The 'Best' 'Trek' treat

If you’re eager to see “Star Trek” on the big screen, you don’t need to wait until May for “Into Darkness” — you can check out one of the franchise’s finest moments in theaters tonight.

“The Best of Both Worlds,” which joins the two-episode story line from “Star Trek: Next Generation,” is also out on Blu-ray Tuesday (in addition to the Blu-ray of season three of “Next Generation.”)

The episodes have Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) captured by the menacing Borg, who assimilate him into their bio-organic fold. It’s up to Commander William Riker — who gets a promotion to captain for these episodes — and the crew to get him back and save the day.

amNewYork spoke with Jonathan Frakes, who plays Riker, about the episodes.
