New DS9 Documentary

FTFY

 

This is great news! I hope Avery Brooks joins the cast.

 

CBS All Access will be interviewing the DS9 documentary makers at the Las Vegas convention.

 

I got my shirts (Kira and Garak) late last week. Anyone else get their rewards yet?

 

^Same here!

 

Mine are still MIA. But it's probably an international shipping thing.

 

In true Ferengi style my package appears to have been intercepted by customs and a £14 charge is payable before delivery!

 

Same here.

 

That's what you get for living in a foreign country

 

It's still ridiculous. I don't have to pay absurd customs fees when I order Doctor Who audio plays from Big Finish out of the United Kingdom.

 

Different countries, different import duties and taxation schedules.

 

It's still ridiculous.

Interview: Ira Steven Behr On Revisiting ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ With ‘What We Left Behind’

DS9 showrunner and What We Left Behind producer Ira Steven Behr has actually been working on the doc for a few years and is set to give fans a glimpse at this week’s Star Trek Las Vegas convention. TrekMovie checked in with Ira to see how things are coming along on the documentary and to find out what he has planned for Vegas.

 

Damn, 150 hours of interviews?!?

Pity about Avery Brooks but I respect and understand his decision:

Great interview from Ira and it makes me all the more excited about this documentary.

 

With the amount of material they've gathered, it feels like they should do a longer presentation than 90 minutes. I wish they'd do at least 2 hours. Really looking forward to it regardless!

 

I can see why Behr would choose to limit it to 90 minutes: Present only the the best of the best of the interviews, or as he said specifically, "identify the salient moments that work the best." Not necessarily everything they recorded is going to be gold. That being said, I don't think it should be forced into an artificial 90-minute limit, but instead it should go with what naturally flows. I would prefer the documentary to be longer, but if roughly 90 minutes of interviews is what Behr thinks is best, then I'm all for it.

 

Avery is my favourite actor/captain along with Mulgrew, so really sad to hear we won't get another interview. But I understand and respect he's perhaps at this point said everything he needs to. But I'm sure the remaining cast interviews will be a blast

   Avery Brooks is involved and gives his full support. Just doesn't have anything new to add to his past interviews. #stlv
