1
00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:02.750
This week, Blu del Barrio
and Ian Alexander join me

2
00:00:02.750 --> 00:00:03.980
to talk about the latest episode

3
00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:05.170
of Star Trek: Discovery.

4
00:00:05.170 --> 00:00:07.350
We find out what the heck
that DMA is all about,

5
00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:09.950
we have an exclusive sneak
peek at next week's episode

6
00:00:09.950 --> 00:00:11.240
of Discovery heading your way.

7
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.140
Report to "The Ready
Room" ASAP 'cause all that

8
00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:16.532
and more is happening right now.

9
00:00:24.970 --> 00:00:27.590
Hey, nerds, I'm Wil Wheaton
and this is "The Ready Room,"

10
00:00:27.590 --> 00:00:29.250
your official behind-the-scenes hub

11
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.130
for all things Star Trek universe.

12
00:00:31.130 --> 00:00:32.890
Today, we're taking a
look at the latest episode

13
00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:35.630
of Star Trek: Discovery
called "Choose to Live,"

14
00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:37.250
a nod to my very favorite

15
00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:40.480
Romulan warrior nuns, the Qowat Milat.

16
00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:43.230
As usual, I must follow
the way of absolute candor

17
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.250
and tell you that full spoilers follow

18
00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:47.350
from here on out, so be sure

19
00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:49.870
to watch Episode 3 of Season 4

20
00:00:49.870 --> 00:00:52.760
before joining me back
here for all the details.

21
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:55.963
Please, my friend,
choose not to be spoiled.

22
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.630
This week, we have two very
special guests joining me

23
00:00:59.630 --> 00:01:02.730
right here in the studio, Ian
Alexander and Blu del Barrio

24
00:01:02.730 --> 00:01:05.780
who play Gray and Adira
on Star Trek: Discovery.

25
00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:08.510
Now real quick, before
we get to that interview,

26
00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:10.630
I'm gonna beg your patient indulgence

27
00:01:10.630 --> 00:01:13.550
for a brief personal sidebar.

28
00:01:13.550 --> 00:01:15.310
It is no secret that I have tremendous

29
00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:17.540
respect and admiration
for these two actors.

30
00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:20.620
We share a similar experience as some of

31
00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:25.200
the only young actors
on a Star Trek series,

32
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.280
and it's comforting to me to know that

33
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.580
there are other people in this world

34
00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:33.620
who, in their own way,
also know what it's like

35
00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:35.860
to be a kid in Starfleet.

36
00:01:35.860 --> 00:01:39.550
It is a small club, and it's
pretty cool to be part of it.

37
00:01:39.550 --> 00:01:40.940
At least, it's cool for me.

38
00:01:40.940 --> 00:01:43.170
I do not presume to speak for anyone else

39
00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:45.510
who meets the membership requirements,

40
00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:48.610
but I do want to share how much Adira

41
00:01:48.610 --> 00:01:51.633
specifically means to me, personally.

42
00:01:52.660 --> 00:01:57.490
As an ensign on Discovery,
Adira is everything

43
00:01:57.490 --> 00:02:00.543
I ever hoped Wesley Crusher would be.

44
00:02:01.490 --> 00:02:05.560
Surrounded by extraordinary,
accomplished adults,

45
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:10.560
they are a respected, valued,
trusted member of their crew

46
00:02:10.950 --> 00:02:13.540
and they don't take it for granted.

47
00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:17.730
We get to watch them work
hard to earn and keep it.

48
00:02:17.730 --> 00:02:22.070
Starfleet is better because
they are part of it.

49
00:02:22.070 --> 00:02:24.080
In what I think is my best episode

50
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.310
of The Next Generation, "Final Mission,"

51
00:02:26.310 --> 00:02:30.500
Picard says, "I envy you, Wesley Crusher.

52
00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:34.097
You're just at the
beginning of the adventure."

53
00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:38.650
Now, Patrick was as old to me then

54
00:02:38.650 --> 00:02:41.740
as I am to them now.

55
00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:44.350
I did not know what that meant

56
00:02:44.350 --> 00:02:46.570
when Patrick said that then,

57
00:02:46.570 --> 00:02:48.810
but watching Adira and Gray

58
00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:52.843
begin their adventure right now, I do.

59
00:02:53.810 --> 00:02:58.753
I get it, and that, it's pretty cool too.

60
00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:01.740
Thank you for your patient indulgence.

