James Brolin or Jonathan Frakes? - Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction (1997) Discussion

[–] WalletGuy 18 years ago

I also prefer Jonathan Frakes. I guess I am a bit biased since I started watching the show with the second season when Frakes was the host. I didn't see the Brolin episodes until much later and didn't really care much for him as the host.

James Brolin made me laugh because he's a washed up has been. So my vote is for Riker. Jon seems cool and can make fun of himself!

You're argument is based on the fact that frakes isn't washed up?

sorry but when all you do is "con's" you are the very definition of "washed up"

see will wheaton, worf, frakes, data. etc...

Frakes...and he's gone on to direct more these days.....you seem to favor Brolin, wonder why? Jonathan is WAY much funnier and easy on the eyes (yes, even now!)

James Brolin. something about his not caring attitude towards the whole show and his crooked smile when the stories were fake made it hilarious. did he quit the show after the first season or was he fired or what?

I preferred Jonathan Frakes.
His voice was just right for the type of show it was.

Jonathan Frakes all the way, biaaaaaaaatch!

The ways I hate James Brolin.

He just looks like a jerk, yanamean?
He doesn't even have to say a word, just squint his beady eyes.
Upon further observation of his personality, mannerisms, and the way he talks, he leaves no question.
Just when I thought my disdain was finished building, I find out he's married to Barbara Streisand. Took it to a HNL.

I actually started watching this show when Brolin was host, but Frakes was a much better host.

Yeah , I started watching with Brolin as the host too . The only boring thing is the story-telling segment . Seems like an all deliberate plot to drag time and save capital for the show .

I was baffled to suddenly see Frakes doing the other seasons .

Why wasnt Brolin casted again as the host ?

Is there some strange truth for this ? Perhaps someone could reveal the truth for me just like the show ?

[–] solidsnake5128 17 years ago

I think that people just didn't like Brolin, and from what I've heard, he's kind of a pain to work with. Personally I think Frakes is a lot more charismatic and enjoyable as a host. But that's just my opinion.
