So many Trek documentaies;make room for one more.
Things learned from this doc:Trek actors put in a lot of hours filming,and they still seem a bit amazed by what they got themselves into.
This movie's really a showcase for the Shat,but he does share the spotlight,and he's a good interviewer.
His scenes with Avery Brooks go from interview to performance art;Brooks has perfected the art of artfully dodging questions.
Non-essential.Put this next to Mind Meld,the one where Shatner and Leonard Nimoy sit around wondering why nobody likes them.

I don't know that I ever watched that version of Star Trek, but why would Brooks dodge questions? Did he not have a positive experience with the show?
