he thinks of the cast:<\/p>\n

“…I think the kids are fabulous. I’m very fond of them. I feel an affinity for them because it feels like the beginning of Next Gen, as I see these kids getting used to having a television series, having a full-time job and learning everything that goes with that, the good and the bad, including the fact that they have to build up their stamina to work our 15-hour days….”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
