Mary Wiseman said in an interview after her departing episode that she'd be back before the end of the season. There have been moments where they tried to do that, but like everything else on Discovery where self-doubt and emotional scenes of worry in darkly-lit rooms need to be front and center, they always seemed to bring Tilly back to spazzing out because she was nervous about whether she can do it before being put on a mission. Mary Wiseman: Right, when you use empathy for evil, its manipulation. Loved that show, so did my wife. 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: That was a really good teaser. What I should point out though is that Mack earned the moniker Angel of Death among the Litverse fans. No it says a lot about the incredibly dangerous message she is sending. She is a real girl. But I really do like Book a lot! Patrick Kwok-Choon is the only one of the bridge officers that doesnt have another regular acting or producer/director role. It is also available on Netflix in 190 countries around the world. Sense of morals. How blandly Puritan. Jury still out on Books character.definitely ahead of the 2 dimensional bridge crew though. Im not counting on it. 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. In the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode, Sylvia Tilly ( Mary Wiseman) was tasked with . In fact, it says far more about the body-shamers than it does about those being body-shamed. 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.. But of course this being Star Trek they SPOILER ALERT bring her back to life! Tillys anxiety got old real fast. I dont think youre ready for that kind of interaction, online, or anywhere else. And over the last couple of years, so have I. Im still not fond of the gory, violent Klingon business of the first couple of seasons, but I slowly began to see DISCO anew. He was competing in show jumping events with his horses until at least his 70s. And doesnt that just make the point about the difference between fitness and apparent chunkiness or curveyness. Her body shape is fabulousshe is gorgeous. It took this for me to finally accept who I am.

Abrams Talks Compelling Story For Star Trek 4; Chris Pine Expresses Frustration Over Wait, I hope Mary Wiseman is okay or has a good reason for her weight gain since S1. I agree, the writing, character development, and story telling needs to improve. So sayeth Scotty, the contrarian. If anything is being celebrated, or, at the very least, encouraged, its simple human decency and not judging people by physical attributes alone. Thank you, Trek Movie Staff, for sharing my interview with your readers and providing a link to Forbes.com! These are not well-written or well-acted characters, and they weaken the series every time they show up. Please dont ban me!). I am a therapist in real life, and even *I* think it was crazy that they had a therapist on the bridge. This is a part of the reason people cant take to them, alongside their poorly written characters.

I dont see a repeated notion that DISCO saved Trek by heavily incorporating emotion into their characters. 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). I think Saru will just be the surrogate first officer again although he is now a captain. 108 comments so far. Tilly looks great and her weight is a not a issue. DSC had many issues at the beginning. The accent is too colloquial. I understand the actress is very well-respected and a nice person, but I couldnt stand the Tilly character myself. 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. I define me. Story: With . I just dont remember if it was something I read years ago or if it was in an interview with Gene. Tilly is not a perfect officer. :). Make better choices. And tons dont. Her character Tilly is not my favorite on the show but body shaming is a shameful act by itself. I wonder what the advertisers behind this site think of posts like this. I echo your sentiments exactly, David. The writers may love the character, but they also appreciate that the actor is a real person who might want variety in their career. She strikes me as no different than Barkley. Learning? Ill never forget when I, a woman of 160# at 58, healthy, deemed fit by military and bodyfat percentage indexes, approached the Credit Union one day, when the guy at the ATM finished his transaction, turned, saw me, and yelled Hey, fatass!. The fourth episode of the new season of Star Trek: Discovery ("All is Possible") arrived this morning and it has fans buzzing about Lt. Sylvia Tilly. Originally I imagined him as Denzel Washington or Blair Underwood, but after belatedly watching The Wire and Luther I think Idris Elba would be a really good match. Just mentioning few of their values. 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. Shes a geeky, nerdy character, so wonderfully over the top, like so many of us in the fandom. And if youre able to use that against someone, that could be very, very dangerous. 