It's mostly the super-hero genre where you see this. Tillys great contribution is that shes NOT that sort of superwoman most people can never be. However, even if the Academy series moves forward, it likely wouldnt go into production in 2022 or even 2023, leaving plenty of time for Tilly to appear in season five of Discovery. Agree. My preference would be to set it post TUC but quite frankly any other established era would be fine. I do not endorse body-shaming in any way, as I was bullied as a kid years ago. Mary Wiseman: I wish there maybe in the future theres room for some protective best friend/boyfriend energy. 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. Shes changed.

Given all the trouble the crew got into, Im sure they needed one on the ship. I dont think Tilly is ruined. However, with the successive changes in show runners the coherence of Burnhams development has been lost. Thanks for the correction and yes that is correct. Why did they do that? 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. 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. Thats undeniable. Her character, Sylvia Tilly, has had plenty of opportunities to shine without giving anything away, and Wiseman has risen to the occasion. Tilly is Trekdom. Her character Tilly is not my favorite on the show but body shaming is a shameful act by itself. Sonequa Martin-Green in Unification III, Co-showrunner Michelle Paradise shared some behind-the-scenes photos from Terra Firma, Part 2.. I see other people mentioning the books on Reddit and Youtube because of the new show obviously. Between 2011 through 2015, she attended Juilliard School's Drama Division, where one of her students was future Star Trek: Discovery actress Mary Chieffo. I never felt that what has come before should define the franchise in the future. Im proud to be here and I am proud to wear my skin-tight costume and proud of my body. I echo your sentiments exactly, David. Season four of Star Trek: Discovery arrives on Thursday, November 18 on Paramount+. Yes but Star Trek shouldnt be about lazy writing, poor character development and bad storytelling. This time, even if I wanted that, my body said: no were going to take some time here, we need to heal. And so, I find myself in this bigger, fuller body and it made me appreciate where I was before.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. All are different. The writers may love the character, but they also appreciate that the actor is a real person who might want variety in their career. Should the nice girl get off your lawn? None of those thinks make a lick of sense. Mary shouldnt listen to the haters and Sonequa, I never noticed she looked any different than she did before, body wise. Thats kind of what I was playing with. And so she will be part of this universe and this world for many years to come. I think people need that kind of thing to heal. I would expect more from the Star Trek crowd, which is usually quite enlightened. I hate the body shaming of actresses Theres recently was yet another fanboy arse-hat bloger who on their twitter account made an unkind comment about Mary/Tilly regarding her weight. DSC has a wonderful cast and a neat diverse set of characters. It feels too 21st century specific as does Tillys. Michelle Yeoh, considerably smaller in physical stature, probably weighs around 90# [because she is allll muscle]. You always come up with weird posts VS this one is weirder than usual Im afraid to say. Its very possible Mary Wiseman wanted off the show, or needed a bit of a break. Tilly is a Harry Kim, Wesley Crusher, Travis Mayweather sort of character at least for me. But respect is always earned and never enforceable. In her interview with TrekMovie last week, Discovery co-showrunner Michelle Paradise echoed these sentiments: Well never be done with Tilly. Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 May Be Coming Soon, According To Wilson Cruz [UPDATED], Podcast: All Access Scans For All The Latest Star Trek Universe News, Star Trek Lower Decks Nominated For Annie Award; Discovery For NAACP And GLAAD Awards, http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/trekmovie.com/podcast-player/97519/all-access-picard-episode-303-seventeen-seconds-review-discovery-ending-future-of-star-trek-discussion.mp3, http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/trekmovie.com/podcast-player/97356/shuttle-pod-113-star-trek-picard-season-3-chat-on-the-next-generation-disengage.mp3, http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/trekmovie.com/podcast-player/97216/all-access-review-of-star-trek-picard-episode-302-disengage.mp3, http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/trekmovie.com/podcast-player/96813/all-access-review-of-star-trek-picard-episode-301-the-next-generation.mp3, http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/trekmovie.com/podcast-player/96521/all-access-suplimental-john-billingsley-interview.mp3. Personally I would put Barclay and Trois Mom in that group too, but not sure recurring characters belong with regulars in this race. And it could fit nicely with Chakotays story on the show and that hes also in the DQ for the mission and now has to find the ship. Maybe its just me, but I dont really care about women or mens weight on TV shows, I dont care for negative comments on them by haters, but neither do I care for the actors/actresses making such a whiney big deal about it. Even though she's still in the final season of Starfleet Aacademy studies She was assigned to the USS Discovery to get some practical experience. A person who we see strive to make themselves a better person. 