Archer's an arrogant, sanctimonious jerk who can't decide if he's a Kirk wannabe or a Picard wannabe.

Archer is a huge dumb rear end and that's why he's perfect for being the captain of the first Warp 5 ship. We're all huge dumb asses.

Cythereal posted:It's not very unique, it's a common thing among black men trained for public speaking and a lot of Sisko's quirks come from Avery Brooks being a stage theater actor who never adjusted his performance for the television set rather than the stage. Cythereal posted:Brooks' stage acting mannerisms give Sisko a unique and memorable flair on top of Sisko's already rather unique character. I think you understand what I was trying to say about Sisko's cadence being unique. No, he's not the only human being on the planet to ever sound that way, yes, it's straight-up stage performance (same with Shatner on TOS.)

Pick posted:I'll try not to re-start poo poo, but it does end up being an issue, I think, that Brooks is very much theater acting around a lot of people who are very comfortable TV (and to a lesser extent, film) actors. It's not quite the same skill set, and to the degree it is, then the entire property has to lean into it. Shimerman is acting in a totally different way for a totally different purpose, for example. Shimmerman was a Shakespearean actor before ds9, and is again.

All the captains and a lot of the cast were mainly stage actors before Trek up until ENT, it was one of those Star Trek quirks.

Sisko chucks himself into a fire pit, ascends to another plane of existence, and then apparates to tell his preggo wife that he’s gonna go get some cigarettes and doesn’t know when he’ll be back for dinner.

But he punched Soran. Picard's punches wouldn't have been enough, he needed those few extra punches as an assist. What a noble death.
