Ruthless Reviews are one of most interesting movie/TV review sites on the web. The Ruthless Guide To 80s Action is possibly the greatest thing ever uploaded to the internet in the past 11 years. So far, this is nearly as good.

I hadn't checked the site until recently, so it was a great surprise seeing this.

...For me, Sisko strikes the right balance. He is the Star Trek Captain I would most fear at a poker table. Kirk’s luck would run out at some point because he couldn’t just keep guessing right forever. Picard would be tough, but he would have certain limits that could be tested. Archer would be predictable and kind of an ABC player, though a good one. Janeway is a woman with babies and hormones (see her video above). Sisko is capable of anything at any time. His repertoire of decisions includes all of the good ones and very few bad ones. He is a mad man tethered by reason. The fact that gods whisper into his ear could be a problem too. I bet Avery Brooks really had to reach deep to create this persona...
