Well, I really can't wait until they release all the seasons... Also, I sure do hope DS9 will get the HD treatment as well

IGN interviewed Jonathan Frakes about Into Darkness visit, TNG Season 3, Best of Both World, The Offspring, First Contact and more (interview starts around 7.45 minutes into the podcast):



Question: Did you visit the set of Into Darkness? We heard a rumor that you did.

Frakes: Yes, I was lucky enough to go over there when Cumberbatch was on the set and doing a scene with Pine. He’s a fabulous villain, first of all, and I’m a big J.J. fan, so I was thrilled to be there. I was there one day close to the end of their shooting. I think that movie’s going to be very exciting. The trailers look amazing.

Question: Yeah, the new one just came out today. It looks pretty great. It has my 15 bucks.

Frakes: Yeah, me too!

Question: Just one last question. To segway a bit from the success of Season 3 with the Borg, obviously, that was revisited in your first feature film Star Trek: First Contact. I was wondering, what was your process in terms of making the Borg scarier again on the big screen as you guys did for the TV screen?

Frakes: I think the addition of Alice Krige as the Borg Queen heightened the sense that First Contact was not only a Star Trek movie and an action-adventure movie, but in many ways a horror movie. That was something that we embraced, and we shot it in that fashion. I think it worked on its own merit. One of the reasons I think First Contact was so successful was that you didn’t have to know anything about Next Gen to enjoy that story.

I'd like to see the Borg in a new story again, but with way things are going it ain't gonna be quite likely...
