dilma star trek

Dilemmas are integrated into Voyages . Please see the main article for more information.

If your crew has survived enough hazards lasting two hours, your crew will be presented with a Dilemma - a stop point during your voyage that presents a situation that requires interaction. You, the player, must choose a course of action, all of which award some loot, possibly including Honor (30 to 100), Chronitons (30 to 75), Ship Schematics , Crew or Components .

During a Dilemma, the voyage is paused. Antimatter is not being consumed, and the timer does not advance. Until a solution is chosen by the player, the voyage will not continue. This can be used as a fail-safe by players -- for instance during an overnight voyage. However, if your skills are not strong enough, you can deplete your AM before reaching the next Dilemma.

At the introduction of Voyages, there were six crew that could be obtained only through Dilemmas (i.e. not through Dabo, Packs, etc) - Fierce Guinan , Colonel Worf , Lucien , The Clown , Jannar and Thot Gor -- by selecting a specific Dilemma sequence. Initially these crew were only available once, requiring Super Rare Honorable Citations to fuse. However, as of client update v6.0 on September 4, 2018, all Voyage-exclusive crew were changed to allow multiple drops meaning Citations are no longer strictly required. Previously, the only exception to the one-drop limit was Fierce Guinan , a copy of whom is awarded as an achievement .

Client Update v6.0 also added two new Voyage-exclusive crew: Dr. Leonard McCoy and Ensign Picard .

The weekly server update on January 4, 2023 added one new Voyage-exclusive crew, the first Legendary Voyage crew, Vori Defender Chakotay . [1]

The weekly server update on August 8, 2023 altered the way some Dilemma rewards work, including the addition of Beholds for some crew and ship schematic rewards. [2]

The weekly server update on September 19, 2023 added a new Voyage-exclusive crew, and several new dilemmas to reach all Legendary crew. The new dilemmas begin at the 12 hour mark and have an increased chance of receiving the Legendary rewards. [3]

How Discovery's DMA Reflects Our Struggle with COVID

"For some that change is positive growth. For others, it can be much harder."

StarTrek.com

Crisis on a global, quadrant, and galactic scale have been a core part of Star Trek since The Original Series . Whether it is cetacean aliens threatening to destroy earth if they can’t find a whale, the Borg traveling back in time to stop Zefram Cochrane’s first warp flight, or the rogue AI, Control, attempting to wipe out organic life once and for all, every Starfleet crew has faced some sort of existential threat on a massive scale. Rarely has that threat, or its repercussions, felt as uncomfortably relatable as the Dark Matter Anomaly (DMA) in Star Trek: Discovery ’s fourth season. Mysterious as it is deadly, the DMA simply appears one day, and within hours wipes out an entire planetary system. Scientists scrambled to understand and stop it. Politicians and bureaucrats struggled to establish precautionary measures. Everywhere, ordinary people confront the vulnerability of their existence. Watching this from the comfort of my apartment, where I’ve spent most of the last two years  applying for remote work, baking bread, hanging out with friends on Discord voice chat, and taking COVID-19 rapid tests, this crisis was distinctly familiar. Though the differences between the DMA and COVID-19 as phenomena are plentiful and obvious, one being a wormhole and the other being a virus, they leave a similar wake of death, anxiety, and change. When the stability and structure of our lives are injured by a crisis on the scale of the DMA or COVID-19, we are forced to change. For some that change is positive growth. For others, it can be much harder.

Humans are meaning-making creatures. We like to believe that our time spent in this galaxy has a purpose. Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, emerging from the Nazi concentration camp in which he had spent three years as prisoner, developed his logotherapy on the core belief that finding purpose in your life is the only way out of darkness. Conversely, when our sense of meaning is disrupted or taken away, our lives become much darker. We may even have an existential crisis: a lonesome, anxious confrontation with the perception that life has no meaning and we are each alone. When confronted with your own mortality, especially when interpersonal relationships and social structures like work or church are strained or unavailable, an existential crisis can be hard to navigate. The Morneau Shepell Mental Health Index of Americans in 2020 noted a significant decline in mental health between February and April, when stay at home orders went into effect and COVID started ravaging our communities. Anxiety and depression ran rampant. The things we had relied on to give our lives meaning had disappeared. Even when they hadn’t, when friends and jobs and communities survived, they often didn’t seem to be doing the trick. Something shifted, something felt “off.”

