Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man. I AM VERY EXCITED.
He was in William Shatner’s documentary Captains, and based on what was on screen Avery Brooks is fucking crazy.
Crazy like a fox!
I thought he was tossing back to Shatner the crazy the Shatner was throwing around.
That sentence got complicated. But I’m sure someone out there will totally understand my grammatical choices. And I’m keeping “the Shatner” choice.
Is this a fake???
Unless he’s here to introduce Patrick Stewart, I really just don’t care.
Quoth every naysayer on this comment thread: “Pah humbug.”
