Brannon Braga described
"Frame of Mind" as his best work to date, using his
favorite underused character -
"Riker's a friendly character, he's the one human you
can do humor with, you can do action - and here you can
jerk him around and drive him crazy!" |

Jeri Taylor on the "rush
job" of Frame of Mind -
"We didn't have time to do a story, so we went ahead
and broke this... which is the most risky thing in the
world to do. They're painstaking, they take days, and if
you lose it you're doomed!." |

Brannon Braga
was vary wary of using the word 'crazy' in light of the
current views on mental health -
"People use this word, it's a good word, and I
decided to use it. When you get too politically correct,
it shows, and what's PC today won't be five years from
now. Star trek is a show that transcends time, and we try
not to date it." |