That’s how Lieutenant Sylvia Tilly describes her mental state as anxiety and lack of confidence disrupt her life in the DMA’s immediate wake. Her job, the one she had been training for since adolescence, the only life she knew, just didn’t feel right anymore. “Life is just a blink,” she says to Captain Saru, days after the destruction of Kwejian. “It is one heartbeat in the entire lifespan of the universe. I don’t think I really understood that before.” For Doctor Hugh Culber, who already died once before and came back, that lesson was understood all too well. In the wake of the DMA’s destruction, he serves as counselor to the Discovery ’s unsettled crew and the scores of traumatized refugees aboard the starship. As he takes on more and more patients, never giving himself a chance to rest, the dawning truth that he cannot simply heal their grief outright, and that he can’t escape his own emotions by focusing on others, threatens to crush him.

Chief among his patients is Cleveland Booker, the sole survivor of the destruction of Kwejian. Mere months after being reunited with his family and culture when he saved them from the oppression of the Emerald Chain, and just minutes after holding his young nephew in a deeply emotional coming of age ritual, Book is forced to watch, helpless, as Kwejian is torn asunder by gravitational rifts. His home is gone, forever. Book’s grief is one of the core plot arcs of Discovery ’s fourth season, if not the driving force. Most of us have probably encountered the Kübler-Ross five stages of grief:  denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance. They are often presented like a pathway from one to the next, with acceptance as the ultimate destination. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross was never happy with this interpretation of what was supposed to be a broadly descriptive model of how patients with terminal illness cope with the knowledge that they will soon die. While these five emotions are common to people in grief, they are by no means the full extent of grief, nor are they linear. Grief presents as countless emotions in no predetermined order. Your grief may stay one way for weeks, months, even years at a time, or it might vacillate between emotional states from one second to the next.

Book’s emotional journey is a turbulent one. He bounces between anger at himself and others, deep, silent depression, bargaining for relief, and luminous moments of acceptance that rarely last more than a day or two. While he never denies what happened to Kwejian, his belief that he could have saved his people and that their deaths are his fault, is as unrealistic as it is self-flagellating. This powerful sense of guilt is what keeps him going at first. The weeks after the DMA hit Kwejian find Book following Lieutenant Stamets, eager to assist in any way he can with Stamets’ efforts to combat the DMA. He overworks himself. He submits himself to one, in Stamets’ words, “clinical, forensic discussion of your loss” after another. He volunteers for every suicide mission and lost cause that come across his plate. At first, it seems to be working. He opens up about his loss and even revisits the happy memories of his home. But that light soon fades.

Research by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the University of Regina, in a paper entitled “Real versus illusory personal growth in response to COVID-19 pandemic stressors” by Asmundson et al, found that while 77% of participants reported experiencing some form of personal growth since the outbreak of the pandemic, a significant portion of that growth was “illusory.”

“Illusory growth was characterized by high growth along with high disability, worsening symptoms over time, and increased use of alcohol… The most common types of growth were developing better appreciation for healthcare workers, having greater appreciation for the value of one’s own life, developing stronger appreciation for friends and family, better appreciating each day, changing priorities about what is important in life, and greater feelings of self-reliance. The least common types of growth related to greater willingness to express emotions, being a more positive person, finding new opportunities, and establishing a new path in life… 49% of the sample reported higher levels of [growth] but with differing patterns of disability and changes in symptom severity over the course of the pandemic… The combination of self-reported personal growth accompanied by deteriorating emotional health and functional capacity suggests the possibility of illusory growth, a form of ineffective coping.”

In simpler terms, like Book, a lot of us have been clinging to lifelines and seeking meaning in the madness, even as our mental health has declined and our material reality has grown harsher. Book’s attempts to help are not constructive processing of his trauma. They are attempts at distraction and self-destruction. He goes to therapy hoping it will cure his pain, not help him learn how to navigate it. When his coping mechanisms fail, he takes drastic steps. His relationship with Michael crumbles, he makes an enemy of himself to the crew, and he falls in with an irrational and self serving ideologue who offers him a chance for redemption. He becomes a reactionary.

