    "Brown children, though not exclusively, must be able to participate in contemporary mythology. Must use the imagination to see themselves whole, some eons hence."

  2. @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel @ppatel Ah #AveryBrooks I loved him from the Spenser For Hire series; and his portrayal in the made for Showtime adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

  3. #Spenser has never been adapted faithfully enough for my liking. There was #TV's #SpenserForHire w/ #RobertUrich and #AveryBrooks, a few basic cable #Movies, and then the Netflix one. That shows there's been a fair amount of interest. I hope someone else takes a crack at it.

  8. ... What I mean is #AveryBrooks is a good actor most of the time. But you can see him struggling with that lousy plot non-point.

    Other times when they struggle acting is when they have alter egoes.

    There's that joke episode where Bashir pretends to be James Bond and crew members get caught up in the programme.

    I don't know what Brooks' acting was doing in that episode. It's like he was given free reign and just could handle it.

    I don't know what he was doing.

  10. As much as I enjoy #DS9, I’m really struggling to watch interviews with #AveryBrooks. I respect him, and I enjoy him on the show, but he has such an unusual way of expressing his thoughts that I find it really hard to follow. Sometimes it’s like he’s speaking in a series of tangents.

  11. Holy shit.

    TIL that Avery Brooks (Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s Captain Sisko) did a number of commercials for IBM.
