Earl Grey 78: Same Thing But Better

Cast Direct Episodes.

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner began the tradition
of Star Trek actors getting behind the camera as
directors. In The Next Generation, Jonathan Frakes was the
first to "take the helm" of an episode as a director, beginning
with the season four episode "The Offspring" and spanned all the
way to the third TNG feature film, Star Trek:
Insurrection. Darren, Daniel, and Phillip examine the Frakes' led
stories, as well as Patrick Stewart's, Gates McFadden's, and
LeVar Burton's adventures in
directing TNG episodes. Earl Grey also
follows Burton's directing work into all subsequent Star
Trek incarnations (Deep Space Nine, Voyager,
and Enterprise). They also discuss when Micheal Dorn
eventually got a chair ... a director's chair that is ... for
three episodes of DS9 and one of ENT. Take off
your Starfleet uniform, get into some comfortable clothes, and
get ready to tell your friends what to do in this episode about
cast directed TNG episodes.
