And a. Lwaxana Troi, Tilly is frankly nowhere near as annoying as those other characters. 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. Its this kind of nonsense that ruins Discovery. I really liked her in the first season. Tilly is a Harry Kim, Wesley Crusher, Travis Mayweather sort of character at least for me. After they wrote her to be the most annoying person possible. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER. No character like her would ever have graduated Starfleet. Development for the fifth season of Discovery is well underway, with production expected to begin in June. They should all try for the standards of randos on the internet like you Actually, the production team is not helping either. The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Ive never liked Tilly. Just when it looks like the character has finally grown as a person and doing her own thing, comes right back. But Barclay is just irritating as hell. Debuting as a cadet aboard the Discovery in Star Trek: Discovery season 1, Mary Wiseman's Sylvia Tilly evolved from a timid rookie into a valued member of the titular ship's crew, receiving a promotion to lieutenant to compliment her considerable character development. She cant control her weight. Thats the whole point why they wanted HER to teach at the newly formed Academy They wanted someone with the original 23rd century optimism and enthusiasm I share that notion a lot And yeah, Im glad Starfleet doesnt work like actual military, And no, S3 was not stupidity. 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). lol ;). Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 4 Review: All Is Possible Thats not good writing, its oandering fan fiction, Starfleet is not military. 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?! Picard is the third Kurtzman Production. Most of what she did was convey the amazingly obvious like offering such useful insights such as, Hes concealing something but I dont know what. And her abilities were never fully defined. I dont think youre ready for that kind of interaction, online, or anywhere else. Discovery's thesis is that anyone can be in Starfleet as long as they just believe in themselves hard enough and get the occasional pep talk. 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.
