True. Of course, it *could* also just be a statement of determination that she IS going to get there despite her special needs issues, and of awareness that a lot of people have thought that they would mean she wouldn't get far.
"Cadet" Tilly, Kobayashi Maru, and the 25th Century
- Thread starter USS Triumphant
- Start date
That is what it means. Her insignia is that of a fourth-year cadet specializing in engineering or ship's services.
I take it to mean people don't see her as Captain material.
Not sure allergies are the type of thing that stops you from being a Captain.
Maybe Tilly is actually just a 32 year old cadet, due to her issues. Or maybe she's legally 22, but physically 32, due to a relativistic accident like what happened to Yeoman Rand in TOS.
Not sure allergies are the only issue she has, either.
Or maybe she just decided Starfleet was for her later than most.
Tily is a super genius.
Said so in episode three.
Discovery conscripted the kid early because of her crazy math skills.
Yes, yes, Jolene played a woman in her late 60s.
It's called acting!
What else is there? A bit of awkwardness? Over eagerness?
By George, I think you've got it.
We don't know. But since I doubt an allergy to particular bedding would warrant her being quartered alone, I have to think there's something else, too.
Snoring.
The actor and the producers have said she's not autistic, ADD or anything else.
For context, I have an allergy to down. It would make me break out to sleep on/under it, but it wouldn't keep someone on another bed in the same room from using it without causing me any issue.
Okay, maybe. But we're supposed to believe she's the only cadet/crewperson with that problem? My dad served aboard a nuclear sub - pretty sure he'd find that hilarious.

Do you remember Real Genius?
They turned the asshole classmate character's braces (in his mouth) into a radio antenna, and then pretended that they were God, telling him to do "things" to avoid being smote or going to hell.
If Cadet Tilly met Captain Tilly, it was probably a mean prank, no one had the balls to tell her was a prank after three years of constant conversations with her future self.
You know if she is 32, in scene, then she's going to be a hundred before she makes Captain. I can just see her now running around the deck with her walking frame.
If the actress if 32, then the character could be 42.
Sure. If it was Angela Lansbury in 1962
Or maybe there's a actor in her 30s playing a character in her 20s.
Because TV.
Because TV.