Book’s collapse under the weight of his own grief is not a sealed fate for those in a similar position. For Tilly, the tenets of the Qowat Milat become a key part of her healing journey. Serving on a joint mission with the Order in the episode “Choose to Live,” she gets a chance to learn about their philosophies. As Gabrielle Burnham explains, “Paths end and change throughout everyone’s life… You either move on to a new path and live, or stay and die… In everyday life, a path’s end can be harder to recognize. You must be willing to look inside yourself with absolute candor.” The candor practiced by the Qowat Milat can be intimidating. It is also deeply compassionate, an honesty that seeks to liberate those on a doomed path. Tilly turns the candor in on herself and finds dissatisfaction with her career. She gets off that path, starting a new one, one that she instantly finds more fulfilling. Hugh Culber finds himself saved by a similar “brutal honesty” from Doctor Kovich. His value as a healer, a duty he stakes his whole sense of self on, is threatened by his inability to take away his patients’ fear, anxiety, and depression. Kovich cuts through Culber’s defenses with the sharpness of a Qowat Milat blade, revealing the insecure, guilt-ridden survivor beneath, and implores him to seek something besides his work on which to moor himself. Sure enough, the next time we see Hugh, we find him walking off hand in hand with his husband for a garden stroll.

The core of this season of Discovery is life growing in its darkest moments. Tilly and Culber find new paths to heal what’s broken inside of them. Gray, having lived as practically a ghost for months, finds a new body, in a stunning character arc that felt intimately familiar for many of us who have come out as trans over the past few years of private self-reflection. Saru and Ni’Var President T’rina, two elder statespeople who cut themselves off from affection and attachment lifetimes ago, find a spark of warmth and love that becomes key in forging communications with the Ten-C in the season’s final episodes. The ship’s computer itself, Zora, develops sentience.This is not a technological development, but a psychological one from her time with Discovery’s emotionally open crew. Candor and compassion are central to how Discovery - both ship and show - approach and resolve daunting crises. Even Book finds his way towards healing, though it comes almost too late. Spurned by Jet Reno’s incisive remarks, Book begins to reexamine his situation and recognizes mad scientist Ruon Tarka not as savior but as the terminus of Book’s doomed path. Tarka lost the only person he ever loved and with him the only significant link he had to the rest of the world. The man we see in this season is a spiral of self-aggrandizing chaos - willing to do anything, say anything, hurt anyone - in his quest towards a personal valhalla where the burden of his grief would be lifted. But that burden can never be lifted. It can only be shared.

Book stops Tarka with yet more candor, showing him how his lost love Oros would have never wanted this egoistic vengeance. He frees the imprisoned Reno and rejoins Michael. When he comes face to alien face with the engineers of the DMA, he speaks to them not just of justice and harm, but of restoration. He is honest with them, and implores them to be honest with themselves. He takes his own words to heart, and for the first time since the destruction of Kwejian, begins to actually heal. He starts off on a new path, an unknown one with risks and pain to be expected, but one that may actually let him live.

It is vital to note the differences, not just between the DMA and COVID-19 as scientific phenomena, but as crises. For one, the DMA crisis is resolved within a few months. Meanwhile, we will be dealing with the coronavirus indefinitely. In fact, it is likely it will continue to be a part of our lives in some way for a very, very long time. Hopefully, a small part, but that remains to be seen. For another, crises are not just handled by individuals. They’re handled by governments, systems, and societies. In Star Trek , we see a compassionate, humanitarian Federation reach out to other political bodies to work with them, forge alliances, and solve this crisis while mitigating harm to the maximum extent possible. In our world, patents and medical markets have created vaccine apartheid, where some nations hoard supplies for a sense of false security while others suffer. In Star Trek , the comorbid breakdowns in the social order like Book’s reactionary tactics, General Ndoye’s collaboration, or Qowat Milat sister Jivini’s acts of terrorism, are met with compassion and understanding, placed into the social context of the traumatic and terrifying time they are living in. In our world, the ongoing social issues of housing inequality, lack of health care, a militarized and prejudiced police force, and so much more became unignorable under the stresses of the pandemic, but the subsequent social unrest has gone largely ignored, often violently silenced. So many of us have worked so hard to practice compassion and absolute candor with one another and ourselves, to heal the wounds between and within us, whether social or psychological. Many of us see ourselves, our communities, and our world at the end of one path. As the President of United Earth tells Captain Burnham, “There’s a lot of work to do.” Are we ready for that?

Star Trek's Biggest Badass Reveals His Starship's Secret Name

From The Dark Knight to Discovery , David Ajala is a man of action.

David Ajala’s journey in the Final Frontier is coming to a close. Although Ajala only joined the cast of Star Trek: Discovery in 2020, at the start of Season 3 , it certainly feels like his rugged space courier with a heart of gold — Cleveland “Book” Booker — has been on in the series longer than he really has. As Book, Ajala brought some Indiana Jones swagger to Discovery , albeit with a touch of Gene Roddenberry idealism .