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. And others opinions dont factor in. Fans need to stop being rude and act like gentlemen for once. Sense of morals. How blandly Puritan. Some folks here like this nu trek because it lowered standards to make them feel better about themselves. Every woman is very beautiful. In this week's episode of Star Trek: Discovery season four, we saw Tilly leaving her crew and heading to the academy in order to foster young minds. As someone with severe and sometimes crippling anxiety whos managed to have a pretty successful high-pressure career, I question your assertion that she never would have graduated Starfleet., You clearly never served in a military environment. No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. Has Tilly body-shaming outside of the Twitter imbeciles been a thing? Hes been very creative in using callbacks and interweaving eras in his own work. But I did not watch DIS S4 either. out of shape for the job shes in and the role she wanted to perform. Being encouraged to eat only what ones body needs is another thing entirely. She was annoying to me, and the crew gave her a lot of leeway. Control over ones own body is the most basic freedom we should have. Biography Thanks for the heads up about Beyer and the Voyager books. DS9 Avatar books 1 and 2 were quite good and helpfully kicked off the DS9 Relaunch sequence.

What? She is super meta. I hope were able to explore it because theres potential for great levity, but then also really important conversations to be had because when you care about someone you dont want to see them go through pain, and I can see completely how Tilly will be very protective of Michael Burnham. Finally, Starfleet isn't a military organisation or an army. I recall when Trek featured a French captain with an English accent. In fact, it says far more about the body-shamers than it does about those being body-shamed. Btw, I really liked the scene of Tilly and Burnham running back in S1 and eating protein, carbs and fat post workout. Development for the fifth season of Discovery is well underway, with production expected to begin in June. But the characters are pitch perfect. Internationally, the series is available on Paramount+ in Australia, Latin America and the Nordics, and on Pluto TV in Austria, France, Germany . When I was around 12 I used to eat peanut butter and drink Ensure, a meal replacement drink, before I went to sleep. She never wouldve made it through the Academy. Although criticism of a performance is valid (Burnhams whispering, over emoting etc.) Those b@stards, however, totally killed Landry )Cuddles with @actordougjones and @davbentom These men are nothing short of hereoic in prosthetics all day e'reday. 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. The only thing she is qualified for at Starfleet Academy is as a 23rd century specialist. It is not OK to be overweight. I'm finding Star Trek Discovery to be incredibly dull and childish. I would imagine those who liked Barclay probably include a large portion of those who like Tilly. Was that really a Betazoid characteristic or was she just reading faces and gestures? New episodes of Star Trek: Discovery premiere on Thursdays on CBS All Access in the U.S. and on CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada, where it's also available to stream on Crave. Mary Wiseman as Tilly in episode 402, Anomaly. 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. Wasnt it Saru who made Tilly the First Officer? Its her, Adira, Stamets, and Reno who are the really hard science people. ;). 