Please back up your statement. But Im just happy we are talking about Voyager again, especially since this show is basically a spin off of it! I know Gene Rodenberry never wanted Starfleet to be portrayed as a military outfit, but this has gone so far in the opposite direction that its being run like a pre-school participation awards ceremony. Just a heads up (even more way off topic), for those who liked SG , IMO the Atlantis book Legacy series was quite good, telling the story of what happened after the finale. Just when it looks like the character has finally grown as a person and doing her own thing, comes right back. In CanadaDiscoveryis broadcast on CTV Sci-Fi Channel and streams on Crave. It would definitely be great if Rhys was promoted to first officer. What a surprise. However, if we got to see Tilly gradually improve herself. It was a novelty in his first story and they turned it on its head when he got zapped and made super-smart, but most of the time hes very trying, especially when he gets thrown onto Voyager. Its very possible Mary Wiseman wanted off the show, or needed a bit of a break. Marys my TV crush for the last 3 years. Keep up the great work ladies! Is Tilly leaving 'Discovery'? Star Trek star explains that shocking And I want to take care of me so I can continue to be me. By being visible on your TV screen? | November 13, 2021 | People sit around a lot more nowadays for a lot of reasons. Its sci-fi, brah. For more info or tickets visit the Lincoln Center Theater site.

And I agree wholeheartedly. At the end of season three, I felt that she became captain not because she had earned it, but because the time had run out on the series plan for her promotion. Id add Kirk to that at several times over the years. So, hes likely a good fit for the Hageman brothers who say that they want to bring the Wrath of Khan feeling to the Prodigy audience. Star Trek: Discovery | Tilly Chooses To Live | Paramount+ Im proud to be here and I am proud to wear my skin-tight costume and proud of my body. She hasnt mentored anyone except in one episode. Ive re-learned through life experiences how to stop and smell the roses again you might say, among other things. Weve seen a lot of big men in Star Trek but no big girls. However, with the successive changes in show runners the coherence of Burnhams development has been lost. Samarkand? Yes, The Expanse. 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. Even 1,000 years into the future, Burham cannotoh well, that is a different story for a different post. That said, I know people can be cruel and I am even worried bringing up this topic for fear of the idiot fringe piling on, but I hope Mary Wiseman is okay or has a good reason for her weight gain since S1. Let's get into the details of the actress's weight gain, which has also been linked to her pregnancy. So sayeth Scotty, the contrarian. My point was Why does the ships therapist have a bridge station? The Delta Quadrant is a dangerous place, and the remnants of species and societies that survived around the edges of the Borg network and incursions were harsh and justifiably skeptical of the Federations. PS. Sylvia Tilly (mirror) | Memory Alpha | Fandom Gee, so some Trek fans can be @$$holes. I always have to correct it, so its not terribly efficient. TrekMovie.com is not endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with CBS Studios Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp. or the Star Trek franchise. This is rare case were I actually agree with Lorma. Shes one of the shows most divisive characters. At the other end, underweight is also unhealthy and associated with other risks, but gets less negative attention in entertainment. Just take a little trip down the hellhole that is a tabloids message boards and youll see the kind of body shaming of male and female actors and celebrities that exists out there. 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. Weight Gain Explained Rumors are going on that Mary Wiseman is pregnant and she has gained weight. I also know hes basically your favorite Trek author. Saru would then recognize the potential in her, give her opportunities to build her self esteem and confidence, and wed get a good arc that doesnt seem forced like it does now. Its shall we say very variable. Mary Wiseman said in an interview after her departing episode that she'd be back before the end of the season. I for one have always had to watch my weight and I still wage the battle to this day. I agree, the writing, character development, and story telling needs to improve. It is constantly exposing the never ending struggle of smart and talented woman of color. Is Mary Wiseman leaving Star Trek: Discovery, role of Tilly? - CarterMatt I suppose thats why some places are rising and others are very visibly in decline. What do you think it looks like? No spoilers in case I ever decide to actually the write the thing, but youd love it as a DS9 fan. Not everyone is skinny and not everyone likes skinny. Im glad you figured out what works for you, but Im not cool with a Star Trek board in 2021 focusing on an actors weight or appearance, especially when its a man commenting on a womans weight. It is not yet known what role, if any, Wisemans Tilly would have in the upcoming season, with possibilities ranging from guest or recurring character to becoming a series regular again. Sylvia Tilly was an ambitious female Human Starfleet officer who lived during the mid- 23rd century. It is also available on Netflix in 190 countries around the world. Mary Wiseman Talks Curvy Killy On 'Star Trek: Discovery'; Kate Mulgrew To me, at least. She's interviewed several Star Trek . I have nothing against Mary Wiseman. Its just lazy writing. But of course this being Star Trek they SPOILER ALERT bring her back to life! As far as science fiction most Trek shows have normal looking ppl. No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. Good points. However, the problem with Tilly (and this really is more of a Star Trek Discovery problem because it exists with every character they do this to) is that she never made strides or attempts to improve. But I really do like Book a lot! The show had its official opening on Monday, March 21st, and is currently set to run through April 24. Well second most after Burnam , she was fine in season 1 and 2.past 2 seasons theyve rushed her character developmentsame with michael.the vulcan minded human became human real fast. 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. To even suggest that is stupidity writ large. I wasnt complaining there were therapists on board. Perhaps season four will address Burnham and Tillys unreadiness on more than an emotional level. Diplomacy? If there had been a believable logical progression from Cadet Tilly in season 1 to Starfleet Academy instructor in season 4, where they had built up the character to where she shed bits and pieces of the awkwardness as she became more confident in her abilities. Mary Wiseman has established herself as a talented actor on Star Trek: Discovery. Every character aboard that ship represents a minority. Gotta side with Sascha here. And CBS posted some images of Emperor Georgious quarters on the ISS Discovery. Heaven forefend women feel good about themselves! 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. I agree! What was your point to this comment, anyway, except to minimize and dismiss support for plus-size women? That was always the theory I had for Barclay. And if youre able to use that against someone, that could be very, very dangerous. Other ships having counselors in the TNG era was mentioned.