The fifth episode of Discovery’s final season puts Book and Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) into a perilous and very familiar setting, one which connects back to The Original Series, Deep Space Nine , Discovery’s second season, and even Strange New Worlds.

Inverse caught up with Ajala — best known for his roles in The Dark Knight and Supergirl — to get his take on where he’s been, how Star Trek has “blessed” his life, and which franchise he wants to jump to next.

Spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Discovery Episode 5, “Mirrors.”

Book and Burnham fly a shuttle in a new daring mission to...the Enterprise !

While in pursuit of the latest clue to unravel the secret of the Progenitor tech , “Mirrors” leads Captain Burnham and Book into a wormhole where they find the ISS Enterprise NCC-1701, the wicked Mirror Universe version of the classic 23rd century Enterprise from The Original Series and Strange New Worlds. (ISS stands for “Imperial Star Ship.” Whereas USS means “United Star Ship.”) This evil Enterprise first appeared in the 1967 TOS episode “Mirror, Mirror.” But, for the sake of current visual continuity, it’s now clearly a redress of the USS Enterprise set from Strange New Worlds.

“We wrapped shooting before [ Strange New Worlds ] started to commence their next season,” Ajala reveals. “So, sadly, the crossover didn’t happen.” But, Ajala notes that being in the physical sets of the Enterprise sickbay and bridge was a refreshing change from some of his other work in Discovery .

“There is a lot of green screen usually, and you have to tap into your childhood imagination. You’re playing cowboys,” Ajala explains. “But, there was something very, very special about shooting that scene that made it a lot easier for me to act. Part of it was what Sonequa [Martin-Green] was doing. How she held the space in such reverence, how she really channeled into the memory of her brother [Spock]. It was really wonderfully special and the fans are just going to love it.”

When Ajala joined Discovery as Book in 2020, he was probably best known to genre fans for his role as a bounty hunter working for the Joker (Heath Ledger) in The Dark Knight . But, he’s equally recognizable as Manchester Black from CW’s Supergirl . Then again, he was also one of the “Smilers” named Peter in the 2010 Doctor Who episode “The Beast Below.” From Star Trek, and the DCEU to the Whoniverse, that’s a lot of sci-fi geek cred for one man. And now, that Discovery is winding down, Ajala doesn’t mind looking back on his pre-Star Trek work with fondness, and even, a hypothetical part of his future.

David Ajala in 2024, a man for all seasons, and dimensions.

“There was once upon a time, a possibility. There was a very strong invitation to go back into one of those worlds,” Ajala says cryptically. Does this mean he was almost in the multiverse shenanigans of The Flash ? Another CW Arrowverse show? Even a later episode of Doctor Who ? Ajala can’t say outright, so we’re just guessing. But it seems like it almost happened and could happen again. “The timing didn’t work out,” he says. “If and when that opportunity does present itself, I would gladly take that invitation again.”

Ajala is also open to the idea of tackling franchises he’s never been a part of before. And because he was born in London, his accent does make some wonder if he could be the phantom menace of future James Bond contenders .

“That is a vicious rumor!” Ajala says with a laugh. “But it’s also a massive compliment. In all honesty, it’s a wonderful thought to even entertain the idea of [playing Bond]. My main thing is to always pursue roles that excite me, that turn me on, and that challenge me. Stranger things have happened.”

It’s not hard to see why some folks might think of David Ajala as James Bond material in the 2020s. When he debuted in Discovery Season 3, as Book, he was a space pirate with a heart of gold, a guy whom we believed was poaching alien animals, but, in reality, he’s an empath, bringing space creatures to better homes. But, Book’s also a badass, who had, for two seasons, his own Star Trek version of the Millennium Falcon. Sadly, Book’s sleek scout ship — complete with its morphing tech — was destroyed in Season 4. So, pour one out for... wait. What was Book’s ship called anyway?

“It was called Electric Chocolate ,” Ajala reveals with a grin. “Not many people know that, but I’ll share it with you.” Hopefully, the Star Trek fan wiki, Memory Alpha is paying attention, since, prior to this Book’s ship is referred to, off-screen, as either “the Nautilus” or “Vessel - C.” And, let’s face it, Electric Chocolate sounds way better.

David Ajala at SXSW 2024, flashing a classic “live long and prosper” in support of Star Trek: Discovery .

Still, with or without his cool ship, Book’s story in Star Trek: Discovery will end this year. But, David Ajala’s journey with Star Trek will likely never be over. Recently, he was a part of the 2024 Star Trek Cruise, where he says he was thrilled to connect with Trek actors from the other series. “I got to hang with Michelle Hurd, Anthony Montgomery, and Todd Stashwick ! It was incredible.”

