startrek | the captains (a documentary)

it's about william shatner interviewing the other trek captains (even the guy from the new movies) about being trek captains. who the got the role and how it changed their lives. for better & worse.

while at first glance it looks like more of shatner boosting his own ego, it's actually quite interesting. it runs about a hour thirty-six minutes & if it were longer, it would still be interesting. IMHO. kind of wonder what could've been done with say paramount throwing some more money at the project, instead of epix.com (or whatever) doing it.

the promo on youtube

someone uploaded it to youtube. check it out before it's gone.

some things i found interesting:
patrick stewart has been married & divorced twice. and doubts he'll marry again.
kate mulgrew's sons hate voyager because she spent so much time working on it. they've never seen it and never will.
avery brooks is like yoda. saying stuff that, unless you're a jedi, you don't get.
shatner himself maybe be coming to terms with trek & he role (no pun intended) in it.
