I love how upset some people get about Tilly serving on a big burly masculine warship that sometimes has the serious job of killing people.
If a crew like this didn’t have people like Tilly on it, it would catastrophically fall apart after the 10th crisis or so.
Especially in this season it so obvious how Tilly’s intelligence manifests in being able to bypass entire complexes of prejudice and social norms whether they be human or alien, and get right to the point with somebody. In an organization that is constantly trying to establish trust with a variety of unknown actors, Tilly is an incredible asset.

Very well said!

This is an excellent distillation of what makes Tilly great. Imho she’s the best written character across the board in any Trek of the past two decades. I missed her sorely in season 4.