Ajala also says that he will continue to do Star Trek conventions for as long as he can, but that he will probably only select about “three conventions” a year. His reasoning for doing fewer is simply because he wants to be present for the fans when he is there.

“I'd probably choose three a year, but when I'm there, I'm fully there with very healthy energy,” Ajala says. “I think it's just been deeply humbling and special. We're not superheroes. We’re real people. So, I want to be really, really be there, when I’m there. I want to sign however many autographs I need to sign and give as many hugs as I need to.”

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Reveals Moll & L’ak’s Backstory

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for  Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode 5 “Mirrors.”]

It’s far from a meet cute and in no way the start of a rom-com, but  Star Trek: Discovery does offer a look at how Moll ( Eve Harlow ) and L’ak ( Elias Toufexis ) first crossed paths and what led them to become Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin-Green ) and her crew’s foes in the latest episode.

“Mirrors” takes Michael and Book ( David Ajala ), who has realized Moll is the daughter of his mentor, into a pocket of interdimensional space and onto the abandoned  ISS Enterprise , where they try to get through to Moll and L’ak with both pairs after the same thing: the next piece of the puzzle that will unlock the ultimate power everyone’s after this season. Book tries to get through to Moll, and L’ak ends up injured. But rather than turn themselves in, as Michael and Book try to convince them to do, Moll and L’ak set off as soon as they get the chance.

Read on for insight from Ajala, Harlow, and Toufexis about this episode, filming on the  ISS Enterprise set, and more.

When L’ak Met Moll

As flashbacks detail, Moll was a courier who met L’ak on one of her deliveries; he was the primarch’s nephew who’d been demoted to shuttle bay duty and ultimately took her side, leading the two to flee and now there’s a blood bounty on them. Both Harlow and Toufexis had hints about their characters’ backstory, but it wasn’t until the script for this episode that they got the full picture.

“I was bugging them for the script to 505 because they told me [the backstory] was [that episode],” Toufexis tells TV Insider of what he says is his favorite episode he’s in. “They gave me a little bit of background so I could play it in the other episodes, but when I saw the episode, I was so happy because I play a lot of bad guys on TV, and more often than not, you don’t get to find out why they’re bad or why they’re doing what they’re doing—not that these guys are bad inherently. The fact that we get to go back and literally show and play everything, almost everything, at least for the reasoning why they’ve made these decisions and why they are who they are—that combined with the love story was my favorite thing about these characters for sure.”

Playing a love story as an antagonist was different for him, he explains. “They very rarely have a counterpart,” he says. “I was really happy that I have this to play, this reason to go on is Moll for L’ak. And that love story is the most interesting part of it for me, just being in love. Especially in sci-fi, it’s really rare, especially for antagonists. I just want to be in love and free is original, I think.”

'Star Trek: Discovery' Stars Tease How Series Ends for Their Characters

Harlow, too, enjoyed getting to “run around being in love” as what she calls her favorite character she’s played. She recalls that the sides she auditioned with, while fake scripts, are situations like in Episode 5. “Every episode that came out was really exciting because we didn’t know what we were getting and [we were] seeing it unfold in such an interesting way and getting more layers,” she says. “These characters are nuanced.”

Can Book Get Through to Moll?

When the episode begins, Book thinks Moll can turn things around and he might be able to reach her, and he does try to do so when they’re split off from Michael and L’ak. But while her father was his mentor, to Moll, he was just the person who left her and her mom.

“It’s like Moll has now offered a bit of a lifeline, someone who’s known Cleveland Booker, who was this Cleveland Booker’s mentor, to kind of understand more about his character, which Book assumed would have been positive,” says Ajala. “But then to hear Moll speak so negatively about Cleveland Booker gives him pause for thought.”

Book wasn’t able to get through to Moll, and Harlow doesn’t think he stands a chance of ever doing so. “Anyone who has mommy or daddy issues knows, it’s years of therapy. I think that those parent relationships are really difficult and I think that always the knee jerk reaction is, ‘No, I don’t want to face it,’ until you’re forced to face it. It’s her own resistance and the way that Moll has survived is with this hatred and pushing away of her father. It would require a complete 180 [and] years of therapy,” she says with a laugh. “Spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery – Moll in Therapy .”

But even so, is that connection to Book something that L’ak might be worried about? Toufexis admits it’s not something he had to consider. “L’ak is very untrusting of anybody, especially people that show particular interest in Moll,” he shares before teasing, “The trust grows more between Moll and L’ak because of her decisions towards Book.”

