Captain Sisko once threw a photon grenade and killed 50 Jem'Hadar. Then the grenade exploded. They named a street on Bajor after Captain Sisko, then had to change it because no one crosses Captain Sisko and lives. Captain Sisko was once bitten by a Mugato. After 5 days of agonizing pain, the Mugato died. Romulus wasn't destroyed by a supernova. Captain Sisko jumped out of the orbiting Defiant and punched the ground. Captain Sisko once destroyed a Dominion warship by pointing at it and saying "Bang". The Prophets didn't understand linear time until Captain Sisko punched them into next week.
The beard and shaved head look was so iconic because it was the look he had for his famous previous character, Hawk. From my understanding, the producers wanted to make sure that Sisko wasn't going to just be a recycling of Hawk, so they had Brooks grow his hair back out until they were comfortable enough with Sisko being his own unique person.
What always stood out to me about Sisko was that he was the first captain to actually have a life outside of being a captain. Kirk was "married to the ship" and never had much interest in family or planet life. Picard had a poorly defined background (at least until his later series) with an estranged brother and a vineyard, and got his fix for Shakespeare and archeology while zooming around space. Sisko had a fully thought out characterization with a son, a deceased wife, and a ship-building job (not to mention: BASEBALL). I think the franchise had matured enough by DS9 to give us a protagonist that was more than "space captain goes on space adventures".
Not entirely accurate. Janeway was engaged to a Human philosopher at the start of Voyager. Starfleet presumed Voyager "lost." 4 yrs later alter Voyager started; her ex-fiancé Mark Johnson got married. Kirk with temporary amnesia did marry a 1st Nations lady on a planet that the Preservers seeded centuries before with Human Native Americans. Her name was Merimee (spelling?). She was stoned to death by other tribal members and miscarried their baby. Kirk also had an affair with scientist Carol Marcus. They had his son Dr. David Marcus. Carol asked Kirk to stay away. Carol wanted their son in her world, not following his father to Starfleet. Kirk clearly regretted to her request.
Sisko has long been my favorite character in Trek (replacing Kirk). He was a badass, at a time when a badass was needed, and I LOVE his voice. Didn't know he was a musician, guess I'm gonna have to go looking for his music, now. Thanks!
I was at a professional conference once, and was wearing a Star Trek shirt, a person working there asked me who my favorite captain was. Without missing a beat, I reply "Sisko." He looks at me for a moment and goes "....interesting choice" I feel if he hadn't been on shift I'd have been in for an argument.
I still hate how season 3 of Picard borrowed so much from DS9 and yet we got no guest stars apart from Worf. DS9 has shaped the series so much, yet still remains in the shadows.
In retrospect it makes more sense for Sisko's appearance to change overtime. If he was bald and bearded from the beginning, it would've subtracted from his character development. Brooks's unease with this appearance shifting into his more confident demeanor later on is reflective of Sisko's character development from being a commander to getting promoted to captain IMO.
The IDW Star Trek comic series Godshock is really good if you’re a Sisko fan. It guest stars lots of other classic Trek characters. I’m a sucker for anything involving Sisko’s return!! 🖖✌️
One of the most talked about aspects of Sisko's portayal from the start was that he was playing *against* the stereotype of black children being raised without their fathers. That's why he insisted on indicating in "What We Leave Behind" that he'd be back, and why I really hope it's canonized that he returned on the day his second child was born.
Tony Todd would’ve been great as Sisko too. But Sisko/Brooks is my fav captain, and DS9 my co-fav trek along with TOS. The character development in DS9 was incredibly good.
Far Beyond the Stars is my favorite Star Trek episode in the entire franchise. The entire cast did amazing, but Avery's emotion made that episode what it was. What you left behind? The best 50 F'ing minutes in television history is what you left behind. I like Picard, but I always felt Sisko was "my" Captain.
Intersting thst he had a falling out with Siddig, as i always got the impression sisko, didnt like Bashir. Reapected him, would go to bat for him but didnt consider him a friend.
@@hansvandermeulen5515 Alpha Gamma and beta quadrants. I am sure there's more than a few beta quadrant species it wouldn't mess with him either. I mean look how human manipulated the Romulans. They are alpha and beta as are the Klingons
I want an official Cisco update, and if it's not going to be done by Avery Brooks, I would say that they wouldn't necessarily have to bring Jake back and they could cast Ciroc Lofton as his father. L O L
I truly wonder why Avery has withdrawn from the fandom. Sisko is beloved, but perhaps Avery is not into the kind of mayhem that frequently happens in conventions.
Avery is an intersting guy. I have two theories: either he believes or even knows that there is a language of music running through the entire universe....or he is batsh*t crazy. Either way intersting dude.
I knew that Sisko was an associate of Section 31, helping Data and Geordi, to keep Worf, the greatest poker player ever, from winning another hand after, "The Emissary."
that can very easily be amended. He told Cassidy he didn't know when he was going to be back. He even said it might be yesterday. Remember the profits are timeless, so there's no telling when he would show up again. They might even send him hundreds of years into the past or thousands of years into the future. There's just no way to know.
EVERY iteration of Trek has movies, follow-ups, and additional stories- except any of the series with Black leads. Current producers of Trek have no respect for the character of Sisko or the stories of DS9. We'll see how it goes with Disco and Decks.
Let's be honest here. The hair and beard were an "uncomfortable white people" move. They just didn't want to ever say it out loud. However, the 90's were huge for black representation and the look was viewed far more positively by the time he was finally able to get it into the show. Do I need to remind you of the saga of bearded Geordi?
Gods, but I'm so glad James Earl Jones didn't go for the role, as strange as that sounds...someone with his voice and Shakespearean style should be a Klingon.
I never liked Sisko. It was a background character fire me. Everyone including Jake was a better developed than Sisko. If he would be missing from 90% of the episodes I wouldn't even noticed.

