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
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.”
Tilly is in this show? Well, I’m glad I never started watching it.
Hey look, it’s the guy from the article!
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?
Well it’s a different show with different writers and she isn’t playing the timid and anxious character she was in early Discovery.
Her being timid wasn’t really the part of her character I didn’t like. The fact that she was timid was her only character flaw was what made her a week character. Like she never struggled other than to accept that she was capable of doing things.
Wandering the internet to loudly declare your disinterest in things?
Besides time-consuming (it’s a big Fediverse, so you must not get a lot of sleep)…yeah, kind of toxic.
It was in the hot feed… It’s not like I did a ton of “wandering”. One post is hardly “loudly” declaring anything. What’s louder is all the people jumping to conclusions about who I am as a person and as a fan from the one comment.
the people jumping to conclusions about who I am as a person and as a fan from the one comment.
Like jumping to conclusions about a show you haven’t watched based on one headline?
Nope, I’ve seen others and have seen reviews. But, you just made another assumption about me.
True, I did forget the Must Reply To Everything in the Hot Feed rule.
No, I think you forgot about the people are allowed to have differing opinions about things rule. Generally I love Trek. I did not like Discovery or Picard (I did hear Picard got better in later episodes), but I like everything else. The character Tilly was one of the specific things I didn’t like about Discovery. Life isn’t a weird dichotomy where people love or hate everything. People aren’t only super fans or toxic fans. There is a wide swatch of people in between. As a Trek fan I would think you would be especially aware of all the gray area in between. I don’t know what drives you to attack me as a person for stating an opinion on a fictional character… I hope you get over that some day.
anonymous individuals who can work out some of whatever’s going on in their own lives, be it rage or, you know, self-loathing, and then put that onto you.
That quote is funny. I’m pretty sure she meant can’t not can. But yes, I can work those things out and don’t need to put them on others. I’m not sure why saying I don’t like a specific character would make you assume otherwise. That’s a massive jump to a conclusion.
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.
I couldn’t stand Discovery but Academy very quickly won me over.
I mean, it’s Trek. I’ll probably eventually give it a shot. But the stench of Discovery is all over this one.
