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. As a Black girl, I felt I was supposed to look this way. It took me 3 seasons just to remember all their names. Anyway it was just a thought. I actually had an entire epic story mapped out that I was seriously considering turning into a series of novels. And a. Lwaxana Troi, Tilly is frankly nowhere near as annoying as those other characters. Way too many issues. Some folks here like this nu trek because it lowered standards to make them feel better about themselves. Thats the thing about DSC. Mary's fans are curious to know if she is indeed expecting a little one but the rumors are false.

Please dont ban me!). But Im just happy we are talking about Voyager again, especially since this show is basically a spin off of it! 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.

Actually, the production team is not helping either. Tilly is the most human member of the crew. Heaven forefend women feel good about themselves! All are different. If anything is being celebrated, or, at the very least, encouraged, its simple human decency and not judging people by physical attributes alone. Star Trek: Discovery actor Mary Wiseman has a - Daily Star Trek News Waste of talent. I am a therapist in real life, and even *I* think it was crazy that they had a therapist on the bridge. I agree! I keep hearing the word heartthats the poorest excuse yet. That does so much emotional damage to a personbut it also says a lot about those doing the body-shaming. Im relieved to say I have no idea how that feels, and its something I cant even stomach thinking about, frankly. 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.

Tillys anxiety got old real fast. should take a pear of pruning shears and cut off that little pecker of yours (its what Killy would do). It is not others right to tell someone how their body should be that sort of thing was done with slaves. Mary Wiseman. Although the last TNG with Trois mom wasnt terrible. Therefore, I love her. She gets up in the morning and lives with a purpose, helping her crewmates, and ready to make the ultimate sacrifice if necessary. Im reaally hoping season 4 will be smoother, Im holding thumbs here. Everybody loves Tilly. Except the writers of course. GD, what shoes is David wearing in those pics? Its not celebrating obesity to say that her body is her business and nobody elses.

Plus, TNG literally had a therapist as part of the bridge crew. I have nothing against Mary Wiseman. I just dont remember if it was something I read years ago or if it was in an interview with Gene. Tillys great contribution is that shes NOT that sort of superwoman most people can never be. Tilly and Me - Star Trek It is not OK to be overweight.

Definitely a character created for the TikTok generation to like.. high five, hugs and ditziness with lots of over emotional feelings on display. The writing for him is trying in season 1, but from Samaritan Snare onwards I actually think hes kinda endearing and has decent utility. David Ajala: Yeah, absolutely. You are correct, it comes down to the same thing, poor plot development. Do I want to be Barclay or Harry Kim?