Still, Book isn’t willing to give up on Moll. “This season is all about second chances,” Ajala points out, adding that his character has received one. “He now wants to afford the same grace to Moll. It does get more challenging as the season progresses and it gets more complicated, but I feel that Book just has to try and see it through to make it worth it.”

For Book, the best-case scenario is this ends with “Moll finding favor amongst Starfleet and not going sown a destructive path,” says Ajala, but just because he wants this to work out doesn’t mean that it necessarily will—or that he doesn’t have a line when it comes to her. “If she makes a decision that she would never be able to come back from, that would be really, really sad.”

What’s Next for Moll & L’ak?

Last we saw the two, they were heading off with medical supplies and L’ak was injured. You’ll have to watch to see exactly what’s next but, “he’s fine,” says Toufexis.

As for the next time Book encounters Moll, “there will be drama,” Ajala teases. “It’s a very nuanced, complicated situation, and I think they’re both in very unfamiliar territory, but it’s going to be very important that they make the right decision or it will have a dramatic effect.”

What he’ll probably have to keep in mind is that there doesn’t seem to be anything that could make Moll or L’ak turn on the other and there isn’t a limit to how far they will go for one another. “This sounds so corny, but we only have each other,” says Harlow. “It’s us against the world.”

But that doesn’t necessarily mean they wouldn’t surrender. At one point, Michael tries to convince L’ak to do just that, and he asks if he and Moll would serve their time together.

“I remember specifically playing that and thinking, ‘Okay, he’s looking for at least a way out, recalls Toufexis, “but the end result has to be they’re free and together, or at least they’re together and safe. There are some rules that they both really need people to accept if they’re going to give in, and I don’t think they are.”

Harlow agrees that it would take “freedom and safety” for them to surrender, “and no one’s giving us that, so we have to get it ourselves in whatever way we can.”

Filming on the ISS Enterprise

Most of this episode takes place on the  ISS Enterprise , and as a big Star Trek fan, Toufexis was thrilled. Before getting the script for Episode 5, “I had heard a props guy or maybe a set deck guy talking [about] the Enterprise , and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, what was that? We’re going to the Enterprise ?'” he shares, admitting that he did take photos on the set that he will never publish. “I love being on that ship. I was texting my family, ‘Can you believe this? I’m on the freaking Enterprise . This is crazy.’ There’s footage of me at 15 years old doing a Star Trek TV show in my friend’s basement where we built an Enterprise out of cardboard. So the fact that I’m on the actual Enterprise now, that’s pretty crazy.”

Harlow chimes in to share that Toufexis surprised people on set by knowing what all the props were in the first episode of the season (see photo above).

Ajala chose to wait until he stepped on the set to film to see it. “I was quite intentional about that because I didn’t want to become too familiar and take this wonderful set for granted,” he explains. “I literally laid eyes on it when the camera was rolling. One would say that’s a slightly unorthodox way of working, but I found it really, really informative and it was a super special moment to just be in that space.”

What did you think of Moll and L’ak’s backstory? Let us know in the comments section, below.

One of Star Trek's Best New Characters Reclaimed a Problematic Trope

A Star Trek fan invented the "Mary Sue," and if any Discovery character fits the original it's not Michael Burnham but Sylvia Tilly. And it's great.

• Introduced as a cadet, Sylvia Tilly was a unique character in Star Trek with deep ties to the fandom and nothing but promise.
• The concept of a "Mary Sue" came from Star Trek fandom, but rather than how it's used today, the term somewhat applies to Tilly.
• Instead of a wish-fulfillment fan insert character, Sylvia Tilly proves to be a brilliant-but-awkward woman who always had a place in Star Trek.

There's a popular term used in media criticism that can trace its origins to the early days of Star Trek fandom. It's almost ironic that the lead protagonist of Star Trek: Discovery is often unfairly described with this label. However, if any character on Discovery is a canon Star Trek "Mary Sue," it's Sylvia Tilly, and that's what makes her great. While this might seem counterintuitive, it's likely because the original meaning of the term has been lost amid lazy, often sexist, critique.

An impossibly capable hero is never what the term "Mary Sue" described. Coined by prolific fanfiction writer and editor Paula Smith, it's meant to describe a certain kind of fan-insert character. Thus, if any character can be tagged with the Mary Sue label, it's not Discovery protagonist Michael Burnham but her best pal, Sylvia Tilly. This also doesn't mean that Tilly is a poorly-written character, either. Still, she does bear some intrinsic qualities of the kind of character fanfiction writers of the past tried to develop when they found themselves writing the kind of story Smith ended up satirizing.

