In the first episode of the new podcast Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny, actors Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner invited their fellow The Next Generation co-star LeVar Burton onto the show to discuss their time together and what they have done since. During this discussion, they talked about the episode of Star Trek: Picard where they all showed up for a reunion in the third season.
“One of the things I loved about working on that set was the impact that set and us being together on that set had on Patrick,” Burton said. Because he had been working, and this was the second series he’d done in a row of this show. He was exhausted… There was no two buts about it. He was dead dog tired.”
Jonathan Frakes then said that Patrick Stewart was glad to have them with him in the episode, also saying it was nice to get Jean-Luc Picard back into his captain’s chair. “He was glad to have us with him,” Burton agreed. “I saw him rejuvenate.” The three men also went on to praise the recreation of The Next Generation set. “Nothing was different about the set,” Frakes said. “I mean, the color of the carpet, and the chair, and the angle of the ramp up to [Michael] Dorn’s space. I mean, everything about it.”