61
00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:05.110
We now return you to "The Ready
Room," already in progress.

62
00:03:05.110 --> 00:03:06.290
As you can probably tell,

63
00:03:06.290 --> 00:03:08.660
I am beyond excited for this interview.

64
00:03:08.660 --> 00:03:10.450
It is going to be wonderful,

65
00:03:10.450 --> 00:03:12.730
and of course, that is not all.

66
00:03:12.730 --> 00:03:13.850
A little later, we'll also have

67
00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:15.970
an all-new, exclusive
clip to share with you

68
00:03:15.970 --> 00:03:18.940
from next week's episode
of Star Trek: Discovery,

69
00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:21.200
but first, we have an official name

70
00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:23.210
for the anomaly that is wreaking havoc

71
00:03:23.210 --> 00:03:25.010
on our beloved Discovery crew,

72
00:03:25.010 --> 00:03:27.870
the DMA or "dark matter anomaly."

73
00:03:27.870 --> 00:03:29.720
Thank you very much, Paul Stamets.

74
00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:30.840
What do you say we check in with

75
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.060
some of the cast and
creators for the lowdown

76
00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:35.460
on Season 4's mysterious threat.

77
00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:37.763
Control room! Engage.

78
00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:40.870
We jumped ahead to this future

79
00:03:40.870 --> 00:03:43.080
to save the universe from Control,

80
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.040
and now the Federation is back.

81
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:47.450
Starfleet Academy has opened again.

82
00:03:47.450 --> 00:03:49.500
Things are thriving again.

83
00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:52.239
We're rebuilding, and
now here comes this DMA,

84
00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:54.970
you know? And I just remember, as Burnham,

85
00:03:54.970 --> 00:03:57.600
thinking, you gotta be kidding me.

86
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:00.240
Here we are again with this huge threat

87
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.773
that could wipe us all out.

88
00:04:07.910 --> 00:04:10.180
The DMA, "dark matter anomaly,"

89
00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:12.751
too much of a mouthful to say every time.

90
00:04:12.751 --> 00:04:13.584
Right.

91
00:04:13.584 --> 00:04:15.230
As we see in our current world,

92
00:04:15.230 --> 00:04:17.200
you always try to find names for things.

93
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:18.690
If there's something happening,

94
00:04:18.690 --> 00:04:20.580
the scientists and the government people,

95
00:04:20.580 --> 00:04:22.760
they always try to find
some way to name it.

96
00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:25.830
I think that helps you feel
some sense of power over it,

97
00:04:25.830 --> 00:04:29.560
and this thing is so
powerful in and of itself

98
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.940
that I think anything you can do

99
00:04:30.940 --> 00:04:34.830
to try to do that is
helpful because it's--

100
00:04:34.830 --> 00:04:38.730
it's this chaotic, enormous
cloud sort of thing

101
00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:41.460
that gobbles up whatever's around it.

102
00:04:41.460 --> 00:04:45.002
The DMA anomaly is a gravitational force

103
00:04:45.002 --> 00:04:47.480
that can wreak havoc
throughout the galaxy.

104
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.350
It can smash planets. It can smash suns.

105
00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:52.333
It can destroy solar systems,

106
00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:56.800
and it creates this
accretion disc around it

107
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.270
that is just flinging all of
these things it destroyed,

108
00:04:59.270 --> 00:05:01.930
planets, solar systems, and it's

109
00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:06.050
the Discovery crew's mission
to identify what this is,

110
00:05:06.050 --> 00:05:08.280
to hunt it down and to stop it.

111
00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:11.513
We gathered this data in
order to predict its path.

112
00:05:12.661 --> 00:05:14.303
Are you saying we cannot do that?

113
00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:16.230
No, sir, we can't.

114
00:05:16.230 --> 00:05:17.750
It's totally unpredictable.

115
00:05:17.750 --> 00:05:20.100
You know, I think that we have a case

116
00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:21.800
in our current world
that we're living through

117
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.200
that there's something happening

118
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:24.340
that we don't know where it came from

119
00:05:24.340 --> 00:05:25.340
or why it came from, exactly.

120
00:05:25.340 --> 00:05:28.400
We have theories, but it
still is wreaking havoc.

121
00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:29.240
Lives are at stake.

122
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.830
- Your emotional response
to factual analysis

123
00:05:31.830 --> 00:05:33.470
is quite illogical.