Who Is Mary Sue, and What Does She Have to Do With Star Trek?

Star trek: discovery's callum keith rennie shows a new side of starfleet.

The community of fans who loved Star Trek created modern fandom , from building conventions around a single property to fan-created art and stories. While Star Trek didn't invent fanfiction, the years the universe was off-the-air was the first time fans were writing these stories for a community hungry for something new. However, a staple of fanfiction is the self-insert character, in which the author gets to live out their Star Trek dreams on the page. The flood of fanfiction in the days of Star Trek 's dark times led Smith to write a satirical story about her biggest gripe with what she read. The story that introduced "Lieutenant Mary Sue" was "A Trekkie's Tale."

Smith described the trope she satirized as a character who is young, beautiful, impossibly talented, "chastely" lusted after by Star Trek heroes, sometimes half-Vulcan and, often, died at the end of the story. This character's frequent appearances had two main causes. The first was that many teenagers' Star Trek fanfiction were their first stories, thus they were unpracticed writers. The second, and most important, is that in the 1970s, there weren't many characters in science fiction that women could see themselves in. Yet, Smith's intention was never to suggest that women's (or men's) self-insert characters couldn't be as impossibly awesome as the rest of the Star Trek crew. It was actually about the legacy characters themselves.

Smith explained in a 2011 interview , the "problem is, the presence of the Mary Sue warped all the other characters in the story away from their known characterization." It wasn't the self-insert character that made "Lieutenant Mary Sue" stories "bad writing," it was how the legacy characters reacted to her . They didn't feel like the characters fans knew, and in the 1970s, fanfiction was the only place Star Trek fans could find them outside of reruns. Yet, in the decades since, the term has been used to lambast any woman character who is a capable, powerful hero in a universe usually dominated by men.

How Sylvia Tilly Is a Reclamation of the Best Parts of Lieutenant Mary Sue

Star trek: discovery's alex kurtzman & michelle paradise talk final season.

One fair critique of Star Trek: Discovery 's first season is that the characters are all pretty surly and downtrodden. However, this was mostly in service of Season 1's Captain Lorca and the Mirror Universe twist. A ship run by a Terran during a war between Starfleet and the Klingons isn't the kind of environment into which anyone would be joyful about boldly going. Instead of seeking out new life, the crew usually found violence and death wherever they went, but this was the point of the season. Cadet Sylvia Tilly was an outlier and, arguably, a character through which fans could see themselves . After so long away from television, Tilly behaved how any fan would on the deck of a starship.

She was young, bubbly and far more capable and brilliant than her demeanor suggested. While her early awkward nature was a hallmark of the character, she did not lack confidence. On her first away mission to the USS Glenn, she tells Michael, "I'm the best theoretical engineer on the ship, it's why I was fast-tracked at the Academy." Her affable charm wears away at Burnham's hard exterior. In the episode, "Choose Your Pain," Tilly doesn't just drop Star Trek 's first "f-bomb," but in doing so cracks the surly exterior of Lieutenant Paul Stamets. Like Lieutenant Mary Sue, there is no character on Discovery who doesn't tend to love Tilly.

Throughout the series, Tilly is faced with situations where she is out of her depth. She successfully navigated Qo'noS with Star Trek staple Clint Howard. She was tapped as Captain Saru's first officer when the USS Discovery first arrived in the 32nd Century. Whatever situation Tilly faced, she rose to meet it whether the problem was one solved by knowledge or action. She has all the so-called Mary Sue qualities of a fan-insert character, but instead of skewing the rest of the ensemble, she helps define their characters. It's because Star Trek fan Tilly likes Burnham, Stamets or anyone else that makes them Star Trek -worthy heroes .

Sylvia Tilly's Ultimate Fate Is Perfect for a Fan-Insert Character

Star trek: discovery actors doug jones & david ajala prepare for their last adventure.

What makes Sylvia Tilly (now also a Lieutenant) like Mary Sue is how her behavior differs from the traditionally self-serious Starfleet hero . This is not a deficit in the storytelling but an asset. She is as excited to face their continuing mission as fans have been to be watching them for six decades. Tilly doesn't fall in love with the handsomest character, nor does she become the most important officer on the ship. She also doesn't die and resurrect herself. Rather, she is recognized by the 32nd Century leaders as the ideal character to shape Starfleet's future.

