In fact now I think of it, Book aside everyone has an American accent. Rather than shaming them or acting like there are only a few kinds of women worth aspiring to be. Mary Wiseman claims that she wants to inspire all the curvy women around the world with her Star Trek weight gain story. Fitness may be in the eye of the beholder, as hes commented himself that contempories his age have to hit the head just a bit more often. Between Marys comments about how Tilly internalizes her experiences as acting First Officer and Captain and the fact that we see Gen Rhys in the big chair in one of the early production stills, does anyone think that Discovery might get Treks first regular series Asian First Officer? The other big issue Ive always had is the graphic nature of violence, this We are TV-MA streaming, so we can do anything attitude I simply hate that. My preference would be to set it post TUC but quite frankly any other established era would be fine. Lwaxana sometimes I dont mind her simply because she puts Picard and Odo on their back feet, but she was very OTT on shows that didnt really have a lot of OTT characters, and there was little reason for her to keep appearing on DS9 beyond reverence towards Majel Barrett. Do I want to be Sisko or Picard or Archer then most likely yes. No, from Starfleets POV its 3 years. Not Mary Wisemans fault; the writers fault. David, Can we expect any surprising uses of the special things that Book can do in season four, now that he can control the spore drive? SuKal accidentally blowing up all warp ships thats another instance of Trek being intwined with my own life So you offend S3 of DSC, you also sully the memory of my mum and EVERY mother that ever died. Before we move on to SuKal this Thursday, there are still some bits to catch up on from the Terra Firma arc of Star Trek: Discovery. My point was Why does the ships therapist have a bridge station? They made an insensitive statement about her body and called her a promoter of an unhealthy lifestyle. I mean, there could have been but it was never seen or talked about. No probably not. I would not say it isnt a valid creative decision to try this approach, especially in an age where we are emphasizing the need for self-care, its just not to my taste. 71 comments so far. So it has been hard, and its really hard to avoid, because it pops up on all the [social media] accounts, or people comment on my posts with cruel, unscientific comments. And Im even more embarrassed by this, but Ive never watched any of the Stargate shows. I wonder if there is any news that she might be pregnant. Therefore, I love her. Mary Wiseman: That that could be a very powerful person in the Mirror Universe. Jealous and insecure,they can only feel better by putting others down. She wears 36D bra size and weighs 147 pounds. Like maybe he would be way too codependent or something? )Granted, I think the special effects, space battles, bizarre technology and explosions are the proverbial tail wagging the dog, but thats always been the case, and is increasingly expected in these post-Star Wars, high tech decades. Its been a continuing book series since 2009 and still going. Discovery may have just said goodbye to one of its crew, but don't worry: She'll be back. First of all, because theres more options for cosplay now, because she changed her hair. Editor's note, 23 Dec 2020: If you like Wiseman's interview here, then you should also check out interviewer Dawn Ennis's other work. As a Black girl, I felt I was supposed to look this way. They have solved some of these issues the easy way by talking themselves out of it (Klingon hair, holograms, Ariam being no android at all), now that we are in the future none of it really matters anymore. I never thought of Adira as being all that similar, but I see your point. I dont think youre ready for that kind of interaction, online, or anywhere else. They just didnt do much with him. Tillys anxiety got old real fast. Its really just certain comments sections and Facebook garbage holes. Mary Wiseman said in an interview after her departing episode that she'd be back before the end of the season. Find more stories on theStar Trek Universe. People sit around a lot more nowadays for a lot of reasons. (OMG, weve gone way off topic lol.

