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.

DS9 really deserved an 8th season (even a short one) to wrap things up. WYLB felt somewhat rushed...but the last few minutes make up for it.

Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