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. I would encourage her to do the same. A statistical average does not justify shaming or ridiculing anyone. The only thing she is qualified for at Starfleet Academy is as a 23rd century specialist. That was an awfully fast turnaround. Keep up the great work ladies! Correct me if I am wrong, but did she not have to take a command course at some point? It really doesnt fit in the century they are in. I just hope now that she has been made captain, all her baggage will be finally gone. Development for the fifth season of Discovery is well underway, with production expected to begin in June. Im reaally hoping season 4 will be smoother, Im holding thumbs here. Most actresses on TV, if theyre 58 probably weigh 120# or less. Neither were annoying. Unless you want to count Ezri Dax she was a therapist but I dont believe she heald a high ranking command position. I wanted to be bigger and I spent much of my childhood, adolescence and even into my young adulthood doing all kinds of things to get bigger. She laughs at the memory. :P (I know the whole thing of having a *ships* councilor is inherently different from what real therapists do on dry land, but yeah its super weird. 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. Its been sooo inconsistent from day one. But the show almost seems to go out of its way every season for some of the dumbest story points you can think of. Of course my original statement still stands regarding Tilly becoming Sarus Number One. 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. Trolls that bodyshame others are a lower life form. 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. I want to really like Discovery, I do. Thank you for your counter opinion. But was it not made pretty clear that Counselors had become a regular thing on command crews in the TNG era? They made an insensitive statement about her body and called her a promoter of an unhealthy lifestyle. Miss Wiseman F those fake Trekkies/Treksters keep acting your ass off. This show has been for a niche of Trek fandom not the mainstream. I just wonder if maybe they are adapting the basic idea to what we are seeing in Prodigy since the Protostar couldve been part of the Full Circle program and was sent back to the DQ for a specific mission? 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. 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. Btw have you come across any good DS9 books about what happened to Sisko or the rest of the crew after the finale? Such use is more overt in DISCO, but it is by no means out of the ordinary. I think that in a world thats so repressed and violent, violence becomes these peoples only outlet for pleasure and release. Way too many issues. I dont read the same type of criticism for their male actors. Wait I havent watched season 4, nor will I ever after the stupidity that was season 3 But now shes a leader at the academy?! Its sci-fi, brah. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. Mary Wiseman is a good actress but even with that, if Star Trek Discovery was shot in 80s or 90s producers would probably force her to go on a diet or even fire her. Youre perfect as you are. The journey to discovering Tilly, the rescue puppy that would change our lives, began before she was even born. And so she will be part of this universe and this world for many years to come. Plenty of curvy ladies are quite healthy and active. Everybody does NOT love Tilly. Lwaxana sometimes I dont mind her simply because she puts Picard and Odo on their back feet, but she was very OTT on shows that didnt really have a lot of OTT characters, and there was little reason for her to keep appearing on DS9 beyond reverence towards Majel Barrett. Barclay was funny and silly but relatable due to his social anxiety. It's mostly the super-hero genre where you see this. | November 13, 2021 | Only showing up for briefings when that specialty was needed for that particular situation. And, in that sense, it is okay to be used as it was above. Agree. Its gotten very stale now. Weve seen a lot of big men in Star Trek but no big girls. :-), What, you mean you dont follow your patients around at work, giving suggestions? Hey writers room go back to TNG and see how a child became an honourary bridge officer on the Enterprise D. (something equally puzzling to say the least) Picard did it because the Traveller who could traverse space time and see the future and past told Picard it was extremely important to encourage the boy. My point is, a lot of the shamers are probably ashamed of themselves for being overweight and project it onto others. Mary Wiseman: That experience affects her so much this season. In fact this is Discoverys success is showing human emotion as another frontier to cross because it is in fact the major component in value choices and decisions that are an unrecognized part of strategic and political decisions as per our many current political divides in US. I would prefer to finish the rest of Prodigy first season instead. Internationally, the series is available on Paramount+ in Australia, Latin America and the Nordics, and on Pluto TV in Austria, France, Germany . Like a lot of people, she pivoted and found herself in a new role as teacher. This modern trend of celebrating obesity is what is wrong with American society, and is another reason why the rest of the world laughs at America. Episodes will be. Although they didnt really use secondary characters wellthey still dont. Her empathic abilities work via viewscreens? Tilly appears twice in the Star Trek: Discovery season 5 trailer. Like maybe he would be way too codependent or something? She gets up in the morning and lives with a purpose, helping her crewmates, and ready to make the ultimate sacrifice if necessary. Keep up the great work ladies! 