124
00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:36.250
Present day themes, present day events,

125
00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:37.360
all of those sorts of things are

126
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.810
just sort of baked into Trek, and so,

127
00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:42.960
in conceiving of the season,
this thing was out there,

128
00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:45.460
and it felt like it was
having such an impact

129
00:05:45.460 --> 00:05:47.780
on our own psyches and the greater world,

130
00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:49.520
that it felt like something natural

131
00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:50.353
that we would treat and that

132
00:05:50.353 --> 00:05:51.250
we would talk about on Trek.

133
00:05:51.250 --> 00:05:53.810
So, we looked at that and then looked at

134
00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:55.690
what is our version of that,

135
00:05:55.690 --> 00:05:59.640
and obviously, we didn't want
to do a one-to-one with COVID.

136
00:05:59.640 --> 00:06:01.210
We didn't wanna tell the COVID season

137
00:06:01.210 --> 00:06:02.240
'cause we're all living through it.

138
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.940
No one wants to watch that.

139
00:06:03.940 --> 00:06:06.440
Trek is always built on hope and optimism

140
00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:09.170
and coming together and
we can overcome anything,

141
00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:12.790
and so, how do we infuse
that into this story as well?

142
00:06:12.790 --> 00:06:15.900
So, how do we take the big
thing that no one understands?

143
00:06:15.900 --> 00:06:17.150
We don't even know what it is.

144
00:06:17.150 --> 00:06:18.780
We don't know what to do about it.

145
00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:21.570
How do we, step by step,
start to identify it,

146
00:06:21.570 --> 00:06:23.170
figure out what it is and come together

147
00:06:23.170 --> 00:06:24.490
to help solve the problem?

148
00:06:24.490 --> 00:06:27.520
I love what the writers
have done with the DMA,

149
00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:29.650
and I love the symbolism there,

150
00:06:29.650 --> 00:06:34.300
and I love that, the art
imitating life of it.

151
00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:35.560
We've gotta figure it out.

152
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.061
Yet again, we have to come together

153
00:06:37.061 --> 00:06:42.010
and I do love how you see everyone

154
00:06:42.010 --> 00:06:45.230
on this ship rising to the occasion.

155
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:48.460
A big part of this show is the discovery

156
00:06:48.460 --> 00:06:52.610
of who we are and we are to each other,

157
00:06:52.610 --> 00:06:54.340
and what our roles really are,

158
00:06:54.340 --> 00:06:56.950
and you see that with this DMA.

159
00:06:56.950 --> 00:06:58.430
You see everyone rising.

160
00:06:58.430 --> 00:07:01.900
You see everyone cementing more and more

161
00:07:01.900 --> 00:07:03.760
into who they're destined to be

162
00:07:03.760 --> 00:07:05.540
because of the hardship
of it all, you know,

163
00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:08.340
and because of the unity it necessitates.

164
00:07:08.340 --> 00:07:09.720
We are going to make damn sure

165
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.887
nothing like this happens
again, not on our watch.

166
00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.341
Not on our watch.

167
00:07:25.940 --> 00:07:29.360
I am now sitting with two
exceptional young actors,

168
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.820
Blu del Barrio and Ian Alexander.

169
00:07:31.820 --> 00:07:33.540
They're here to talk
about their characters,

170
00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:36.610
Adira and Gray from Star Trek: Discovery.

171
00:07:36.610 --> 00:07:39.470
Thank you both so much for joining me

172
00:07:39.470 --> 00:07:40.810
here in "The Ready Room."

173
00:07:40.810 --> 00:07:42.900
It is so awesome to see both of you.

174
00:07:42.900 --> 00:07:46.994
- It's so nice to see us.
- Thanks for having us.

175
00:07:46.994 --> 00:07:50.070
The last time I saw you,
we were at Star Trek Day.

176
00:07:50.070 --> 00:07:53.070
That was also the first time
we had been in person together.

177
00:07:54.448 --> 00:07:56.150
Is it as cool for you as it is for me

178
00:07:56.150 --> 00:07:58.200
that we're in the same place again?

179
00:07:58.200 --> 00:07:59.033
Definitely.

180
00:07:59.033 --> 00:08:00.259
- [Wil] It's pretty great, right?

181
00:08:00.259 --> 00:08:01.092
- Yeah, in the flesh.

