It's fitting that Jonathan Frakes directed this week's StarTrekPicard episode, which marks the first significant on-screen encounter between 'Star Trek's' most popular former Borgs: Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan)

Frakes, who directed "Stardust City Rag," also helmed — the hit 1996 feature film that further explored the aftermath of Picard's assimilation into Locutus of Borg, the alien race's spokesman for their first attempt to add humanity to their collective. But his reunion tour with the Borg wasn't planned. .

before it, this scene, toward the end of the episode, gives the director another chance to not only force Picard to confront the darkest chapter of his past, but to reveal for the first time how that scar never fully healed. We learn that, even though it has been 30 years since Picard was assimilated, he — like Seven — did not come out of that with all his humanity intact. Some of it is missing, and, after three decades, he's still trying to find it.

"Jeri was struggling with finding the quote-unquote voice of Seven. In that she felt that the current version of her character, almost 20 years later, it was challenging to get a bead on what has happened to [Seven] in the passage of time? Is there a world in which Seven could or could not find who she was?" says Frakes.
