    I dont get the hate. Tilly is one of the most memorable characters from discovery.

    As someone who doesn’t usually connect with modern Trek, I’ve really been enjoying Academy and Life Of The Stars was one of my favorite Trek episodes of all time. Not many Trek episodes have made me cry like a little girl.

    Disco was blessed with a bunch of very talented actors, but constantly plagued with terrible writing. It was lovely to see Wiseman on Academy.

    Why the hate? I thought she was good in whatever series I saw her in (can’t recall the name, but she was a main character).

    Tilly is in this show? Well, I’m glad I never started watching it.

        Is it toxic to not like a poorly written character? I have absolutely nothing against the actress and wouldn’t ever wish harm on an actor/actress just because of a character they portrayed. Are we not allowed to have differing opinions on art?

      Found one of the toxic fans.

        Sure, if it makes you feel better to call me that. I just don’t care for the direction Trek went with Discovery. I do like SNW though.

      She’s a guest star in a single episode.

        From what I’ve seen this show seems more like Discovery than classic Trek. Having Tilly show up confirms that for me. That’s a no thanks from me.

    @ValueSubtracted Tilly seemed very much autistic coded... which I like to be honest. I like that neurodiversity is being seen - especially in Trek. Tilly being in a leadership role is awesome. It challenges the stigma of us being problematic in a leadership position. :3