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. Or are you only a troll if you criticize something about Discovery? Heck I think it was more unrealistic when some chick was upset he wasn't ready for sex. So her appearances ended up not being 100% awful. Funny enough, I have never had a problem with Wesley. From the next episode on season 3 which was at least okay up to that point started to completely fall apart. Watch as SFX makeup transforms Doug Jones into Saru for Star Trek: Discovery. David Ajala: Yeah, absolutely. Great interview, Dawn. Theres a little Harley Quinn. 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. Something happened to Tilly (Wiseman) and Bryce (Rowe). Ive finally had the chance to reply to your comment about Lue Elizondo etc on the other thread. She makes it all look so easy. Thanks for the heads up about Beyer and the Voyager books. David Ajala: I think its made Cleveland Booker even more attracted to Michael Burnham because I think he looks and goes Oh, scrumptious. Thats the thought I had last season, when they had the perfect chance to wirte out Burnam (I believe it was Reunification III or the one after that) and they just didnt follow through at the end. Just when it looks like the character has finally grown as a person and doing her own thing, comes right back. It means something to me. Waste of talent. Happy to have your wit, enthusiasm, & talent as part of the franchise. In every real-life Trekkie community Im a part of, as well as most online, shes loved. However, in the same interview she also talked about how some fans have not been so supportive in season three: I noticed theres definitely been an uptick in body-shaming towards me and Tilly this season, which was harrowing because Im a person, I have a history and bullying is totally a part of that. That promise was. Janeway is bridge crew, of course she was coming back! Tilly is the product of lazy writing and a lazy showrunner. What accent? Two Kelpians and a Disco Kenny (Zero Kelpians were harmed during this shoot. However, if we got to see Tilly gradually improve herself. In fact now I think of it, Book aside everyone has an American accent. And yeah the Full Circle stories do sound a bit depressing especially since SPOILER ALERT they kill off Janeway in them! For me I love how it deals with social logic as well as technology. This is why Discovery is polarising and this is why people four seasons in still dislike Burnham and Tilly as characters. My preference would be to set it post TUC but quite frankly any other established era would be fine. 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. Would a woman watching this aspire to be a Tilly or aspire to be a Dax, Kira or Janeway? Its 2020 and were taking any more of your sh!t. Tilly, played by Mary Wiseman on Star Trek Discovery is not pregnant. The burden is now on SNWThat show can either make or break it with regards to these issues. Come on she looks great. Sylvia Tilly was an ambitious female Human Starfleet officer who lived during the mid- 23rd century. 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. [laughs] Everybody loves Tilly. I basically just know the books that gets discussed or reviewed here. My condolences to you, for your mum. David, has Michael becoming captain changed Books relationship with her? She could of made it what we call General American/mid-Atlantic to neutralize it a little. Andrew: Great, perceptive, thoughtful post! 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. And how and how would your abilities be used in the Mirror Universe? Everyone has their gifts. Like her prime universe counterpart, Tilly was portrayed by Mary Wiseman.. Tilly was presumably killed when the Discovery was destroyed in the prime universe.. Apocrypha. What do you think it looks like? Find more stories on theStar Trek Universe. Mary Wiseman is a beautiful lady as is Sonequa Martin-Green. We want people to get their facts from reliable health sources, not celebrities, so saying actors should be sending some sort of fitness message is just backwards. Mary Wiseman. What a surprise. But Tilly and the nervous mess Adira has devolved into? I know a thing or two about haters-pay no mind. The Tilly we saw as Earth, check that United (eyeroll) Earth was being evacuated is NOT the same Tilly we saw for the previous 40+ episodes.
