This is such a treat. Janeway and Picard are my favorite captains. Kate is doing a great job as "Red" in Orange is the New Black, but unfortunately her hair became a victim to her role. She mentioned that when they cut and died it magenta she almost cried. She always had beautiful hair.
The show itself wasn't that great, but the last 2 seasons really had it come into its own but ended too soon. It could have been a great redemption for the show. I still think Archer was a good captain.
@@709mash He wasn’t a bad Captain, but compared with the likes of the other 4, there’s really no comparison. Especially Sisko. DS9 quickly became my favourite series. Never thought a show set on a space station would work, but damn it was brilliant in every way. Sisko and Picard will always be my 2 faves.
@@muttley8818 Didn't think a space station would work? Check out Babylon 5, the show of the story that "inspired" DS9. It's a must see and my second favorite sci-fi show of all time after TNG.
i think that was the best show! i did not like when the shows started to focus on one specific war and enemy. i loved the one single shows finishing up one story and they were great until they made a never ending war story out of it.
100%! I normally hate that stuff and the dryness of the birthday song, but how they just jumped in warmed my heart. ❤ It was easy enough to do and they are clearly gracious to their fans. What a special memory for that person, regardless of it being forced, as they didn't make it feel that way.
@@Slimer-kf6ssI've heard that too, but only from social media comments, and Garrett Wang, so it's probably mostly overblown. Kate apologized at how she came across to Jeri, but that wasn't because she disliked her, but because she disliked the producers sexism.
Also, in answer to the little boy's question; Space is big. Really big. Think of the biggest number you can think of. Multiply by a million. Then another million, then another million, and you're still not even close to how mind-bogglingly big space is.
I swear I could listen to Avery Brooks read a phone book. I think he is on the other end of the Morgan Freeman voice spectrum. Instead of him being calming and soothing with his silky smooth voice. He has this motivational gravitas to the syllabic cadence and inflection of his speech. If only he were to hold a rally, I guarantee that whatever the cause may be, he would gain infinite support. If I remember correctly he is a huge advocate for human equality, with a main focus on African-American civil rights. I can't express how insane it is to me, that in the 21st century of this common era of ours, that someone has to be a spokesperson for the concept of "equality". You know? The simple human state of think that is literally the easiest concept to master. Where when you wake up and decide what you're going to ostracize and hate. You check the box that says, "nothing". Anyway, I was a DS9 fan growing up and really enjoyed this panel. I wish that someone had found a way for these wonderful 5 gentlemen to reprise their roles. So that they may be on the same screen at the same time. It would have been wonderful, but alas, it doesn't appear like it will be. It would be hard to go backwards with the "Star Trek" movies that rebooted the franchise. I may be wrong, but I'd say that, that juggernaut killed anything involving the former shows.
***** Yes, everyone obviously knows that inequality is bad isnt it? I mean, what good could possibly come out of people working together towards bettering humanity and evolving from the primitive caves people live in surrounded by there ignorance and prejudice caused by uncontrolled primitive emotions? The fact that you are here on this video suggests that you like star trek, and star trek is all about bettering humanity and equality and imagination. Yet you contradict yourself with your caveman comments. What a hypocrite. Such a shame to see so many resources being funneled right into your throat to keep you alive and for what reason? What could you possibly contribute to this world with such a primitive attitude?
This is neither here nor there, but Kate Mulgrew is the youngest of the five (Shatner being the oldest). For something reason I thought that Scott Bakula was younger, but he'll be 61 this year. Time doesn't stand still for anyone.
For the first half of this I thought Brooks really didn't want to be there (or was drunk or something lol) but after the comment about taking his time with his fans, I was a bit more impressed with him
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been a Star Trek fan since the 70's. Although my mom did watch it when I was very young in the late 60's and I remember it then. I was too young to understand it then. I became such a Trekie that I used to audio tape record the shows in the 70's on cassette and listen to them. I had seen each episode so many times, I could visualize in my head what was happening. I also remember when TNG began. I thought they were going to ruin Star Trek. But to my surprise and delight, they captured the essence and magic of the original. Some of my favorite memories is watching TNG with my kids. It is one of the greatest TV shows ever. We went to all the movies too. All the other spin-offs were great as well. This group of actors are all icons. What an amazing group of people. Thanks again !!!
