The Captains

[VADM pRett]

If you have Netflix, especially their streaming service, I recommend you watch this. Those of you that have been around me long enough know I'm no fan of William Shatner. He is the EP and interviewer for this project; he talked with the other actors and actress that have portrayed the captains in the other series and new movie (Sir Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula and Chris Pine).

All of the conversations/interviews are very interesting and insightful; the only real exception is Avery Brooks - he seems kinda "out there, man." During a conversation with Sir Patrick, William reveal he had an epiphany about how he felt about the role that made him famous; he was ashamed of it for the longest time.

While I'm not likely to sing his praises, I am also not going to respond like a hostile cat whenever his name is mentioned.

All of the conversations are interesting, as are the insights they reveal.