182
00:08:01.092 --> 00:08:03.890
I know, and I love so much

183
00:08:03.890 --> 00:08:05.488
that you're wearing the pin I gave you.

184
00:08:05.488 --> 00:08:07.460
I had to.

185
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:09.300
It just means so much to me.

186
00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:10.528
I just think it's awesome.

187
00:08:10.528 --> 00:08:11.539
I was so excited this morning.

188
00:08:11.539 --> 00:08:12.938
I was, like, where's the pin?

189
00:08:12.938 --> 00:08:15.068
- [Wil] Oh, that is
great. That is super cool.

190
00:08:15.068 --> 00:08:16.476
- Still so excited.

191
00:08:16.476 --> 00:08:18.780
Let's get to it, and I'm
gonna start with you, Ian.

192
00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:22.960
This season is huge for Gray.

193
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:25.090
Picking up from Season 3, he is now

194
00:08:25.090 --> 00:08:27.600
in a corporeal body.

195
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.210
Other people can see him.
This is very exciting.

196
00:08:30.210 --> 00:08:32.780
Michelle Paradise has talked about

197
00:08:32.780 --> 00:08:35.050
how Gray's arc is, in some ways,

198
00:08:35.050 --> 00:08:37.437
a metaphor for the trans experience.

199
00:08:37.437 --> 00:08:39.740
Would you talk about that a little bit,

200
00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.510
and about what Gray's story means to you?

201
00:08:42.510 --> 00:08:44.180
Yeah, of course.

202
00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:46.600
I think that Gray's physical transition

203
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.017
into a new body is very much like

204
00:08:48.017 --> 00:08:51.390
my own physical transition
in my gender identity.

205
00:08:51.390 --> 00:08:54.840
So, Adira is kind of the only person

206
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.080
that understands and sees him at first,

207
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.540
and it can feel that
way when you're, like,

208
00:08:58.540 --> 00:09:01.610
first coming out to a loved one as trans,

209
00:09:01.610 --> 00:09:03.890
and then slowly, the more you become

210
00:09:03.890 --> 00:09:06.000
comfortable with your body,
the more you feel okay

211
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.280
talking to other people about your gender.

212
00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:11.017
So, I think that's a really
direct metaphor for Gray

213
00:09:11.017 --> 00:09:13.640
in the physical, like, literal sense.

214
00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:14.473
- [Wil] Yeah.

215
00:09:14.473 --> 00:09:16.170
And I'm really excited for everyone

216
00:09:16.170 --> 00:09:17.850
to be able to see him,

217
00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:18.930
- Yeah.

218
00:09:18.930 --> 00:09:19.870
- for who he really is.

219
00:09:19.870 --> 00:09:22.530
There's--I'm a cis het white guy,

220
00:09:22.530 --> 00:09:25.810
so I'm just presuming, but I feel like

221
00:09:25.810 --> 00:09:28.448
you are providing representation

222
00:09:28.448 --> 00:09:32.565
for a lot of people

223
00:09:32.565 --> 00:09:36.040
who have never been represented at all.

224
00:09:37.478 --> 00:09:39.230
Do you think about that at all?

225
00:09:39.230 --> 00:09:41.430
I really do, especially
when I get messages

226
00:09:41.430 --> 00:09:43.610
from, like, young teens
or, like, young people

227
00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:45.560
who are, you know, coming to terms

228
00:09:45.560 --> 00:09:47.080
with their identity as being trans,

229
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.659
and they say, like, hey,
like seeing you as Gray

230
00:09:49.659 --> 00:09:51.650
on my television screen helped me

231
00:09:51.650 --> 00:09:53.550
come out to my family
or it helped me, like,

232
00:09:53.550 --> 00:09:55.120
you know, have a conversation

233
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.877
with my mom about my gender,
like, things like that.

234
00:09:56.877 --> 00:09:59.580
It was really touching
'cause I know how important

235
00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:01.410
that was for me as a young teenager

236
00:10:01.410 --> 00:10:03.870
to see people that
looked like me on screen,

237
00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:05.600
and I didn't--when I was 14,

238
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.870
like I didn't really
have other trans people

239
00:10:07.870 --> 00:10:09.420
that were visible on TV shows.

240
00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:11.319
It was more of just, like, social media.

241
00:10:11.319 --> 00:10:12.152
- Uh-huh.

242
00:10:12.152 --> 00:10:14.250
So, it makes me really
happy that, you know,

243
00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:16.510
families can come together
and watch Discovery

244
00:10:16.510 --> 00:10:20.550
and see two trans people on the screen.