Avery Brooks (Ben Sisco) was the station commander of DS9. Following three years of command of the station, Sisko was given a promotion, attaining the rank of captain, and command of the starship Defiant. So yes, He was just only a captain, but also a station commander, a rank none of the other captains ever held.
Actually the first female captain in Star Trek was the black female captain in Star Trek IV. Also, Rachel Garrett is depicted in command of the Enterprise C in the Next Generation episode Yesterday's Enterprise.
now this might be offensive to some, but I have never been a fan of star trek, however, I enjoyed this interview a lot. The camera work was great from an audience point of view, so to the OP, thank you so much, At first William Shatner was a little "me me me", later on he chilled out and it was very enjoyable to watch. Sir Patrick Stewart, with his voice, is just great, everything is so sincere. Thank you again to G Man for posting this great clip
All you complaining about the video quality and the camera work can piss off! Were any of you there? Probably not, so thank your lucky stars G Man bothered to film this and post it to TH-cam. So happy to have "attended" this con in absentia! Thank you G Man! Great video, in my humble opinion. In my wildest dreams I'd never have imagined seeing these 5 Star Trek captains together.
Avery was my captain of choice. No other captain there, with the exception of perhaps Kate, could pull off the acting and growling needed for being in the chair of a ship like the Defiant. A small, aggressive, little powerhouse of a destroyer that looked as harsh as the captain's decisions often were onboard it.
Thanks G Man for posting this. I was well pissed that i missed them when they came over. Im happy now that i got to see and hear them through you and your camera. Many thanks
This was amazing to watch, thank you very much for posting. I have to say, it would’ve been really cool if just before each captain came out, their respective ships flew past on the big screen.
He is brilliant, he is always thinking and he doesn't like to do press because of an interview he did back in the Spenser for hire days. That journalist took his words and made a mess of things. I was so made but I am always happy to see him talk about the show because he is so brilliant.
Avery Brooks is so cool, as I watch him here I see where a lot of Sisko's character came from. Picard is still my favorite captain, but Sisko is a close second.
Avery Brooks is the best. I cant decide which of the two are favourite captain, but Avery and Patrick Stewart are my favourite people of the 6 up there. They should have got Q to ask them the questions though. Thanks for uploading!
I think I prefer those two as well, though there's a definite warm place for Shatner for me. But Avery is such a delightful moon bat :) He cracks me up and -- at the same time -- impresses.
***** in what way? (I'm not trying to disagree, just curious, please don't take it the wrong way) Voyager's my favourite star trek, but those two are my favourite captains.
bigbentosmit It would be impolite not to tow the party line that it was a reasonable movie. Like, I'm sure they all have their reservations, but they will not go out of their way to admit it in public like that.Personally, I think that both films had their merits (and I'm one of those strange people who liked the second better than the first), but the real problem was that they weren't Star Trek. Not enough thoughtfulness was in the plots, just high-octane rollercoaster thrillride action the whole way through. It could have been any generic hollywood sci-fi action thriller. It's ok at being that, but it's not what Star Trek is, or should be, about. I'd like it if this cast got themselves a spinoff netflix TV show or something, so that they could take a break from blowing things up and go back to something closer to the original formula, the thing that makes Star Trek what it is, and makes it great.
thx for the info. i agree on enterprise. ive watched all star trek series now, just finished with enterprise a few days ago. hell did it deserve 7 seasons, it was a great show
It's like they didn't give Sisko the best introduction. No chance for an applause. It was really quiet, except for a few hecklers and I think it might have left him wondering if he was unpopular. I mean, I wondered it and I thought he was great.
I too have wondered where Porthos would pee and poop in the ship. And what happens when the ship is in combat and gets shaken about? Does it scare Porthos and make him pee on the floor?
Here's my question. If any of you who are watching this video now, could be a member of Starfleet and serve under one of these 5 captains, who would it be? This doesn't necessarily mean 'who is your favourite captain?'. It just means who you think you would prefer to work with. Also, assume that you would be working with the other common crew members normally seen with those captains. As much as I would love to serve with Picard and Data (etc) I have no doubt that Voyager would be the place for me. Those are the people I would want to be with most...
