    The Captains

    I watched William Shatner's The Captains Sunday night. This may have been brought up already, but Avery Brooks is looney.

    That may be, but he's in second place on my list of fave Captains right behing the Shat.

      Was it a good show? Anything new in terms of insight into the shows?
      It's all good!

        It was interesting. Kind of wacky in a Shatner-type of way. Brooks is off the farm, but plays a very cool piano. If you like any of the Star Trek shows, it's worth watching.

          It was less about the shows and more about Shatner coming to grips with (or at least appearing to come to grips with) his place as an icon. I enjoyed most of it.

          One thing I did learn (which is probably common knowledge)... but Chris Pine's dad was Sarge on Chips. Another Mego connection!

                  I saw it and it was very good. I do think Avery is nuts though.

                      I REALLY need to sit down and watch this. Sounds intriguing...

                          Shatner's Kirk and Brooks' Sisko...are without a doubt...the two toughest Trek captains ever.

                            ^^^ After those two, its Janeway, Archer and waaaaaay behind is picard. He's just so bland of a character.
