![]() ![]() It also ends in such a way that it could easily serve as a series finale if the circumstances led to the show not being renewed. So, Discovery in the far future won’t be needing to tidy up the ranks.S3E13, the third season finale of Star Trek: Discovery, “That Hope Is You, Part 2” brings the whole season to an intensely exciting and emotional conclusion. Now my theory is that all the department heads will have either stayed behind on the Enterprise or have died off-screen. Commander.Īt any rate, it’s utterly weird, even if you put Burnham as the central character, to never have Burnham interact as Chief Science Officer with her department head peers. That has more to do however with the writers leaving Number One as a First Officer at the rank of Lt. It’s ok in terms of making her Chief of Security on Discovery, but makes no sense In terms of her status on the Enterprise. ![]() What is also odd is that Nahn is a Commander. I love the character, and will be saddened if Culber’s character development pushes her out of sight, but she is definitely not his boss. Commander.īy that, she would have been a more junior colleague to Culber, with another senior physician at the rank of Commander as CMO. I wonder how much Discovery will try to show off Wilson or Anthony’s voice in the future. Nichols got to sing on TOS and Briones got to sing the great closing number for the Picard season finale. Btw love the way Star Trek continues the long standing tradition to cast Broadway singers and actors like Nichols, Cruz, Anthony Rapp and now Isa Briones. In the end, I am much happier that in the 21st century, Cruz is more comfortable voicing his opinions – sometimes vociferously regarding gay politics – than not. I sadly shudder at some of the negativity she would have had to endure during such volatile times, especially if there was anonymous social media. I do also wonder what it would have been like for Nichelle Nichols if she would have so strongly come out for African American rights in 1966 America plus discussed her now well known talk with Dr. That said, I think social and mainstream media plays to the gay narrative so you can’t always blame Cruz. I tend to agree, especially for viewers who are not gay. It’s a great show, but it has some flaws that, if not worked out- will lead to people becoming more and more disinterested. You guys can hit back as hard as you want, but it won’t change my opinion of Discovery. ![]() I don’t think anyone cares about a characters sexuality, as much as what their strengths are. tptb should develop a characters role based on how they contribute the story. I understand that most of tptb, and writers are gay, but Star Trek is a show about space adventures. Why is it so important he be identified as a gay man? How is his sexuality going to make it a better show? Who care’s about who he beds with at night. ![]() I, personally think he was a bad choice for the role. You would never see McCoy, or Crusher emotionally broke down- even when she operated on her son. Even when saving the life of Stamets, there is nothing medically technical in his lines. I, personally don’t swing that way, but you’re right. įor the record, Wilson Cruz was 43 years old in 2017 when Star Trek: Discovery premiered. So, I guess I just let myself look haggard that day. They were more worried about if I looked old enough to be the doctor on Star Trek. I had to put myself on tape…for the studio. I didn’t know they were going to have two!. Once they cast Anthony I thought that was it, that was my chance. However, Cruz revealed the studio did still have a concern before casting him: It feels familiar and it feels like these people have been together for a long time. I think the reason why we work is that we use our actual friendship and love for each other as a foundation. Seeing how he and Rapp were old friends, the studio didn’t feel they needed to do a “chemistry test” with the pair. He was happy to find out that there was still a possible role for him playing Rapp’s partner, Dr. Wilson Cruz, Anthony Rapp, and Jason Isaacs in the season one episode “Into the Forest I Go” Studio needed assurance Cruz could look the partĬruz also talks about how he had always dreamed of being on Star Trek and actively pursued the role which eventually went to Anthony Rapp. ![]()
