Yup saw it. Pretty good all considered. Avery Brooks was really emitting the "crazy jazz" vibe, but some of the conversations were quite insightful. Sir Patrick is always a highlight.

My friend, a strong Star Trek fan, said about Avery Brooks, "Geesh, he's acting like he's high."

I responded with, "A lot of those old jazz guys act like that when they're playing their music. ;)

I recorded it on the DVR from some channel high up in the channel count. Have you tried Netflix or a local library? Or the Google PLay store: https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/The_Captains?id=LY_P2SUBARM

Amazon prime has it. Possibly available on youtube

Jesse Cohen said…
For all those asking, the full length documentary is available to stream on Amazon (The Captains 2011), free if you have Prime. Or else it can be purchased there too, but also try your local video store, especially if it is one with a "Star Trek" devoted section. Libraries would also be a option. And there is always the piecemeal YT method.

I caught it on both Netflix and Amazon. Of course if its on Amazon you can also purchase it.

WTF happened to Avery Brooks? Did he just check out of reality when he sits down at a piano? Or, is he just out-of-it?

Pot.   Lots and lot of pot.  Though I have to say the scene of Shatner & Pine arm-wrestling makes the whole show worth it right there.

Adam Zagursky you just said that it was on Comcast so that's a great thing, lol.

Brandon Horwath pretty typical for jazz musicians when they play. I've seen many just go into another zone.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
