I’ve been on a slow rewatch of Star Trek DS9; tonight I’m on S2 E23, “Crossover”

And, just. Damn. I’d almost started to think it was just part of Avery Brook’s acting style, but he absolutely can be mobile and expressive—even with subtle expressions—when he wants to be!

Which just… means that Sisko, as a character, isn’t. With very nearly the sole exception being when he’s interacting with Jake. Huh.

#star trek ds9 #benjamin sisko #avery brooks #star trek #ngl his stoneface was starting to get a bit distracting;#especially in the recent Maquis episodes where it was in stark contrast to his Starfleet friend in a lot of scenes #though that also means that his scenes with Jake very rapidly become my favorite scenes with him in general in any given episode sldkfhs #I wonder if it’s just part of how he handles command? Anger to get something done or mischief to ALSO get something done #seem to be his biggest areas of expression when he’s in a command role #I’m gonna have to start paying more thoughtful attention to his reactions now #disclaimer: my threshold for ‘subtle’ expressions might be just be super high #for all I know my neurodivergent ass has been missing a bunch of subtle acting for two solid seasons now sdlkgghdf #star trek meta