245
00:10:20.550 --> 00:10:23.970
Fans have pointed out, especially

246
00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:28.410
in the LGBTQ community, that the stories

247
00:10:28.410 --> 00:10:30.780
that are being told about Adira and Gray

248
00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:33.400
really center trans characters

249
00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:38.400
without it being like
a coming-out narrative

250
00:10:38.990 --> 00:10:42.690
or a struggling to find acceptance

251
00:10:42.690 --> 00:10:45.530
or a struggling to come to an
acceptance of their identity

252
00:10:45.530 --> 00:10:46.640
kind of situation.

253
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:48.919
They're just people who are existing

254
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.590
in the future together.

255
00:10:51.590 --> 00:10:55.730
Do I have that right, and if I do,

256
00:10:55.730 --> 00:10:57.503
how does that resonate with you?

257
00:10:58.530 --> 00:11:01.960
Yeah, I would say that's,
that feels really spot on.

258
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.400
I think we get, well, I
think we get to do that

259
00:11:05.400 --> 00:11:08.160
because it is Star Trek,

260
00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:11.940
and because we get to
be like, in a universe

261
00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:15.970
kind of of our own creation,
like the stuff that's not,

262
00:11:15.970 --> 00:11:18.490
you know, most of the stuff that you see

263
00:11:18.490 --> 00:11:20.710
about the trans experience on TV

264
00:11:20.710 --> 00:11:22.590
or in movies, especially
in older TV and movies

265
00:11:22.590 --> 00:11:26.020
is like trauma, hardship
with family, death,

266
00:11:26.020 --> 00:11:27.950
all surrounding that, but
because we're in this,

267
00:11:27.950 --> 00:11:30.830
kind of like fantastical universe,

268
00:11:30.830 --> 00:11:33.600
even rather than seeing someone, you know,

269
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.300
just transition, like

270
00:11:35.300 --> 00:11:36.550
you normally would in real life,

271
00:11:36.550 --> 00:11:39.960
this picture of you going

272
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.480
and picking your own body,

273
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.110
like the body that you're gonna have

274
00:11:45.110 --> 00:11:48.150
is so--it's it, but
it's different in a way

275
00:11:48.150 --> 00:11:50.300
that is so beautiful.

276
00:11:50.300 --> 00:11:52.590
The thing that you do, like, picking out,

277
00:11:52.590 --> 00:11:54.920
like, the mole that you want to take off

278
00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:58.360
is my absolute favorite
part of this whole episode

279
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.250
'cause it's so, like,
it's just--it's perfect.

280
00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:04.680
Like, it hurts my heart 'cause it's like,

281
00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:06.700
yeah, no, I just like, this is my thing.

282
00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:08.950
I wanna do it, how I wanna feel.

283
00:12:08.950 --> 00:12:11.280
Gray has agency over
his body, and I think...

284
00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:12.113
- He does.

285
00:12:12.113 --> 00:12:13.220
- A lot of trans people feel like

286
00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:14.810
our agency is taken away from us.

287
00:12:14.810 --> 00:12:16.740
So, that's what I love about this episode

288
00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:19.040
and about our narratives in Star Trek

289
00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:21.350
is that we have agency over who we are

290
00:12:21.350 --> 00:12:23.570
and, like, who we get to interact with.

291
00:12:23.570 --> 00:12:25.003
Let's talk about Adira.

292
00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:28.360
They were so standoffish in Season 3,

293
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.960
and it felt really
appropriate to me, right.

294
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.010
It felt like, "I don't know
you!" Right? Like, right,

295
00:12:35.010 --> 00:12:38.070
and I think that was, like
that was super appropriate,

296
00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:40.310
but they are really
breaking out of their shell.

297
00:12:40.310 --> 00:12:43.027
This season, they go on their
very first away mission.

298
00:12:43.027 --> 00:12:43.860
Yeah.

299
00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:46.760
I remember when Wesley went
on his first away mission,

300
00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:49.590
how unbelievably excited I was to be like,

301
00:12:49.590 --> 00:12:51.570
"Really? I get to, like,
ride on a transporter

302
00:12:51.570 --> 00:12:53.920
and I get to leave the ship
and I get to get, like--"

303
00:12:53.920 --> 00:12:55.450
did you do all that stuff?

