All 5 Star Trek: TNG Episodes Directed By Patrick Stewart

Captain Jean-Luc Picard himself, Patrick Stewart, directed five episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Since playing Commander William Riker on TNG, Jonathan Frakes has largely stepped back from acting (though he did return as Riker for Star Trek: Picard), to become a prolific director and perhaps the most beloved of the Star Trek helmers. Frakes has continued to direct not only Star Trek projects but many other episodes of television. Patrick Stewart, on the other hand, has few directing credits but continues to perform on stage and screen, as well as in voice-acting roles. While Stewart may not have taken to directing with the same zeal as Frakes, he directed five solid and enjoyable episodes of TNG.
