How Star Trek Just Brought Captain Sisko Back for The Perfect Tribute, 13 Years After Avery Brooks Retired

A continuation of Benjamin Sisko’s story after Deep Space Nine, focusing on his experiences with the alien Prophets, is highly unlikely. Avery Brooks, the actor who played Sisko, stopped acting around 2013, and Star Trek’s writers never seemed eager to solve the mystery of what Sisko learned from the Prophets. However, Starfleet Academy recently established that Sisko didn’t return to the normal timeline (at least by the 32nd century) and cleverly brought the character back through an episode dedicated to his story – and we now have official details on how it happened.
