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 thought it cheated Sisko, Kassidy, Jake, and the unborn child. It left the door open for great wrap up theatrical or TV movie... but you knew it wasn't gonna happen. The only Behr decision I didn't like.

If they had one more episode they could have used WYLB part 1 as the penultimate epsiode, and fleshed out the WYLB part 2 into two hours.

Don't forget about Tasha Yar and Jadzia Dax. They were taken out of the way for no real purpose, too.

no one really dies in star trek, i never fealt sisko died in the final episode i took it as he was gone but one day he would return he had to be with the profits but they would return him much much later, thats how i fealt the final episode ended.

any one in star trek can return, if kirk was back for the generations movie then hellow!!!!! any one can come back even DATA! in star trek anything is posible maybe in nemesis right at the beginning of the explosion "TIN MAN" swops in and takes data away and everybody thinks data died.

i to hate that they have to kill in order to get emotion out of the fans when they can make better stories with deeper meaning of story telling
