It's the interview documentary William Shatner did with Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula and Chris Pine.

Man, Avery Brooks fucking nuts.

Avery Brooks is the only interesting person on that list.

I saw that a bit back. Brooks looked seriously stoned the way he moved and just started singing.

I caught this a few weeks ago on the Biography channel.

Pretty interesting.

I saw it. Kind of boring for a time killer, but a few sort of interesting stories and attitudes.

I agree, Brooks seemed to be off in his own little world. But that could have been the editing or Shatner told him it was for a episode of Weird or What?

I though it was pretty great. I came away with a much different opinion of Bakula in particular. :smt102

Avery Brooks was high as a kite, though. :lol:

I strongly suggest if you have not watched ST:E in handful of years, go watch it and try doing it with back to back episodes. It really was one of the best Treks out there, with only a handful of poorly thought out episodes. The cast was really great and so was Bakula.

Funny you should say that, because I put it on my Netflix queue a couple of weeks ago, and I plan to watch it as soon as I'm done with Star Trek: The Animated Series. (Strict gave me shit for admitting this on Facebook.)

Eh... they should be watched. The Animated stuff was fun.

With ST:E, I watched it a year ago in marathons after not seeing it at all for two years. I went in with a head clear of thinking it was poor or should have been another TNG. I was impressed with it. The premise that this is humanity first getting out there and being at the start of the learning curve and pretty much full of youthful naivety and energy... hubris and having them learn the hard way... evolve as characters... great stuff really. I think like so many back when it was first run, kept expecting and sort of wanting more of the TNG formula and while we got some in recycled episodes, it was really a bad way to watch it.

Strict is a little too hard assed on Trek sometimes, I think.