304
00:12:55.450 --> 00:12:56.810
Did you go through all of that?

305
00:12:56.810 --> 00:12:59.900
Like, I'm on the away team,
like, it's cool, right?

306
00:12:59.900 --> 00:13:01.830
It felt, yeah, it was really nice,

307
00:13:01.830 --> 00:13:04.880
I think especially 'cause
I was doing it with Mary.

308
00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:08.900
It was like, especially--

309
00:13:08.900 --> 00:13:11.470
not not as serious, but Mary, like,

310
00:13:11.470 --> 00:13:13.950
would really, like, take the
piss out of it with me, like...

311
00:13:13.950 --> 00:13:14.783
- Sure.

312
00:13:14.783 --> 00:13:17.560
- It was just, it made
it very, like, seamless

313
00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:20.869
and feel smooth kind of
until I was like, oh,

314
00:13:20.869 --> 00:13:23.730
we're like away away, like
until we were actually on-set.

315
00:13:23.730 --> 00:13:25.550
Until, I was like, oh,
this is very different.

316
00:13:25.550 --> 00:13:26.383
- Yeah.

317
00:13:27.358 --> 00:13:28.758
Yeah, doing it with Mary made it, like,

318
00:13:28.758 --> 00:13:30.790
a million times more fun.

319
00:13:30.790 --> 00:13:32.170
I feel like it would be impossible

320
00:13:32.170 --> 00:13:33.620
to be on an away mission with Mary

321
00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:37.756
and not just have nothing but fun.

322
00:13:37.756 --> 00:13:38.940
It's really nice.

323
00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:40.120
Yeah, it would be like me being

324
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.340
on an away mission with Frakes.

325
00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:43.280
Like, it's just like, do we ever have to

326
00:13:43.280 --> 00:13:44.810
go back to the ship?

327
00:13:44.810 --> 00:13:45.643
Yeah, if I ever took a moment to be like,

328
00:13:45.643 --> 00:13:47.600
"This is so special,
I'm on an away mission,"

329
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:48.820
Mary would be like [raspberry blowing].

330
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:50.770
Like, I fully like, I would not have

331
00:13:50.770 --> 00:13:52.470
been able to take it seriously.

332
00:13:52.470 --> 00:13:55.289
Like, she wouldn't have
let me, but I love that.

333
00:13:55.289 --> 00:13:57.880
I wanna talk about the two of y'all

334
00:13:57.880 --> 00:14:00.660
being able to have scenes together now

335
00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:04.010
that are going to involve more interaction

336
00:14:04.010 --> 00:14:07.493
and involve other crew
members and things like that.

337
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.200
What does it mean, this is an

338
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.230
open-ended question to both of you.

339
00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:12.490
I don't know, either of
you can answer first.

340
00:14:12.490 --> 00:14:16.200
What does it mean to you
now that Gray and Adira

341
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.120
are together and they can
be, like, a real couple?

342
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.440
Like, they can have that fulfillment

343
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.070
that maybe wasn't there before

344
00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:28.343
Gray was incorporated into his body.

345
00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:32.730
What are your thoughts on that?

346
00:14:32.730 --> 00:14:34.510
I think it brings, like, a new level

347
00:14:34.510 --> 00:14:37.520
of vulnerability to Gray
and Adira's relationship

348
00:14:37.520 --> 00:14:38.833
'cause they're already, like, so intimate,

349
00:14:38.833 --> 00:14:41.420
like being a part of
each other essentially.

350
00:14:41.420 --> 00:14:42.460
- Yeah, yeah.

351
00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:44.700
But then, like, being physically present,

352
00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:47.187
it's like, now everyone else can see me,

353
00:14:47.187 --> 00:14:48.950
and that brings kinda like this new level.

354
00:14:48.950 --> 00:14:51.964
It's like we're leveling
up our relationship.

355
00:14:53.370 --> 00:14:54.203
Yeah.

356
00:14:54.203 --> 00:14:57.320
How do you think it affected, like,

357
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.850
Adira's feelings of
anxiety, maybe about Gray?

358
00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:03.440
Yeah, it didn't, like,

359
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.110
start to hit me as much
until we started filming it,

360
00:15:06.110 --> 00:15:07.800
until we started, like,
getting to the point

361
00:15:07.800 --> 00:15:11.230
where like, okay, you are,
you have fully incorporated.

362
00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:13.150
You are, okay, no, people
are looking at you.

