r/DeepSpaceNine on Reddit: Does Avery Brooks dislike Star Trek?
March 22, 2025 -
I’m a recent huge fan of DS9 and Star Trek in general and I just watched the “What We Left Behind” documentary and it was weird how Avery Brooks was really the only one missing and they seemed really coy when talking about him. I got the feeling like he wants nothing to do with Star Trek which is odd since he’s the main character on a show that ran for 7 seasons. I just find it curious.

Watch William Shatner interview him on Captains and you'll see everything you need to see. Avery is a fascinating person that views the world differently than anyone I've ever seen.

For anyone referencing "the captains" keep in mind avery brooks was essentialy trolling shatner, the man teaches he knows how to be coherent, and he also knows how to fuck with an arrogant guy throwing really low ball questions at him.
