Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. should take a pear of pruning shears and cut off that little pecker of yours (its what Killy would do). As you put it: I love how Disco has put the human back into the human experience. And I agree wholeheartedly. I cant spoil anything into season five, except to say that we love Tilly. Speaking to Glamour UK, Sonequa Martin-Green revealed that she has dealt with body image issues too: Back in the mid-to-late eighties, early nineties, everything I saw, with hip hop, was all curvy, curvy, big butt, she recalls.

Maybe having had to step up to the plate before she was ready I think she intellectually knows that she didnt fail, and that its not her fault that Osyraa took the ship, she didnt have all the information, but I still think the fact that that she took command and somehow lost the ship would be an enormous blow to her confidence and make her question a lot of stuff.

You two are Michaels boyfriend and best friend, so does Michael becoming captain create any new tension in season four? She wrote ten books based around this concept and still writing them. Shes a product of poor writing, constantly ditzy and trying to be the light relief to the point where its eye rolling. David, has Michael becoming captain changed Books relationship with her? Shes supposed to set the example. Thats just a matter of preference. You made very good points and I do agree. By the way, could of isnt English. For what its worth Picard has an excellent cast, male and female, it just feels they are one or two notches above their discovery peers, maybe again due to writing/direction.

The Enterprise D was the only place we saw a councelor. Thats undeniable. In fact most iterations of Trek the actors have provided a neutral delivery of their native accent.

Rumors started when some problematic fans of Star Trek Discovery found out that she gained a few pounds between the seasons. I find her character interesting, but inconsistent.

Nibiru? But my initial annoyed response to DISCO in particular, well, Ive let go of that in the past two years, as life is too short to get all worked-up angry over personal quibbles with a tv show. Ive finally had the chance to reply to your comment about Lue Elizondo etc on the other thread. Everybody loves is an idiom, it should never be taken as a strict statement. The reed-thin part sometimes involves unhealthy behaviors. Definitely a character created for the TikTok generation to like.. high five, hugs and ditziness with lots of over emotional feelings on display. The frequency and level of mockery and hate, very often is targeted to the female actors, for them to behave like women, to behave as woman leaders. Fan favourite is a bit of a stretch..quite possibly the most irritating character in Trek history I admit, has been a roller coaster between each season. I expect that well have her in the world and all of those things. I keep saying this but its a great time to be a Star Trek fan again! Any accent would be acceptable for a time that hasnt happened yet. Sonequa is a great actress. Tilly, played by Mary Wiseman on Star Trek Discovery is not pregnant. As for the debate about sending the message being overweight is good: the heart of the issue is that everybodys body is their own, not health and physical fitness. She is super meta. If that happens, I'm betting she'll be a part of it. Where I live people compete on the merits. David Ajala: Ive never thought about that. Mack is one of the core group of Trek authors going back to shortly before Nemesis. Stupid decision to bring her back.

She opted that she had a different calling within the world of teaching and, in the end, she decided that she wanted to chase that feeling. Of all the issues I have with Star Trek Discovery, Mary Wiseman/Tilly is definitely not among them. Ive re-learned through life experiences how to stop and smell the roses again you might say, among other things. But I did not watch DIS S4 either. There are still things that bother me about the new trek too. But my point was that she rarely conveyed anything useful or something that was not already obvious to all. Her message was not that its okay to be overweight (and shes really not that overweight, nor should it really matter), but simply thats it okay to be her flaws and all. 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. That said, the stolid approach to characterization has its benefits as well when an emotional outburst happens it can be devastating (see: Picards breakdowns in the likes of Family, Chain of Command, First Contact), but it also allows for subtler moments to have outsized impacts (Odo asking Garak to breakfast, Seven revealing her favorite color, Picards 1/4 smiles when no one is looking, Spocks eyebrow etc), which is also quite true to life. None of those thinks make a lick of sense. Except that would imply that her being there was the exception rather than the rule.

Its shall we say very variable. The burden is now on SNWThat show can either make or break it with regards to these issues. And I just let the writers take me on a journey. Its gotten very stale now. And saying they should be sending this message is just another way to try to bully someone into doing what you want, not what that person wants for their self. Yes, The Expanse. Just mentioning few of their values. But its at least nice they came to their senses with that ridiculous story turn (unlike Kirk).

(80's for ya) But the show almost seems to go out of its way every season for some of the dumbest story points you can think of. They told us and a handful of other outlets what to expect for their characters and more. Thematic darkness is fine but graphic visuals arent. Wiseman had other things to do. American actress Mary Wiseman was born on July 30, 1985. Body shaming is wrong and immature. I believe we can thank Mack for helping the Showrunners and writers identify species that would work in Prodigy and for some deep cuts. I hope that Wiseman uses that info into the future because it does work for fat burning and muscle building.. Then maybe I would actually remember his name! She is absolutely beautiful just as she is. Plus, TNG literally had a therapist as part of the bridge crew. Yes but Star Trek shouldnt be about lazy writing, poor character development and bad storytelling. Her character Tilly is not my favorite on the show but body shaming is a shameful act by itself.

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. I see other people mentioning the books on Reddit and Youtube because of the new show obviously.

I personally have battled weight issues all my life since high school and when I am eating healthy and trainng hard, I feel great and can do almost anything (power skating, fast hockey, tons of physical activity) meanwhile the opposite is true when I let myself go (and that does happen). Assuming you are American, Im from outside America where it makes a huge difference in how the characters comes across.America is not the world as Morrissey once said.

KevinB: I let go of my preconceptions about what star trek is.. She hasnt mentored anyone except in one episode. I'm finding Star Trek Discovery to be incredibly dull and childish. They made an insensitive statement about her body and called her a promoter of an unhealthy lifestyle. This was her character and then had perhaps one or two incidents where she became a little more focused and then off screen came back a different person. But dont those characteristics fit better on a younger character, while the older one grows up and changes? I think you are talking jibberish.
