I thought her arc was going to end with her being booted from the service for repeatedly failing physical fitness tests? I cant stand any sentence (especially related to DSC) which starts off with Everybody loves Its never true. I dont think Tilly is ruined. So I think Tilly definitely goes to employ those skills. Look at the progression of Nog on DS9 from Quarks juvenile-delinquent nephew in season 1 to Starfleet Ensign in the Dominion War on how writers can make you believe in a characters growth and progression.

Ive read plenty of well-deserved criticism of the writing but to my knowledge, there has been no widespread criticism of STD acting or physical appearances. Overweight is a risk of becoming obese. Jerks. They should all try for the standards of randos on the internet like you You made very good points and I do agree. Shes one of the shows most divisive characters. It was EXACTLY what I needed while mourning my own mother. This is not a good show and not a good Star Trek Show too. If Tilly needed to pick up a phaser or be physically active then that means the Discovery is in some serious shit, with it either having been boarded and their entire security personnel neutralised, or with Tilly separated from the ship, most like due to its destruction. I guess making Tilly first officer isnt anywhere close to ridiculous as making KT Kirk a Captain who was still a cadet and had probably spent 2 weeks in space before he got the jobbut its pretty damn close.

That sort of thing contributes to some pretty hardcore dysmorphia sure, they are famous and have luxuries and money so many of us dont, but hearing stories like how Carrie Fisher was told she should lose weight to be able to reprise Leia, or how Kumail Nanjani is scarily fixated on his physical appearance now is sad. Although they didnt really use secondary characters wellthey still dont. During the 1st season, Michael helped Tilly to gain confidence and then continued to nurture that confidence through . What I should point out though is that Mack earned the moniker Angel of Death among the Litverse fans.

Every woman is very beautiful. In a Paramount+ featurette (which you can see below) about the making of the episode, Wiseman talks about how Tilly has changed: Coming back for the finale was really exciting for me because she comes back in this fully black Starfleet suit. In season three Tilly was first officer and then acting captain; how does all of that affect who she is in season four? I am a therapist in real life, and even *I* think it was crazy that they had a therapist on the bridge. Development for the fifth season of Discovery is well underway, with production expected to begin in June. Being encouraged to eat only what ones body needs is another thing entirely. To be clear, my opinion on a show has no bearing on how it helped you at a terrible time in your life. Although the last TNG with Trois mom wasnt terrible. 42 comments so far. We love that someone who isnt super fit was cast, especially that its a woman. By: TrekMovie.com Staff Im glad for you that you didnt find him annoying. It took me 3 seasons just to remember all their names. It just came to me and wanted your opinion. Sure, its not perfect, we all have a nitpick here and there, but as long as it has a message, it revolves around people, and some cool science stuff, its trek to me. As long as Wesley Crusher exists she will always be in a race for that title. But it would seem to me that it might ought to be standard practice to have a Betazed on the bridge on all starships if those stills were so needed. No, from Starfleets POV its 3 years. We never saw her effort to become that person. That one ship generates more energy than present-day Earths entire human energy expenditure, generates its own artificial gravity, and violates causality routinely. Its her, Adira, Stamets, and Reno who are the really hard science people. So I was also just very excited for the fans. Not sure what her weight has to do with anything. Sonequa is a great actress. However, if we got to see Tilly gradually improve herself. 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. Im glad we are finally seeing it. Tilly (Mary Wiseman) leads the stranded Starfleet cadets to safety. Keep up with theStar Trek Universe at TrekMovie.com.