American actress Mary Wiseman payed several smaller roles in the past but recently gained a big recognition as Cadet Sylvia Tilly in new iteration of Star Trek franchise called Star trek: Discovery. Make it make sense! Personally I dont find that inspiring in any way whatsoever. Its just lazy writing. This week's episode raised concerns. I didnt like Reed from Enterprise, does that make me a troll? Tilly got fat, that is inexcusable. I did, though. Agree. You cant be a Star Trek fan and also be a racist or a body shamer. Its intolerance in its most basic form, and anyone who engages in, advocates for, or turns a blind eye and deaf ear to it are examples of the worst humanity has to offer, and most certainly have no business calling themselves a Star Trek fan. Like her prime universe counterpart, Tilly was portrayed by Mary Wiseman.. Tilly was presumably killed when the Discovery was destroyed in the prime universe.. Apocrypha. Overweight and obesity are not a matter of looks or body shape, and those who feel free to body-shame are off-side and frequently unkind. I think Mary is doing a fantastic job as isSonequa, Their characters are fantastic as are all the others. It took this for me to finally accept who I am. I think Saru will just be the surrogate first officer again although he is now a captain. And if youre able to use that against someone, that could be very, very dangerous. Im mostly just curious if Tillys removal from Disco came from Wiseman looking to do other projects or if they wrote it in and broke the news that she was getting cut as a regular. Conversational, easy to listen to and understand every point. How is she supposed to sound considering nobody knows what people in the 23rd century will talk like? Where did all the good writers go?? It is not OK to be overweight. Tilly should have been introduced as female Barclay or a less extreme version of junior lieutenant Picard in Tapestry (the alternate timeline where his career stalled after avoiding getting stabbed in the heart). Between 2011 through 2015, she attended Juilliard School's Drama Division, where one of her students was future Star Trek: Discovery actress Mary Chieffo. There are admittedly quite a few other Starfleet officers Scotty and Riker, for example who prove that being chunky is still a thing in the future.

Harry wasnt annoying. As an actress and a person I dont mind her at all, shes lovely. But one could argue a ship full of Barclays is not the most convincing portrait of humanity. I would imagine those who liked Barclay probably include a large portion of those who like Tilly. Cant believe some fans complain about character A or B or C. I am sorry, but the obsessive complaining about Sonequa/Michael or Mary/Tilly, for who they are, is so rude. She is relatable and human and wonderful. Why do you think being nervous or anxious means that you can not graduate from the academy? Thats the thing about DSC. Somewhere in the bowels of Secret Hideout, they invented a computer program that can cobble together scripts that fit various parameters. Its one thing thats definitely been improved upon by the more recent stuff. DS9 Avatar books 1 and 2 were quite good and helpfully kicked off the DS9 Relaunch sequence. By existing?

I wasnt complaining there were therapists on board. But I did not watch DIS S4 either. Bad writing, illogical story arcs, unbalanced tempo, underdeveloped characters or sudden jumps in character development. They told us and a handful of other outlets what to expect for their characters and more. Mary Wiseman: That experience affects her so much this season. Or are you only a troll if you criticize something about Discovery? Btw have you come across any good DS9 books about what happened to Sisko or the rest of the crew after the finale? The door is open, I suppose, if that show should fail for some reason, but I doubt theyll just throw her back into the same role on the ship like nothing ever happened. By being visible on your TV screen? Most of what she did was convey the amazingly obvious like offering such useful insights such as, Hes concealing something but I dont know what. And her abilities were never fully defined. I highly doubt the writers decided to just write her off for the hell of it (especially given how much everyone in the cast and crew love her). In fact most iterations of Trek the actors have provided a neutral delivery of their native accent. The Tilly we saw as Earth, check that United (eyeroll) Earth was being evacuated is NOT the same Tilly we saw for the previous 40+ episodes. With his skill and abilities, we will see how he may use them in a way that may affect his relationship with Michael Burnham. Episodes will be available on Fridays internationally on Netflix.

This is not a good show and not a good Star Trek Show too. All are different. Hey writers room go back to TNG and see how a child became an honourary bridge officer on the Enterprise D. (something equally puzzling to say the least) Picard did it because the Traveller who could traverse space time and see the future and past told Picard it was extremely important to encourage the boy. Tilly is a wonderful incarnation of our inner geekdom, a person you would find at conventions or in fanfiction I love this character so much because she isnt perfect. Plenty of curvy ladies are quite healthy and active. It was EXACTLY what I needed while mourning my own mother. Everybody loves Tilly. Except the writers of course. Heck I think it was more unrealistic when some chick was upset he wasn't ready for sex. In fact, at least on this website, I often see the contrary.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Discovery is the flagship of the modern-day Star Trek television franchise, premiering in 2017 and about to launch its fourth season on November 18. I never felt that what has come before should define the franchise in the future. My lady, you are so fine that I want to have your baby. However, Tilly's rise to Lieutenant in Thursday's episode of Star Trek: Discovery did not invoke feelings of joy. Someone with a lack of intelligence throws a race card at every debate. It means something to me. It just came to me and wanted your opinion.