Best comment on this video!
Best ST comment of the year!
ROFL! That's great.
He is the most interesting Captain in Starfleet
I don't always commit War Crimes, but when I do I can live with it.
Raktajino my friends!
Captain Sisko doesn’t do pushups, he irradiates the surface of the planet. Did I do this right?

The look from Hawk suites him well.
@@jojoone1099 What if it penthouses him well?
@@GabePuratekuta
I have no idea what you mean by that.
When I rewatch DS9 I realize how well thought out the show was from beginning to end EVERY character had an arc.
For me DS9 still is the best star trek show & Sisko is the best captain ❤❤❤

Sisko will always be my Captain. But DS9 is also to this day still my all-time favorite Trek Series.
Both for me as well😊
Same 👍🏽
Agree

Ben Sisko and Chuck Norris were once staring at each other before a fight.
They shook hands and went for a beer.
This needs to be on Christmas Day on the chuck Norris calendar
I had no idea about Peter Capaldi's connection. That's insane!
I still hate how season 3 of Picard borrowed so much from DS9 and yet we got no guest stars apart from Worf. DS9 has shaped the series so much, yet still remains in the shadows.
This is what I have been saying! DS9 and Enterprise get NO LOVE from current Trek producers
DS9 has max stealth.
I feel like these videos are becoming more of "10 things you didn't know about the actor who played the character"
In retrospect it makes more sense for Sisko's appearance to change overtime. If he was bald and bearded from the beginning, it would've subtracted from his character development. Brooks's unease with this appearance shifting into his more confident demeanor later on is reflective of Sisko's character development from being a commander to getting promoted to captain IMO.
My favorite captain! The Sisko!

It is a pretty good run of Trek comics
I love Captain Sisko! He's my favourite Captain. "Far Beyond the Stars" is the best episode. ❤❤
I'm a In the Pale Moonlight guy myself. But he's by far my favorite.

That's why he insisted on indicating in "What We Leave Behind" that he'd be back, and why I really hope it's canonized that he returned on the day his second child was born.
They did that in the books, and I *hope* it happens onscreen one day...

I would NEVER trade Brooks as Sisko but now I NEED to see Capaldi in a Captain in his style.
A golden rule throughout the Alpha Quadrant:
_"Don't f*ck with The Sisko."_
Alpha AND Gamma Quadrants.
Q probably started that rumor.

Answer: "He's the Sisko whatever he damn well wants"
Best ad I ever saw!!!
Sisko is clearly a descendant from the Man called Hawk
The Sisko is of Bajor
I hate “you don’t know about” titles. “You might not know” is less insulting, especially if I know some of the facts already.
You have a low bar for what counts as an insult.
I want an official Cisco update, and if it's not going to be done by Avery Brooks, I would say that they wouldn't necessarily have to bring Jake back and they could cast Ciroc Lofton as his father. L O L
What does Avery Brooks have to do with a software company, though?
I was disappointed that the video glossed over Sisko's actions in "For the Uniform".
I'd love to see him in STO.
best Jazz captain there ever was

As sfdebris pointed out reviewing 'Tribunal'- "I didn't invent "The Sisko is a badass meme", it invented itself!"
A Sisko list!
Lower Decks confirmed that Sisko is still chilling with the Prophets in the wormhole.
that can very easily be amended. He told Cassidy he didn't know when he was going to be back. He even said it might be yesterday. Remember the profits are timeless, so there's no telling when he would show up again. They might even send him hundreds of years into the past or thousands of years into the future. There's just no way to know.
He also could've popped out and visited his son and wife for a week and gone back in. Maybe he can do so by way of the orbs or something?
Bald and a goatee --- good look for Sisko.
i noticed you said “graphic novels” are you talking about the current comic book run?
Between season, he made a Spencer reunion movie too
Wow, new uniform you're using. Since when was it introduced in starfleet?
They have newer star trek comic books with cap sisko after deep space 9
so they possessed her (likely against her will) got her knocked up by some total rando and then were just like "thanks for that!!" and peaced out??
Pretty much. lol
Long overdue list
❤❤❤
