I have considered it and rejected it. Mary Wiseman claims that she wants to inspire all the curvy women around the world with her Star Trek weight gain story. Mary Wiseman. Shes a little overweighed, so what? Shes not going anywhere. But its at least nice they came to their senses with that ridiculous story turn (unlike Kirk). In fact, it says far more about the body-shamers than it does about those being body-shamed. And I know Chakotay was also Captain on Voyager in those books as well. Its good to have ALL type of people/stories in our Star Trek Universe. Like a lot of people, she pivoted and found herself in a new role as teacher. Im sure nearly everyone of the crew of TNG had issues and problems. She would have flushed out of SFA in her first year. Just grow up and ignore the random internet comments you are elevating the drama of this internet troll thing by talking about it. No one can argue that Shatner is anything less than fit at whatever age. But one could argue a ship full of Barclays is not the most convincing portrait of humanity. Season 4 sees Sonequa Martin-Green's, Michael Burnham, return with her. My lady, you are so fine that I want to have your baby. Why is that a command level position? Patrick Kwok-Choon is the only one of the bridge officers that doesnt have another regular acting or producer/director role.

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. 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. That promise was fulfilled in last weeks season finale, and Wiseman is talking about her return. No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. Lol. The moment they decided to incorporate a new character with basically the same characteristics (a young, socially awkward, but very smart ensign) they ruined Tilly. Stupid decision to bring her back. And doesnt that just make the point about the difference between fitness and apparent chunkiness or curveyness. There is a wealth of other outlets for health and fitness information, that frankly are more dispassionate and factual than getting health and fitness info from celebrities. Everybody loves Tilly. Except the writers of course. Because Book is someone who doesnt just have cerebral, intellectual intelligence. | March 22, 2022 | She also revealed some of her inspirations for this version of Tilly: There is a little Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender in there. Rather than shaming them or acting like there are only a few kinds of women worth aspiring to be. Obesity and overweight are associated with health chronic issues by definition. Definitely a character created for the TikTok generation to like.. high five, hugs and ditziness with lots of over emotional feelings on display. Shes magnetic. Ive never liked Tilly. Just blows my mind. He was non-military, the same height as me, and easily weighed 300#. Mary's fans are curious to know if she is indeed expecting a little one but the rumors are false. If you read what Mary and Sonequa are saying, they arent promoting any particular body style or fitness choice, just that they are as they are and only they have the right to choose how that should be. Youve got to hand it to Harry Kim. Barclay was another unrealistic character that never shouldve made it in to Starfleet. Neither were annoying. I always have to correct it, so its not terribly efficient. Jerks. Although it is true that on *average*, overweight people are less healthy than other people, it is also entirely possible to be overweight and healthy. Any accent would be acceptable for a time that hasnt happened yet. Actually, the production team is not helping either. And, in that sense, it is okay to be used as it was above. I think that in a world thats so repressed and violent, violence becomes these peoples only outlet for pleasure and release. Mary Wiseman has established herself as a talented actor on Star Trek: Discovery. Just like every other character in a show that generally is badly written. I mean, it was just so fun! TrekMovie.com is not endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with CBS Studios Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp. or the Star Trek franchise. Her body shape is fabulousshe is gorgeous. Just when it looks like the character has finally grown as a person and doing her own thing, comes right back. Its 2020 and were taking any more of your sh!t. Its been a continuing book series since 2009 and still going. Weve seen a lot of big men in Star Trek but no big girls. I see those things and they hurt me because Im a person. Mary Wiseman is a beautiful lady as is Sonequa Martin-Green. The character. Although the last TNG with Trois mom wasnt terrible. In fact now I think of it, Book aside everyone has an American accent. That is why you never saw councelors on any other class ship. The Terra Firma arc introduced the real Mirror Universe version of Tilly (aka Captain Killy). Internationally, the series is available on Paramount+ in Australia, Latin America and the Nordics, and on Pluto TV in Austria, France, Germany . And, yeah, I've also heard a rumor about a potential Starfleet Academy series, and I'm assuming it's being set in the future setting of Discovery. Thats not good writing, its oandering fan fiction, Starfleet is not military. 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. 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. However, we do know that David Mack does. New episodes ofStarTrek: Discoverypremiere on Thursdays onCBS All Accessin the U.S. andonCTV Sci-Fi Channelin Canada, where its also available to stream onCrave. Not sure what the formal CBS/Paramount process is for publishing that kind of stuff, but the story was so detailed that I genuinely wanted to begin looking into it. 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. It included a lot of the old characters too like Chakotay, BElanna, Tuvok with a lot of new characters. Which I think would be a tremendous mistake. 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.