Tilly has the experience and intelligence to teach cadets, but she also has the enthusiasm and love of the mission the weary contemporary officers don't. In Season 4, Episode 4, "All Is Possible," Tilly leads a routine training mission staffed by cadets and, when things go horribly wrong, helps turn them into a real crew. They survive an impossible situation and realize the true mission were the friends they made along the way. The episode ends with Dr. Kovich offering Tilly a position as an instructor at Starfleet Academy, which she accepts. She doesn't want to leave her family on the USS Discovery, but she recognizes that she's the best person for the job.

This new direction might mean that Tilly will appear in the Starfleet Academy spinoff set to follow Discovery 's final season. Even if she doesn't, ending up training future Star Trek heroes is the perfect end for a character who embodies the qualities of the original Mary Sue character without its flaws. Tilly is a character that fans of any gender can see themselves in . She knows what she's good at, but she's not overly confident. Tilly has insecurities and fears, but she overcomes them and rises to the moment like the best of Starfleet. She is universally beloved by her peers, excellent at her job and is an inspiration to all who cross her path.

Star Trek's Lieutenant Mary Sue Is the Most Misunderstood Character

Star trek: discovery's sonequa martin-green embarks on one final voyage.

While Smith's story is a satire of bad fanfiction, people tend to think what makes it flawed is the Mary Sue character herself . Instead of seeing how the character twists the legacy characters, those who invoke her name today often think the flaw is simply that she's a capable, beloved woman in a sci-fi universe dominated by heroes who are typically men . Since then, this woeful misunderstanding of the trope has evolved like a deadly virus, infecting the discourse of any story where a woman hero takes the lead and saves the day.

The character that's suffered the most from this abuse of the term is from that other "Star" universe. Star Wars ' Rey Skywalker was called "a Mary Sue" from the moment she was able to fly the Millennium Falcon while Finn manned the gunner seat. Yet, if Rey is a Mary Sue, then so is Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker and countless other characters who were awesome from the get-go. But whether one likes the sequel trilogy or not, no definition of "Mary Sue" applies to Rey or Luke or Anakin, for that matter. This is why Discovery 's Sylvia Tilly is the perfect character to reclaim the worthwhile qualities of Lieutenant Mary Sue .

Tilly was born from the need for Star Trek 's women fans to create characters that reflected the heroic ideal of themselves. Tilly does this while still being a well-constructed character with flaws, fears, hopes and triumphs. Through it all, she remains a person who loves Starfleet and what they do. If fans can see something of themselves in her, it's unquestionably a good thing.

Diana Muldaur

• View history

Muldaur had previously appeared in two episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series (" Return to Tomorrow " and " Is There in Truth No Beauty? "), playing two different characters who also held the title of "Doctor." Muldaur filmed her scenes for "Return to Tomorrow" between Monday 20 November 1967 and Tuesday 28 November 1967 at Desilu Stage 9 and Stage 10 , and her scenes for "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" between Tuesday 16 July 1968 and Wednesday 24 July 1968 at Stage 9 and Stage 8.

In 1988 , Muldaur was cast as Dr. Pulaski for the second season of The Next Generation as a replacement for Gates McFadden , the actress who played Beverly Crusher in the first season. McFadden had some sort of falling out with the show's producers, especially Maurice Hurley , and left (or was asked to leave) the show, and Muldaur was brought on board. However, following the end of the second season, the issues with McFadden were resolved and she returned to the series. Muldaur's last appearance as Dr. Pulaski was " Shades of Gray ", the final episode of the second season. On 20 September 1988 Muldaur was interviewed and these interviews were later published on the TNG Season 2 DVD in the special features "Mission Overview Year Two" ("Diana Muldaur", "Gene Roddenberry") and "Selected Crew Analysis Year Two". In these interviews Muldaur told that she had moved into the high desert Sierra Nevada with her husband in 1988 when she got a call to work on The Next Generation and couldn't resist.

Among the props and costumes auctioned off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay were a face mold and her costume from the episode " Unnatural Selection ". [1] [2]

She also co-starred with Carmel in the Fitz and Bones TV movie Terror at Alcatraz in 1982 (which also featured appearances by Elisha Cook , Marc Lawrence , Michael Pataki , and Georgia Schmidt ).

After her tenure as Dr. Pulaski came to an end, Muldaur found herself playing the recurring role of litigator Rosalind Shays on the hit drama L.A. Law , appearing in 24 episodes between 1989 and 1991. She received two Emmy Award nominations for her performance on this series.
