Don't let Number One see this. He'll have a bird.
RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Barbara Hale. You were great in Perry Mason. RIP William Christopher.

Why "Best of Both Worlds" Succeeded
Almost any episode that involved Frakes taking over a lot of scenes failed entirely. He was horrible at portraying rage, sadness, bewilderment, etc.
But he was solid in these episodes. Why? it required him to portray a guy who was calm and in command-- director qualities.
In other words, Frakes is good at playing himself, and nothing else.