And CBS posted some images of Emperor Georgious quarters on the ISS Discovery. As soon as she was, they should have rewritten Tilly from being a cadet to being a lieutenant or something. Its participation trophy trek. Now if it turns out, Burnham was being influenced by an alien entity or she has been given insight into the future which made it imperative that she rush Tilly into becoming the Number One, then I can accept it. So sayeth Scotty, the contrarian. Everybody does NOT love Tilly. I guess some people would rather the perfect people of TNG than anyone that mirrors back anything they dont want to see in themselves. Episodes will be available on Fridays internationally on Netflix. 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. Good for her, and I love the character! No spoilers in case I ever decide to actually the write the thing, but youd love it as a DS9 fan. I would not say it isnt a valid creative decision to try this approach, especially in an age where we are emphasizing the need for self-care, its just not to my taste. Mary Wiseman: We dont have that many scenes together but theres a lot of tension between us just as actors and personalities. Its very likely shell be on the Star Fleet Academy show if she continues as a regular/recurring character on a Trek show. Events in David Macks two books towards the end of that series ( A Time to Kill and A Time to Heal) have a profound impact throughout the rest of the Litverse. Background information. But of course this being Star Trek they SPOILER ALERT bring her back to life! I dont think Tilly is ruined. Age is affecting my memory haha. Its just lazy writing. She is relatable and human and wonderful. 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. No one can be expected to sugarcoat reality for you, and your attitude to people who dont is very indicative that you need someone to help you with that. Has Tilly body-shaming outside of the Twitter imbeciles been a thing? 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. That sort of thing contributes to some pretty hardcore dysmorphia sure, they are famous and have luxuries and money so many of us dont, but hearing stories like how Carrie Fisher was told she should lose weight to be able to reprise Leia, or how Kumail Nanjani is scarily fixated on his physical appearance now is sad. Maybe not but what are your thoughts? The future doesnt have a preferred accent. TrekMovie.com is not endorsed, sponsored or affiliated with CBS Studios Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp. or the Star Trek franchise. David Ajala: Yeah, absolutely. With his skill and abilities, we will see how he may use them in a way that may affect his relationship with Michael Burnham. My suspicion is they farm this out to sweatshops somewhere in Asia. For me I love how it deals with social logic as well as technology. That one ship generates more energy than present-day Earths entire human energy expenditure, generates its own artificial gravity, and violates causality routinely. 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. Tillys great contribution is that shes NOT that sort of superwoman most people can never be. The Klingon redesign was much more than a visual reboot and especially the tech aspects dont fit canon (holographic communication, Klingon cloaking, android bridge crew, easy terraforming, state-of-the-art nanotech, Enterprise battle squad). Its not celebrating obesity to say that her body is her business and nobody elses. Regarding fans, tons of them love Tilly. 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. Bad, character pandering types of writing, with over-emotional children in the roles of astronaut-scientist-soldiers. Not everyone is skinny and not everyone likes skinny. Thats just a matter of preference. But my point was that she rarely conveyed anything useful or something that was not already obvious to all. All are Trek! 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. It just really doesnt fit in this show however. Saying that its the job of actors to tell people whats healthy and whats not is the problem, not a solution. Even 1,000 years into the future, Burham cannotoh well, that is a different story for a different post. 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. It would make sense if you knew the story ;) Lets just say Jake did write his famous book a couple of years after the end of DS9, but in the years and decades ahead he went on to much bigger things and took his career and his life in a very different direction. So many reasons to be critical of Disco plot holes, awful sense of morals, missed opportunities, etc. Although there are speculations of Mary Wiseman's pregnancy, she is not. Martin-Green says she has come to accept changes in her body, especially after the birth of her second child shortly before production on season three: With my first pregnancy I bounced back without trying (which is a crime, by the way, that we expect women to do that after birth rather than focus on healing). 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. It was so fun. Happy to have your wit, enthusiasm, & talent as part of the franchise. GD, what shoes is David wearing in those pics? Ok, SH didnt invent this. What accent? I can see myself having a few bottles of synthehol with him. The increasingly repeated notion that Discovery has saved the Trek franchise with emotion and humanity is dubious revisionist history. It inspired her to switch careers. [1] Early life [ edit] Wiseman is the youngest daughter of Dorothy and Kevin Wiseman and has three older brothers. She cant control her weight. You mean that I can find myself a BBW in the 32nd Century? 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. I even got a t-shirt that says DISCO on it, which prompts inquiries about my musical tastes of past decades when I was a twenty-something, lol. With Discovery now firmly planted in the distant future, Paradise notes the importance of ensuring that that show remains connected to the larger Star Trek universe through well-placed references . Yes but Star Trek shouldnt be about lazy writing, poor character development and bad storytelling. You always come up with weird posts VS this one is weirder than usual Im afraid to say. There is a great scene back in S1 when Tilly and Burnham are doing cardio training and post workout are eating their protien, carbs and fat nutrition, something that the body requires after a hard cardio workout. But my initial annoyed response to DISCO in particular, well, Ive let go of that in the past two years, as life is too short to get all worked-up angry over personal quibbles with a tv show. But then again Im not a troll. Everyone in the world do not look and act the same if it was for me, it would be a very boring uninterested world. Im glad for you that you didnt find him annoying. Too nervous and anxious. See more at the Paley Center for Media Arts' Star Trek: Discovery Fight for the Future exhibit in Los Angeles, now through July 7th. Everybody loves is an idiom, it should never be taken as a strict statement. 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). But because of Discovery we have Lower Decks, Picard, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds, Short Treks, possibly Section 31 and the Academy show. I never thought of Adira as being all that similar, but I see your point. The episode, titled "All Is Possible,". 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. Mary Wiseman said in an interview after her departing episode that she'd be back before the end of the season. And the only family she has is on that ship. I believe we can thank Mack for helping the Showrunners and writers identify species that would work in Prodigy and for some deep cuts. I basically just know the books that gets discussed or reviewed here. As a Black girl, I felt I was supposed to look this way. I know everyone is different but for me, once I hit my mid-30s my metabolism slowed down, so I had to cut back on the amount of food I ate compared to when I was 25. ;). Thank you, Trek Movie Staff, for sharing my interview with your readers and providing a link to Forbes.com! That said, I know people can be cruel and I am even worried bringing up this topic for fear of the idiot fringe piling on, but I hope Mary Wiseman is okay or has a good reason for her weight gain since S1. Its really just certain comments sections and Facebook garbage holes.
