GD, what shoes is David wearing in those pics? David Ajala: Ive never thought about that. 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. Hopefully its . Plenty of curvy ladies are quite healthy and active. In fact most of their fears and phobias were explored in various episodes. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Her character, Sylvia Tilly, has had plenty of opportunities to shine without giving anything away, and Wiseman has risen to the occasion. Sonequa is by all accounts probably the best or one of the best chef de compagnie of all the Trek series. She is perhaps, the most human character on the show. 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. Tilly is a Harry Kim, Wesley Crusher, Travis Mayweather sort of character at least for me. I for one have always had to watch my weight and I still wage the battle to this day. I mean, there could have been but it was never seen or talked about. In large part that is down to getting set in my ways with this franchise, so I have to temper my critiques with that knowledge. That does so much emotional damage to a personbut it also says a lot about those doing the body-shaming. 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. Just more pandering. The reason why Troi was on the bridge all the timewas that she was a betazoid. Story: With . But I did not watch DIS S4 either. Its been sooo inconsistent from day one. Youre saying she isnt believeable because she sounds like she has a 21st century *accent*? Janeway is bridge crew, of course she was coming back! This is not a good show and not a good Star Trek Show too. 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. You know, like a psychotic murderer? Probably some admirals cousin. Understanding? But the characters are pitch perfect. Background information.

There really are some of the DS9 authors that are stronger and some that tend to tell too much and show to little in their writing in my view. And so she will be part of this universe and this world for many years to come. I would imagine those who liked Barclay probably include a large portion of those who like Tilly. the only one worth saving.. quite possibly the most irritating character in Trek history. Ive re-learned through life experiences how to stop and smell the roses again you might say, among other things. He was non-military, the same height as me, and easily weighed 300#. It makes sense there would be and that they be a part of the medical team. So, although he does the occasional guest star role in other shows produced in Canada, he could take on a larger role on Discovery. Tilly looks great and her weight is a not a issue. Any accent would be acceptable for a time that hasnt happened yet. I agree, the writing, character development, and story telling needs to improve. Ive finally had the chance to reply to your comment about Lue Elizondo etc on the other thread. Bad writing, illogical story arcs, unbalanced tempo, underdeveloped characters or sudden jumps in character development. And I just let the writers take me on a journey. 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. Since season one, Tilly (Mary Wiseman). I hope that Wiseman uses that info into the future because it does work for fat burning and muscle building.. For someone who is supposed to care about others, shes been remarkably stuck in her own emotions. Book is Han Solo. 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. And, in that sense, it is okay to be used as it was above. Internationally, the series is available on Paramount+ in Australia, Latin America and the Nordics, and on Pluto TV in Austria, France, Germany . Just when it looks like the character has finally grown as a person and doing her own thing, comes right back. I define me. And for your own gain, right? Ive read plenty of well-deserved criticism of the writing but to my knowledge, there has been no widespread criticism of STD acting or physical appearances. I keep hearing the word heartthats the poorest excuse yet. The ships shrink should not be a Command level position and in fact would make sense to be on the CMOs staff. 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. 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. I want to really like Discovery, I do. I dont see a repeated notion that DISCO saved Trek by heavily incorporating emotion into their characters. The mirror Tilly and the ISS Discovery appear in the "Mirror of Discovery" storyline in Star Trek Online, as part of the game's 9th anniversary in January 2019; she is voiced by Mary Wiseman, who also . Im sure many may NOT be a Janeway but could at least look at her and say thats what I aspire to be. I am a therapist in real life, and even *I* think it was crazy that they had a therapist on the bridge. I hope that Wiseman uses that info into the future because it does work for fat burning and muscle building.. Anyway, another Discovery-ism, amongst the many other weird decisions on this show. I guess some people would rather the perfect people of TNG than anyone that mirrors back anything they dont want to see in themselves. It doesnt matter either way but with so much Voyager mythology created in those novels, it would be cool to see some of it translated on this show! But to play the Devils Advocate here for a moment Tilly as she was originally presented and continued to be for quite some time is not something most women would aspire to be I should think. I think the ship can handle a little chonk. In fact most iterations of Trek the actors have provided a neutral delivery of their native accent. 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. Way too many issues. Shes a little overweighed, so what? That is assuming the this Starfleet Academy show is set in the 32nd century. Theyre losers, pure and simple. If they wont act a woman should take a pear of pruning shears and cut off that little pecker of yours (its what Killy would do). Not everyone is skinny and not everyone likes skinny. She was annoying to me, and the crew gave her a lot of leeway. She only graduated from SA herself at the end of season 1. I also know hes basically your favorite Trek author. Proceed accordingly. 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. Shes beyond perfect with her line delivery. Control over ones own body is the most basic freedom we should have. The message she is sending how? Do I want to be Sisko or Picard or Archer then most likely yes. The show will roll out on Paramount Plus in the US, and is expected to stream on Netflix elsewhere. Everybody does NOT love Tilly. I wasnt complaining there were therapists on board. Promoting her to the first officer was stupid enough, but now shes leading at the Academy? If Tilly needed to pick up a phaser or be physically active then that means the Discovery is in some serious shit, with it either having been boarded and their entire security personnel neutralised, or with Tilly separated from the ship, most like due to its destruction. It doesnt look like unhealthy curvy but just different type of genes. It just happened. 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. You mean that I can find myself a BBW in the 32nd Century? Star Trek: Discovery streams exclusively on CBS All Access in the United States and is distributed concurrently by CBS Studios . I have to agree. But my point was that she rarely conveyed anything useful or something that was not already obvious to all. I cant spoil anything into season five, except to say that we love Tilly. Tilly (Mary Wiseman) leads the stranded Starfleet cadets to safety. Fortunately, more than 30 years ago I was encouraged to focus on the health aspects of eating well and training hard and not the aesthetics. If we dont have tolerance and respect, how are we able to learn and improve humanity!? 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. After all, it DOES seem as though Tilly is gone from the crew for the time being.