Hmmmm... Well, if I had to answer the question in terms of the best situations overall in which to serve under those captains, I would have to rank them in this order according to the era/setting/situations of the series (in order of preference)... 1) Captain Kirk: Lots of adventure without the end-of-everything-in-the-universe-if-we-mess-up pressure! Wouldn't want to be a "red-shirted security" crew member, though... (Note: Had the coolest crew!) 2) Captain Archer: This "dawn of the federation" era, while challenging, was in my opinion the less "Armageddon-ish" than Voyager, DS9, or TNG... (Note: An okay series but in all honesty, my least favorite) 3) Captain Picard: A lot of adventure but also some serious "end of the world as we know it" storylines that would mean a LOT of stress and unpleasantry... (Note: Wonderful series at the dawn of really good special effects; the writers really started to push the envelop and get it done VERY well) 4) Captain Sisko: A time of war between the Federation and the Klingons vs. the Dominion, Romulans, et al. A very dark period. And to be at the edge of Fed space at DS9 would have been quite dangerous and rather challenging... (Note: I loved the DS9 series, my favorite overall from the characters, story, setting, intergalactic intrigue, and I friggin' LOVED GARAK! This show benefited from years of refined CGI and story telling in the Star Trek universe; but *I HATED* how it ended...) 5) Captain Janeway: Holy crap this was a bad situation from the start!!! To be placed in that situation without any friends or allies around and having to feel your way around uncharted space with enemies and unknowns all around would totally suck - definitely the worst situation/setting to serve under (IMHO)... (Note: Pretty dark, brutal story telling! Loved the edge of this series but I was always left thinking, "Holy CRAP this is a bad scenario to be in...") Just my 2 cents worth...
Kirk - you wouldn't last 1 away party. Picard - ship, crew and captain yep. Plus you could intercede in that episode and try to get Q as a human be allowed to be a member of the crew. DS9 - depressing, not enough holodeck time. You could just relive DS9 episodes on the holodeck when your in the mood for moody. Voyager - choice number 2, good crew, exciting situation, captain can be annoying. Enterprise - meh.
Yea, I wish they continued it, granted it started off slow, but it really picked up the pace with seasons 2 and 3, and it got into that whole deal with how the Romulan/Federation War being just around the the corner at the end of the 4th season. If they had continued I heard, Trip would have lived and they would have had a kickass war with tons of battles.
No posthumous mention of Jeffrey Hunter? Not good. There would no Captain Kirk had Jeffrey Hunter's wife seen the light and agreed to do the second pilot.
Are Trek convention hosts usually of John Barrowman's caliber? I was surprised by how many non-UK attendees there seemed to be--or at least those who didn't have British accents.
I only watched it because of John - and he is worth it! He is so funny and naughty, I love him! Laughed so hard at the bit with Scott Bakula "let me change this for you" :-)

Avery Brooks stole the show. every answer he gave was either deep and insightful or hilarious. The sisqo is very wise
"Avery Brooks stole the show" AND SCOTT
It was pompous and pretentious, wanting desperately to sound profound… but ok…
You don't see Avery Brooks do too many conventions, so it's nice to have some footage of the Sisko.
It’s because he is of bajor
This is such a treat. Janeway and Picard are my favorite captains. Kate is doing a great job as "Red" in Orange is the New Black, but unfortunately her hair became a victim to her role. She mentioned that when they cut and died it magenta she almost cried. She always had beautiful hair.
Janeway & Picard are both abysmal, appalling & a travesty . dreadful & pathetic.
All five of them ought to come together for one HUGE Star Trek Movie
@@oneiroagent Or, pretty much get new actors to play them. Shatner is 90
@@oneiroagent Horrible, this darn pandemic is really gumming things up
Shatner's story about standing in the middle of an airport and flipping out one of the first Motorola flip phones was hilarious 😂
Janeway is my favorite. I've also met Avery Brooks...he had my boys come up onstage with him some years ago.
Is amazing how Piccard got so popular. Of course, Patrick Stewart deserves every penny.
The Sisko is wise...
