They really put this slightly downsy-looking ginger fresh off the short bus on the command staff and spent four seasons astroturfing her as the next Barclay.
Fuckin' A. There were so many reasons to hate Tilly and her being a little chunky should have been last on the list.
Oh yeah. It is one of the ones people are told to skip.
They did the inclusivity draft. First pick: black woman captain. Second pick: aspie who eats.
She grew on me, and I can agree with this. If you give her good material she's actually good. Her "Let's Fly" isn't "Engage" worthy but it's pretty good.
It was a better time, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. You can't be racist and then be like "oh no, those older shows are full of racist shit, how did these chuds get away with it!"... I'm really fucking tired of shitlib talking points infesting everything. Just be racist and don't give a fuck about them, it's literally that easy.
She never got shit for being obese though, even in STD it was never acknowledged, which made a sequence in the second season very funny where she won the marathon onboard the Discovery. Yes, she beat every /fit/ officer.
Are you drunk? I saw memes about her being fat on /pol/. If you mean the show never brought it up, then no shit, the producers aren't going to mock an actress for being fat. Either way, I'm not defending STD. I never watched it because it looked like, and was, shit. All I'm saying is her appearance was talked about more than how retarded her character was.
4chan is not real life though. I made fun of her in the trek threads on /tv/ at the time too but her weight wasn't a topic outside of 4chan. No reviewer brought it up.
I meant that they should have told her to exercise. Back in the BSG days up to SGU, the actors who had military roles were told to be fit, they had to do crossfit training. Of course this was before the "body positivity" movement and the cult of morbid obesity became a thing.
Fun fact: The kid who tried to sell Carter into slavery would later go on to play a Power Ranger.Then I get to "Emancipation" aka Planet Mongolia. How did this get on air in 1997? This is Code of Honor levels of hilariously offensive which made me look up the imdb of one of the writers...
Fucks sake...
I'd say the arc leading to her becoming Captain was the problem. The third season should have been about her readjusting to her job as First Officer before proving herself worthy of taking command of Discovery as Captain. Instead, a chunk of the season was wasted on Tilly being First Officer for some reason and losing the most important ship in Starfleet withjn hours of being placed in charge.
At least they didn't beam a baby inside her womb this time.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love me some good racism and thought the episode was hilarious. I was surprised to see an episode like that airing in 1997 and thought it was even funnier when I found out one of the writers also wrote the Planet Africa episode of TNG.
They had a double dose of Georgiou, the original and the Mirror Universe version who they treated like the original one despite knowing the crazy shit she did.
That was the dumbest way to explain away Kiras actress getting knocked up lol
I thought it ended up being cute with all the dumb shit pregnant Kira had to do. The sneezing was a funny quirk.
It ended up cute, I don't deny that, just the explanation was fucking ridiculous
I love/hate TV surrogacy plot lines.
This is the funniest and most baffling thing about Discovery bar none.
I personally thought there was an interesing concept behind Burnham and Mirror Georgiou's relationship (both wanting the other to act like their late counterpart from their own universe), but it was really weird how the later seasons of Discovery had her act like a teenager who stole her dad's credit card to buy tequila. Like, she still spearheaded the deaths of God knows how many people when she was in charge of the Terran Empire. It's an odd choice to try downplaying genocide and cannibalism as soon as she joined the crew because you want to include a quirky anti-hero.
Eh. I like it for being creative.
Does Red Forman know someone else knocked up his wife?love/hate TV surrogacy plot lines.
Phoebe is now carrying her brother’s triplets or whatever.