Body shaming is just another category of bullying, with the same general goal of the shamer making him/herself feel superior by putting down others around them, rather than elevate him/herself with goodwill and compassion. But the nu left that this show panders to cant accept any opinion that isnt in agreement with it so they try to immediately invalidate it. Star Trek: Discovery's Mary Wiseman and David Ajala Dish and Discuss Sonequa is by all accounts probably the best or one of the best chef de compagnie of all the Trek series. Hahahaha! It feels the only reason was to have a non-binary character, which after a few episodes ended up fading into the background with the rest of the furniture anyway. Keep up the great work ladies! Since season one, Tilly (Mary Wiseman). Nah Book is Boba Fett and I want to see the spin-off series THE BOOK OF BOOK :-). First of all, because theres more options for cosplay now, because she changed her hair. That does so much emotional damage to a personbut it also says a lot about those doing the body-shaming. Control over ones own body is the most basic freedom we should have. This show has been for a niche of Trek fandom not the mainstream. It was EXACTLY what I needed while mourning my own mother. How does Tillys scientific mind come into play in solving the crisis of the anomaly in season four? I keep hearing the word heartthats the poorest excuse yet. Do you see that tension? Sisko on the other hand.

David Ajala: The first thing that comes to mind, is maybe hes a borderline narcissist, vry egotistical, and self-absorbed. The burden is now on SNWThat show can either make or break it with regards to these issues. Mary Wiseman and David Ajala with their co-stars Wilson Cruz, Sonequa Martin-Green, Blu del Barrio, and Anthony Rapp at NYCC 2021, (Trailer also available for international viewers onInstagramandstartrek.com). Sincerely, obesity is defined in terms of the proportion of body fat associated higher risk of illness. Although criticism of a performance is valid (Burnhams whispering, over emoting etc.) Agreed. Sharing? Everybody loves Tilly. Except the writers of course. The reason why Troi was on the bridge all the timewas that she was a betazoid. Too nervous and anxious. I do not endorse body-shaming in any way, as I was bullied as a kid years ago. For me I love how it deals with social logic as well as technology. By existing? Age is affecting my memory haha. Sonequa Martin-Green in Unification III, Co-showrunner Michelle Paradise shared some behind-the-scenes photos from Terra Firma, Part 2.. To be clear, my opinion on a show has no bearing on how it helped you at a terrible time in your life. I love Tilly. Mary Wiseman (born July 30, 1985) is an American actress. 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. That was why she was never in uniform the first few seasons. And Books starshipthink of it as Star Treks answer to the Astro Megaship from Power Rangers in Space. Actually, the production team is not helping either. https://t.co/zV56ClHoUZ, Kate Mulgrew (@TheKateMulgrew) December 18, 2020. I know a thing or two about haters-pay no mind. They just didnt do much with him. Star Trek: Discovery currently streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. ..I have a total girl crush. The audience is growing due to our amazing loyalty, but I give them credit toobecause Discovery, we have all these new shows. Maybe not but what are your thoughts? Im reaally hoping season 4 will be smoother, Im holding thumbs here. I hope that Wiseman uses that info into the future because it does work for fat burning and muscle building. Weight gain from thyroid issues, anti depressants, steroids, is a fairly small percent of the population. I just hope now that she has been made captain, all her baggage will be finally gone. 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. Respectfully, to anyone somehow offended by that. Everyone has their gifts. Her empathic abilities work via viewscreens? I originally was skeptical but then I turned around in season 1 and really started enjoying it. I recall when Trek featured a French captain with an English accent. The episode, titled "All Is Possible,". Happy to have your wit, enthusiasm, & talent as part of the franchise. That is why you never saw councelors on any other class ship. Make better choices. Too nervous and anxious. Thanks for the heads up about Beyer and the Voyager books. And it was mentioned in one of the episodes of the first season, I dont remember whichwould have to research, that councilors on Galaxy class ships due to the fact that families were on the ship and it was meant for longer than 5 year missions. Then maybe I would actually remember his name! I dont think Tilly is ruined. Heck I think it was more unrealistic when some chick was upset he wasn't ready for sex. And I just let the writers take me on a journey. But my point was that she rarely conveyed anything useful or something that was not already obvious to all. It just came to me and wanted your opinion. Shes magnetic. Mary Wiseman is a beautiful lady as is Sonequa Martin-Green. Andrew: Great, perceptive, thoughtful post! Shes only competent because of her character shield, shes mentally and emotionally immature, out of shape for the job shes in and the role she wanted to perform, and would barely survive in a high school, let alone in any capacity at an actual Starfleet. He has been part of the Litverse writers room run by Pocket Books and knows not only Beyers works but the books written by others in great detail, and across all eras. Being encouraged to eat only what ones body needs is another thing entirely. You either think about what you can contribute to society or how society owes you handouts, respect for above-mentioned bad habits, fictitious pronouns even. I admit, has been a roller coaster between each season. Because Book is someone who doesnt just have cerebral, intellectual intelligence. I feel bad saying this but Ive never a read a Star Trek novel in my life lol. Btw have you come across any good DS9 books about what happened to Sisko or the rest of the crew after the finale? What do you mean? Because she symbolizes the Trekkies, geeks, nerds. I would imagine those who liked Barclay probably include a large portion of those who like Tilly. 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. Overweight and obesity are a leading health risk identified by the World Health Organization.