Was that really a Betazoid characteristic or was she just reading faces and gestures? Star Trek: Discovery | Tilly Chooses To Live | Paramount+ 'Star Trek: Discovery' Theory: There Is Something About Grudge each series has traditionally had someone that acts as a way to explore the inner humanityie spock, data, odo, doc/seven. Against all odds, shes in Starfleet and thriving. Shes responsible for her subordinates and to lead by example. You mean that I can find myself a BBW in the 32nd Century? If I was a public figure I would do zero social media, ignore the internet, cash my massive paychecks, sign autographs for real in-person fans I meet, and be so thankful Im not working in a grunt job making minimum wage. The laughing, alone, is far more damaging and shameful and disgusting and disrespectful than obesity itself. That does so much emotional damage to a personbut it also says a lot about those doing the body-shaming. Shes a geeky, nerdy character, so wonderfully over the top, like so many of us in the fandom. I originally was skeptical but then I turned around in season 1 and really started enjoying it. There is also the issue that a crew needing constant therapy sessions while regularly saving the galaxy is not an easy narrative trick to pull off. Episodes will be available on Fridays internationally on Netflix. One reason why I think people gravitated towards Trip the most on Enterprise was that the combination of writing and performances created one of the most believable humans in Star Trek this side of Dr. McCoy and Chief OBrien. Mack is one of the core group of Trek authors going back to shortly before Nemesis. Loved that show, so did my wife. With Discovery now firmly planted in the distant future, Paradise notes the importance of ensuring that that show remains connected to the larger Star Trek universe through well-placed references . I would prefer to finish the rest of Prodigy first season instead. I agree, in fairness Barclay was relatable in many ways, socially awkward but not too overplayed. That was an awfully fast turnaround. That however does nothing to mitigate the way Burnham has been written to be unforgivably self-absorbed throughout many of the key moments of the series. My preference would be to set it post TUC but quite frankly any other established era would be fine. Theres even a scene where she pretty much turns to the camera and says that shell stay till the very end. I think the character would have been much better served if Tillys quirks were something that changed as the character grew over the seasons. You mentioned that the rest of world laughs at America because of obesity. So when Tilly became a teacher I was like, freaky coincidence but perfect!). 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. However, with the successive changes in show runners the coherence of Burnhams development has been lost. Not liking a character doesnt make a person a troll, so Im not even sure what that nonsensical comment was supposed to mean. Its just lazy writing. :). After they wrote her to be the most annoying person possible. Waste of talent. I gave this dumpster fire of far left propaganda 4 seasons. Is Tilly Pregnant in Real Life? Star Trek Cast's Weight Gain Story Its this kind of nonsense that ruins Discovery. That could explain the weight gain. Like damn the guy's 90 ffs give him a break. Is her awkwardness all that different from Ezri on DS9? Two Kelpians and a Disco Kenny (Zero Kelpians were harmed during this shoot. Thanks for the heads up about Beyer and the Voyager books. Mary Wiseman Talks Tilly's Future On 'Star Trek: Discovery' My lady, you are so fine that I want to have your baby. The journey to discovering Tilly, the rescue puppy that would change our lives, began before she was even born. Her character Tilly is not my favorite on the show but body shaming is a shameful act by itself. Im reaally hoping season 4 will be smoother, Im holding thumbs here. Her empathic abilities work via viewscreens? Mary Wiseman is sending the message that your body is your own, your responsibility, and nobody elses business, not any sort of health and fitness message. And thats a healthy outlook. The Enterprise D was the only place we saw a councelor. Star Trek is supposed to be socially progressive but this show went too far. Just more pandering. Heck I think it was more unrealistic when some chick was upset he wasn't ready for sex. Although criticism of a performance is valid (Burnhams whispering, over emoting etc.) You misunderstood. GD, what shoes is David wearing in those pics? Paradise was most likely referring to the shows production and creative teams. It just happened. 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. Took time to reset the franchise. But one could argue a ship full of Barclays is not the most convincing portrait of humanity. Not with DSC, not with ANYTHING. Mary Wiseman | Body Measurements Since this is a show for kids and its not directly focused on the Voyager characters (at least not yet ;)), obviously I dont really expect any of the bigger plot lines from those books to happen; but it would be cool if the basic idea stuck around and that the Protostar was part of a long term mission of advance starfleet ships heading back to the DQ for study. For me, generally speaking, when Barclay or Trois mom appeared it signaled a terrible episode in advance. Right? No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. advantage. They just didnt do much with him. It seems like people like her say: this is me. Sigh all you like, but thats not going to magically make physics and biology work differently. Just when it looks like the character has finally grown as a person and doing her own thing, comes right back. MS Wiseman owns the sadistic Bitch Capt Killy like she does Tilly. Like maybe he would be way too codependent or something? Not holding my breath hes given the job though, especially since we know Saru is coming back. There are a lot of people in the comments hating, but in a franchise that includes Neelix, Wesley Crusher, Naomi Wildman, Kes, and Lwaxana Troi, Tilly is frankly nowhere near as annoying as those other characters. I have only heard of the details a few months ago thanks to a video that TrekCentral (amazing YouTube channel) made about it for Prodigy theorizing a connection. By the way, could of isnt English. Finally, actress Rekha Sharma shared this fun behind-the-scenes photo with Doug Jones and David Benjamin Tomlinson, where she lamented Landry being killed off yet again. And Id add she has a hero complex too always wants to save the day/galaxy/whathaveyou. 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? BTW, I know this is waaaaaay off topic, but since you are the literary Trek lover on this site and keep up with a lot of the books, do you think Prodigy is going to use some of Kirsten Beyers Full Circle Voyager story lines? Its not celebrating obesity to say that her body is her business and nobody elses. She's interviewed several Star Trek . Agree.
