Great documentary when they didn't talk about politics.
27 August 2019
Lots of great interviews, especially of Avery Brooks who is not very visible these days. The best part was when the writers got together and hashed an episode that would have taken place 20 years after the last episode. I really enjoyed this doc, as would any Trekkie. But Ira Steven Behr just couldn't keep the amount of politics to an appropriate level to tell the story. He had to add a bunch of current day news footage that was very slanted on one viewpoint. I also got very annoyed at him and bunch of other white liberals patting themselves on the back for doing so much for black people. And I'm not gay, but I got offended by his stereotyping of Garak as gay (seems that he forgot about the hetero love subplot they had written for the character). So two stars off a well-produced show.
