The Captains

[Doug Taylor]

Anybody got a chance to catch The Captains yet? It's available for free if you've got the streaming version of Netflix, and it's pretty enjoyable.

It's a documentary written and directed by William Shatner, and in addition to all six Captains of the various incarnations, they have interviews with other cast members and actors. There's not a lot of Star Trek in it, but they spend a lot of time talking to the various actors about their careers, their hopes and dreams, etc. It's quite entertaining throughout. Avery Brooks seems "out there", and nearly all of the Captains express regret about how the long hours of the respective shows they were on were extremely damaging to their relationships and families. It's worth checking out if you get the chance.

I have only seen clips of it, but that is only because I was at the panel they had for it @ San Diego Comic Con.
Avery Brookes was very philisophical on the dais.
However, from what I saw in the clips, yes the original Kirk is better than the reimagined.

Well, Brooks is a prof, so...
