      It’s hard to tell what was direction and what was Avery Brooks’ bizarre delivery. Every so often he’ll put a weird emphasis on some word or make a face like he’s lost it.

        Did you watch any of the documentaries? I think Avery is just an odd duck. Great actor but a little weird. That’s why i love him so much.

        I once read a comment on reddit that was like (paraphrased because i refuse to go back to the shithole): Kirk is a classic rock song.
        Picard is a classical symphony.
        Janeway is an 80s pop song.
        Sisko is a crazy polyrhythmic jazz song with lots of dissonance.

        He’s all over the place! He’ll be all gravitas for one line and a Kubrick stare the next. It’s so difficult to watch. Seems to be improving after s1 though
