Those b@stards, however, totally killed Landry )Cuddles with @actordougjones and @davbentom These men are nothing short of hereoic in prosthetics all day e'reday. )Granted, I think the special effects, space battles, bizarre technology and explosions are the proverbial tail wagging the dog, but thats always been the case, and is increasingly expected in these post-Star Wars, high tech decades.

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.

At the other end, underweight is also unhealthy and associated with other risks, but gets less negative attention in entertainment. Did Tilly on Discovery gain weight? I hope were able to explore it because theres potential for great levity, but then also really important conversations to be had because when you care about someone you dont want to see them go through pain, and I can see completely how Tilly will be very protective of Michael Burnham. The reed-thin part sometimes involves unhealthy behaviors. Mention one thing or person loved by EVERYBODY. Funny enough, I have never had a problem with Wesley. She cant control her weight. David Ajala: I would be very dangerous. Where I live people compete on the merits. I mean, there could have been but it was never seen or talked about.

Hopefully next season they will be given more development. I thought her arc was going to end with her being booted from the service for repeatedly failing physical fitness tests? Since this is a show for kids and its not directly focused on the Voyager characters (at least not yet ;)), obviously I dont really expect any of the bigger plot lines from those books to happen; but it would be cool if the basic idea stuck around and that the Protostar was part of a long term mission of advance starfleet ships heading back to the DQ for study. But the characters are pitch perfect. If you read what Mary and Sonequa are saying, they arent promoting any particular body style or fitness choice, just that they are as they are and only they have the right to choose how that should be. To me, at least. Tilly accepts herself but she rises to challenges, leads in a crisis, is there for her friends but still explores what she wants for *herself*, and mentors others to help them grow! Then there are many women like Sonequa, who feel theyre too skinny. Just mentioning few of their values. Tilly appears twice in the Star Trek: Discovery season 5 trailer. I agree 100%.

Why is Tilly fatter than others? : r/StarTrekDiscovery - reddit Im relieved to say I have no idea how that feels, and its something I cant even stomach thinking about, frankly. Star Trek is supposed to be socially progressive but this show went too far. I do not endorse body-shaming in any way, as I was bullied as a kid years ago. Its this kind of nonsense that ruins Discovery. While Im excited to get back to the 32nd century and see whats changed since season 3 Im still not excited for the season itself. :P (I know the whole thing of having a *ships* councilor is inherently different from what real therapists do on dry land, but yeah its super weird.