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 Youve got to hand it to Harry Kim. Mary Wiseman: That experience affects her so much this season. Shes a geeky, nerdy character, so wonderfully over the top, like so many of us in the fandom. Just mentioning few of their values. She seems to be a lovely human being and all that in real life but her acting is not the best. It makes sense there would be and that they be a part of the medical team. American actress Mary Wiseman was born on July 30, 1985. Shes fantastic and looks fantastic doing it! The Enterprise D was the only place we saw a councelor. He was a cool character and one of the best things about season 3. "Hope springs eternal" was the central thesis for Star Trek: Discovery's Season 4 finale . Its shall we say very variable. No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. I cant stand any sentence (especially related to DSC) which starts off with Everybody loves Its never true. I agree! Right!? Smart doesnt mean competent. And its funny that you bring up needing constant therapy as a bad thing when a ton of real life people see a therapist on a regular basis. Shes beyond perfect with her line delivery. TrekMovie.com is not endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with CBS Studios Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp. or the Star Trek franchise. I dont love her the way I love Saru or Pike, or Janeway or Seven or Picard or Spock. Thematic darkness is fine but graphic visuals arent. the only one worth saving.. quite possibly the most irritating character in Trek history. Not with DSC, not with ANYTHING. It was the fall of 2017 and my non-Trekkie wife, Lisa, had begrudgingly agreed to watch Star Trek: Discovery with me, having heard me talk nonstop about how excited I was for Trek's return to TV.We were on the third episode, "Context is for Kings," when she appeared. Barclay was funny and silly but relatable due to his social anxiety. It took me 3 seasons just to remember all their names. They should have tried to make Tilly more credible first. Of course my original statement still stands regarding Tilly becoming Sarus Number One. At New York Comic Con, TrekMovie participated in some group interviews with members of the cast and crew,. I didnt like Reed from Enterprise, does that make me a troll? Since season one, Tilly (Mary Wiseman). I agree, in fairness Barclay was relatable in many ways, socially awkward but not too overplayed. I LOVE the future! It is incredibly bad and is a publicly dangerous message to be sending. Two Kelpians and a Disco Kenny (Zero Kelpians were harmed during this shoot. David Ajala: Yeah, absolutely. You are always very insightful. This sounds kind of racist. In the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode, Sylvia Tilly ( Mary Wiseman) was tasked with . I mean, it was just so fun! Though frankly, I find people like her generally seem more aware of their overall health and fitness than people who try to fit others images. Weve seen Captain Killy, so what does Mirror Universe Book look like? That is assuming the this Starfleet Academy show is set in the 32nd century. Its all pretty subjective. Its not SMGs fault of course, its just the way she has be written throughout the series. I agree 100%. In season one and early season two, I was finding it credible as a case of someone who had unresolved PTSD and was unmoored from the culture that had encouraged her to supress her trauma. Thats a crumpet I want to butter. [laughter], David Ajala as Book and Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael in episode 401 Kobayashi Maru. The laughing, alone, is far more damaging and shameful and disgusting and disrespectful than obesity itself. My point is, a lot of the shamers are probably ashamed of themselves for being overweight and project it onto others. Rumors started when some problematic fans of Star Trek Discovery found out that she gained a few pounds between the seasons. This is a part of the reason people cant take to them, alongside their poorly written characters. This post (handouts bad habits yada yada yada) is your latest misogny, homophobia and white supremacy , and I am sick and tired of it. Ive never liked Tilly. 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. I for one have always had to watch my weight and I still wage the battle to this day. In fact most iterations of Trek the actors have provided a neutral delivery of their native accent. In general, the Litverse kicks off with the TNG A Time to series that fills in events between the movies Insurrection and Nemesis. You can absolutely argue that DISCO incorporates too much emotion with their characters (something I agree with to an extent), but I do appreciate how much more real these characters feel compared to past characters (especially in the early seasons of TNG). But the show almost seems to go out of its way every season for some of the dumbest story points you can think of. Sonequa, Their characters are fantastic as are all the others. And now, with only three years under her belt in the field, From future Starfleets POV, thats 900 years! Discovery may have just said goodbye to one of its crew, but don't worry: She'll be back. Im sorry but what youve described about Tilly is like something out of a Nickelodeon teen high school drama. Did Tilly on Discovery gain weight? 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. 