I wish Scott Bakula had answered more questions.
I am really growing to love Enterprise and it's characters :(

Take 1 dose of Babylon 5 and the Nerdgasms will subside.

Nerp. In fact, I'm grateful you didn't subject me to another mostly-irrelevant "cool story, bro" wall of text.

Here's my question. If any of you who are watching this video now, could be a member of Starfleet and serve under one of these 5 captains, who would it be? This doesn't necessarily mean 'who is your favourite captain?'. It just means who you think you would prefer to work with.

I don't think I could serve with Kirk bc pretty much all non-main cast members died.
For me it would be picard and the enterprise D
Hmmmm... Well, if I had to answer the question in terms of the best situations overall in which to serve under those captains, I would have to rank them in this order according to the era/setting/situations of the series (in order of preference)...
1) Captain Kirk: Lots of adventure without the end-of-everything-in-the-universe-if-we-mess-up pressure! Wouldn't want to be a "red-shirted security" crew member, though... (Note: Had the coolest crew!)
2) Captain Archer: This "dawn of the federation" era, while challenging, was in my opinion the less "Armageddon-ish" than Voyager, DS9, or TNG... (Note: An okay series but in all honesty, my least favorite)
3) Captain Picard: A lot of adventure but also some serious "end of the world as we know it" storylines that would mean a LOT of stress and unpleasantry... (Note: Wonderful series at the dawn of really good special effects; the writers really started to push the envelop and get it done VERY well)
4) Captain Sisko: A time of war between the Federation and the Klingons vs. the Dominion, Romulans, et al. A very dark period. And to be at the edge of Fed space at DS9 would have been quite dangerous and rather challenging... (Note: I loved the DS9 series, my favorite overall from the characters, story, setting, intergalactic intrigue, and I friggin' LOVED GARAK! This show benefited from years of refined CGI and story telling in the Star Trek universe; but *I HATED* how it ended...)
5) Captain Janeway: Holy crap this was a bad situation from the start!!! To be placed in that situation without any friends or allies around and having to feel your way around uncharted space with enemies and unknowns all around would totally suck - definitely the worst situation/setting to serve under (IMHO)... (Note: Pretty dark, brutal story telling! Loved the edge of this series but I was always left thinking, "Holy CRAP this is a bad scenario to be in...")
Just my 2 cents worth...
Voyager definitely
Kirk - you wouldn't last 1 away party.
Picard - ship, crew and captain yep. Plus you could intercede in that episode and try to get Q as a human be allowed to be a member of the crew.
DS9 - depressing, not enough holodeck time. You could just relive DS9 episodes on the holodeck when your in the mood for moody.
Voyager - choice number 2, good crew, exciting situation, captain can be annoying.
Enterprise - meh.
Yea, I wish they continued it, granted it started off slow, but it really picked up the pace with seasons 2 and 3, and it got into that whole deal with how the Romulan/Federation War being just around the the corner at the end of the 4th season. If they had continued I heard, Trip would have lived and they would have had a kickass war with tons of battles.
I was there, it was incredible except for the background noise reverberating around the whole hall!
Loved it thanks I need to attend one of these still
Avery Sounds like a emissary of prophets (Pun!), very philosophical great captain and actor.
Thank you for posting this.
This was the only thing missing from Assimilation.
No posthumous mention of Jeffrey Hunter? Not good. There would no Captain Kirk had Jeffrey Hunter's wife seen the light and agreed to do the second pilot.
LMAO THIS IS GREAT! ALL THE CAPS!! IM HAVING A NERDGASM!!!!
Are Trek convention hosts usually of John Barrowman's caliber? I was surprised by how many non-UK attendees there seemed to be--or at least those who didn't have British accents.
The one big thing from Star Trek I remember is Transparent Aluminum and we laughed our asses at that,well they have it today.
I only watched it because of John - and he is worth it! He is so funny and naughty, I love him! Laughed so hard at the bit with Scott Bakula "let me change this for you" :-)
We didn't spend time with him as a captain in any series. He was there for a pilot and for a couple of cameos.
I want more new star trek episodes made.
Yeah I'd like to see a new series set after TNG/Voyager/DS9. It's been a few years now!
