AFAICT it's literally one single user carpet bombing the thread with their inane opinions sifted from the YT outrage machine. I blocked them immediately, and abracadabra. Everything else is a Tilly love fest.
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).
Discovery. She was a constant MVP in that from her first appearance.
"I'll call you Mickey; I think that's a little more approachable."
"No you won't."
"Okay, no I won't."
aside from being a great episode of Academy, this episode was also a perfect coda to Discovery. Tilly got to be the person she needed back in the day
Jesus this was hard to read.
Yeah, that’s a great question. It’s tricky, because a lot of times in acting, you want to kind of give what you receive. And so I felt like what I needed to hold, and what I was reminded of by the director and Alex and everybody involved, is that she’s affected by by this and what this girl is going through and how this girl is responding to her, but also, she’s in a position now where she’s a teacher and responsible for this cadet, and needs to hold things together to guide her through this really difficult experience, which was a really fun thing to play, and really the dynamic in the playing of it was how to empathize with her and receive what Tarima was experiencing and going through and try to steer the ship where I thought it needed to go in order for her to move through this experience and heal and be able to come out better on the other end.
Something something people experiencing emotions and people experiencing emotions about people experiencing emotions. Damn.
