Btw have you come across any good DS9 books about what happened to Sisko or the rest of the crew after the finale? 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. Thats just a matter of preference. Not everyone is skinny and not everyone likes skinny. I cant stand any sentence (especially related to DSC) which starts off with Everybody loves Its never true.

Especially when there were just so many more qualified people for the job on and off the ship. Jury still out on Books character.definitely ahead of the 2 dimensional bridge crew though. Trolls that bodyshame others are a lower life form. Where is this? When a show blankets the airwaves with hugs and confessionals and cheering it tends to make any subtler moments stand out far less, but this is also not a subtle show to begin with.

No it says a lot about the incredibly dangerous message she is sending. I for one have always had to watch my weight and I still wage the battle to this day. PS. Its sci-fi, brah. 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. I mean, there could have been but it was never seen or talked about. Would a woman watching this aspire to be a Tilly or aspire to be a Dax, Kira or Janeway?

Mary Wiseman claims that she wants to inspire all the curvy women around the world with her Star Trek weight gain story. But the show almost seems to go out of its way every season for some of the dumbest story points you can think of. IMHO, if she usually eats well, trains and commits to staying healthy, then life can be a lot of fun leading an active adventurous life while still enjoying food and fine dining and it is irrelevant what people say about her looks. In CanadaDiscoveryis broadcast on CTV Sci-Fi Channel and streams on Crave.

And now, with only three years under her belt in the field, only two of which were as a ranked officer, they think shes somehow ready to train the next generation of recruits?! Yes, she was a therapist that say patients in her office but her betazoid abilities aided Picard. Other ships having counselors in the TNG era was mentioned. Star Trek: Discovery actor Mary Wiseman has a - Daily Star Trek News Mary's fans are curious to know if she is indeed expecting a little one but the rumors are false. Im reaally hoping season 4 will be smoother, Im holding thumbs here. Agreed. Thats the whole point why they wanted HER to teach at the newly formed Academy They wanted someone with the original 23rd century optimism and enthusiasm I share that notion a lot And yeah, Im glad Starfleet doesnt work like actual military, And no, S3 was not stupidity. Thematic darkness is fine but graphic visuals arent. What a surprise. Is her awkwardness all that different from Ezri on DS9? Well, its certainly a good thing that Tilly is a fictional character, and neither she nor the woman who plays her (Wiseman) is in todays real-world Navy.. So sayeth Scotty, the contrarian. 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? Star Trek Tilly Weight Gain: Mary Wiseman Weight Gain - Is She Married Tilly got fat, that is inexcusable. Yes! Good points. She only graduated from SA herself at the end of season 1. They seemed to only be limited by what that particular script called for that week. Shes a geeky, nerdy character, so wonderfully over the top, like so many of us in the fandom. She is super meta. Is Tilly leaving 'Discovery'? Star Trek star explains that shocking I would prefer to finish the rest of Prodigy first season instead. It was a good perspective in S1, and lines up with Star Trek values. I like me. Has Tilly body-shaming outside of the Twitter imbeciles been a thing? Star Trek: Discovery currently streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. I think criticism of the actors is wrong as well, its not about the actors its what they have been told deliver. Somehow these insecure people feel others not like them are a threat to how they see themselves and how the world should, in their opinion, be. Its so brutal. Its 2020 and were taking any more of your sh!t. And more importantly, were back to exploring both the prime universe and 24th century again we havent done since Voyagers final season, which was 20 years ago this year! I dont think youre ready for that kind of interaction, online, or anywhere else. [laughs] Everybody loves Tilly. Im sure nearly everyone of the crew of TNG had issues and problems. However, if we got to see Tilly gradually improve herself. Tilly is Trekdom. While Im excited to get back to the 32nd century and see whats changed since season 3 Im still not excited for the season itself. The journey to discovering Tilly, the rescue puppy that would change our lives, began before she was even born. Contents 1 Early life 2 Starfleet career 2.1 USS Discovery 2.1.1 The war 2.1.2 Post-war 2.1.3 32nd century 3 Personal relationships 3.1 Friendships These are not well-written or well-acted characters, and they weaken the series every time they show up. Tillys character arc was mishandled once they realized Mary Wiseman was cast (Marys a decade or more older than Tilly). 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. Although the last TNG with Trois mom wasnt terrible. My only issue with Captain Killy is that she died that wonderful red hair blonde. See more at the Paley Center for Media Arts' Star Trek: Discovery Fight for the Future exhibit in Los Angeles, now through July 7th. No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. Even 1,000 years into the future, Burham cannotoh well, that is a different story for a different post. 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. 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. Anyway, another Discovery-ism, amongst the many other weird decisions on this show. The writers may love the character, but they also appreciate that the actor is a real person who might want variety in their career. Youre saying she isnt believeable because she sounds like she has a 21st century *accent*? While not getting specific about if or where we will see Tilly again, Wiseman also hinted the finale was not the end of her story: Tilly is not somebody who lets people leave her life. But I really do like Book a lot! It would definitely be great if Rhys was promoted to first officer. The character. Nice girl but still jostling with Burnham as the most annoying character on the show. Did Tilly on Discovery gain weight? It doesnt look like unhealthy curvy but just different type of genes. Why does the therapist appear to outrank the CMO? I find her character interesting, but inconsistent. For someone who is supposed to care about others, shes been remarkably stuck in her own emotions. Why is that a command level position? I agree, the writing, character development, and story telling needs to improve. Internationally, the series is available on Paramount+ in Australia, Latin America and the Nordics, and on Pluto TV in Austria, France, Germany . I let go of my preconceptions about what star trek is. Yes, The Expanse. Star Trek is supposed to be socially progressive but this show went too far. And I want to take care of me so I can continue to be me. :). The entire point of Tillys character is that shes a Starfleet officer that doesnt have to be a supermodel like so many Trek characters before: Troi, Seven, TPol, Jadzia perfect golden cut supermodels. And I felt that was ridiculous. 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. ;). Theyre losers, pure and simple. The accent is too colloquial. The Relaunch Litverse books for DS9 are uneven in my reading experience as compared to the TNG and the Voyager books once Beyer took over. 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. | March 22, 2022 | Most actresses on TV, if theyre 58 probably weigh 120# or less. In season three Tilly was first officer and then acting captain; how does all of that affect who she is in season four? Many smoke to keep the weight off. She brings so much heart to the show. After all, it DOES seem as though Tilly is gone from the crew for the time being. Tillys journey has helped me over the last few years. Its gotten very stale now. Sick and tired of T and A being the main focus. And no one in their right mind would play poker with her. 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. Its very likely shell be on the Star Fleet Academy show if she continues as a regular/recurring character on a Trek show. Mary Wiseman is confirmed to return as Sylvia Tilly in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, although whether she rejoins the crew or continues at Starfleet Academy and only interjects occasionally remains unknown. Have you ever read those? So. Samarkand? Happy to have your wit, enthusiasm, & talent as part of the franchise. Wasnt it Saru who made Tilly the First Officer? ;). My point was Why does the ships therapist have a bridge station? I could watch Tilly all day! I like the way you think! I hope Mary Wiseman is okay or has a good reason for her weight gain since S1. But its the elephant we have in the room, these days. I think Saru holds out as being the most consistent, and Tilly is close, but not quite. So I think we pick up with her after some time has passed since the events of that season, but shes still sort of not really sure what to make of it, and everything that used to be really comfortable isnt sitting as comfortably as it used to if that makes sense. Weve seen Captain Killy, so what does Mirror Universe Book look like? 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.
