Avery Brooks Criticizes Deep Space Nine Finale

Features

By GustavoLeao / 13:00, 26 September 2006 / Deep Space Nine

The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine features a brief interview with Star Trek Deep Space Nine star Avery Brooks. Here are a few excerpts.



Q : How did you feel about how Star Trek Deep Space Nine ended for Sisko, with him joining the Prophets ?

Brooks : The show ran for seven years. It was a long, long road. I did have some reservations initially when I read the script [for the series finale, "What You Leave Behind], because I thought they were going to really kill Sisko. I took that very literally, and asked the producers, "Why are you killing Sisko ?"

The producers told me, "Look we thought you'd be thrilled because we had made him a God !" The difference, of course, is you have Sisko with another child on the way. You still have Sisko with a young man [Jake Sisko] trying to find his way, and you make him a God ! That wasn't fair.

i to hate that they have to kill in order to get emotion out of the fans...

That's just the problem though. These deaths don't generate any kind of emotion. They're just flat and lifeless. They just happen and we just move on.