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! No probably not. You mentioned that the rest of world laughs at America because of obesity. Where I live people compete on the merits and are proud of their professional or intellectual achievements not their bad habits, bad health or even born with attributes such as divergent sexual orientation that they had no influence over whatsoever. That promise was fulfilled in last weeks season finale, and Wiseman is talking about her return. Agreed. To even suggest that is stupidity writ large. . But Im just happy we are talking about Voyager again, especially since this show is basically a spin off of it! Take me to the stars and tell me a story. Any accent would be acceptable for a time that hasnt happened yet. Miss Wiseman F those fake Trekkies/Treksters keep acting your ass off. I assume my feelings towards them are what Wesley-haters endure. And how and how would your abilities be used in the Mirror Universe? Eh, only in some particular parts of the internet. Maybe Saru wont be on the ship as much but Im guessing they are going the same direction. Its not celebrating obesity to say that her body is her business and nobody elses. From what Ive read, having her on the bridge because of her betazed abilities was what Roddenberry had in mind. David Ajala: What about Grudge in the mirror universe? The show had its official opening on Monday, March 21st, and is currently set to run through April 24. The actors are not slaves to the fans or public opinion. And if people are critical of her because her appearance does not meet their expectations, they dont really have a clue of what Star Trek is all about. So her appearances ended up not being 100% awful. Sincerely, obesity is defined in terms of the proportion of body fat associated higher risk of illness. I just hope now that she has been made captain, all her baggage will be finally gone. Tilly appears twice in the Star Trek: Discovery season 5 trailer. WTF this is why Ive been following Star Trek since the original in 1967 when I saw Nichelle Nichols. Just grow up and ignore the random internet comments you are elevating the drama of this internet troll thing by talking about it. Hahahaha! It seems like people like her say: this is me. Nibiru? 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. Definitely a character created for the TikTok generation to like.. high five, hugs and ditziness with lots of over emotional feelings on display. This is not a good show and not a good Star Trek Show too. To be honest I think she is more attractive than the mostly skinny cast of most series. Tilly is part Wesley Crusher and part Barclay. No, from Starfleets POV its 3 years. I could watch Tilly all day! And it all happened OFF SCREEN! She hasnt mentored anyone except in one episode. Mary Wiseman: That that could be a very powerful person in the Mirror Universe. It just happened. For people who dont know, it had to do with Voyager leading a fleet of ships going back to the Delta Quadrant a few years after Voyager arrived home. 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. 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. David Ajala: Yeah. Thank you for your counter opinion. In the season four finale Coming Home, Mary Wiseman returned as Lt. Tilly, now a Starfleet Academy leader working with cadets and Admiral Vance to coordinate the evacuation and defense of Earth on Federation HQ. They basically wrote her off the show! So many jerks in this world, its good to see decent people. I keep hearing the word heartthats the poorest excuse yet. TrekMovie.com is not endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with CBS Studios Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp. or the Star Trek franchise. Me thinks that your issue is not that fans of nu trek are pandered to to feel better about themselves. I realized that unless I wanted to deal with health issues like hypertension, diabetes and other medical ailments, I would have to eat less and less as I got older and older. Funny enough, I have never had a problem with Wesley. I hope Mary Wiseman is okay or has a good reason for her weight gain since S1. But dont those characteristics fit better on a younger character, while the older one grows up and changes? And thats a healthy outlook. There are still things that bother me about the new trek too. After all, it DOES seem as though Tilly is gone from the crew for the time being. Ive finally had the chance to reply to your comment about Lue Elizondo etc on the other thread. After they wrote her to be the most annoying person possible. 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. But was it not made pretty clear that Counselors had become a regular thing on command crews in the TNG era? I do find their quirks annoying at times, but the most important reason I like them is because theyre honest, kind people with a good heart. And to be honest, she never really helped him out all that much. Jake is about 45-50 and one of the two lead characters.