363
00:15:13.150 --> 00:15:14.060
They can see you and you can

364
00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:16.600
interact with them without me

365
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.180
was suddenly like, oh
no, they're terrified.

366
00:15:19.180 --> 00:15:21.340
No, that's terrifying,
that's so terrifying.

367
00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:24.270
They're immediately, their worst fear

368
00:15:24.270 --> 00:15:25.470
is now they're gonna lose Gray

369
00:15:25.470 --> 00:15:26.920
because Gray is able to leave.

370
00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:29.657
Like, that hit me when
we started filming it.

371
00:15:29.657 --> 00:15:31.305
- Oh, I never would have thought that,

372
00:15:31.305 --> 00:15:32.138
oh, that's so interesting.

373
00:15:32.138 --> 00:15:34.250
- It was, and I don't know if it's, like,

374
00:15:34.250 --> 00:15:38.407
a mixture of, like, sort
of something like selfish

375
00:15:38.407 --> 00:15:40.800
to wanna keep Gray to themselves,

376
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:43.590
but also, like, comfort in that

377
00:15:43.590 --> 00:15:45.250
we've been like this for a year,

378
00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:49.180
this kind of only being able to see you,

379
00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:54.180
and you only being able to
exist, like, in my mind's eye.

380
00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:56.970
It has been a whole
year of existence which,

381
00:15:56.970 --> 00:15:58.170
you know, they're still young.

382
00:15:58.170 --> 00:16:01.343
So, to suddenly be like, oh
no, that's up in the air now.

383
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:03.800
It's fully your decision now...

384
00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:04.633
- Yeah.

385
00:16:04.633 --> 00:16:05.810
- was scary, yeah.

386
00:16:05.810 --> 00:16:07.560
- If Gray dies, he dies.

387
00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:09.300
- He dies-dies, yeah.

388
00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:10.133
- Yeah.

389
00:16:10.133 --> 00:16:13.145
Wow, well thanks for
putting that into my head.

390
00:16:13.145 --> 00:16:15.500
I really appreciate it.

391
00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:17.040
- Well, hopefully that won't happen.

392
00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:20.280
- That's some existential
weight I really needed

393
00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:22.620
to carry around for the
entirety of this season.

394
00:16:22.620 --> 00:16:24.343
I deeply appreciate it.

395
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.530
But, on a positive note, like,

396
00:16:28.530 --> 00:16:30.510
they can, like, hug and, like...

397
00:16:30.510 --> 00:16:31.343
- Yeah!

398
00:16:31.343 --> 00:16:33.070
- Be, like, physically intimate and, like,

399
00:16:33.070 --> 00:16:36.200
have that actually be
perceived by other people.

400
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:37.040
So like, I know...

401
00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:38.975
- You might die, but we can hug.

402
00:16:38.975 --> 00:16:39.832
- Yeah.

403
00:16:39.832 --> 00:16:41.970
- So, it's good.
- You win some, you lose some.

404
00:16:41.970 --> 00:16:43.650
- Everything has its risks, right?

405
00:16:43.650 --> 00:16:44.483
- Yeah.

406
00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:47.460
You have finished Season 4.

407
00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:50.120
I can't believe y'all
are done with Season 4.

408
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.280
Did it--for me, a season always felt like,

409
00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:56.230
wow, that was 10 years and
it was also five minutes.

410
00:16:56.230 --> 00:16:58.930
Did, did you have a
similar kind of experience?

411
00:16:58.930 --> 00:17:01.220
At least, I don't know
if you feel the same,

412
00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.960
but this one felt
definitely like 10 years,

413
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.240
maybe not five minutes.

414
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.073
- Okay.

415
00:17:05.073 --> 00:17:05.906
- This one felt, I think
because of the COVID.

416
00:17:05.906 --> 00:17:08.370
- Because of COVID, it
definitely felt a lot longer.

417
00:17:08.370 --> 00:17:09.867
- It was long, yeah, but...

418
00:17:09.867 --> 00:17:12.940
- I feel like I aged, like, five years.

419
00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:14.907
- Yeah, I think just 'cause, like,

420
00:17:14.907 --> 00:17:17.270
and like, especially
us and Wilson are like

421
00:17:17.270 --> 00:17:19.200
isolated where we were living.

422
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.620
So, it just felt like
a super long stretch.

423
00:17:22.620 --> 00:17:24.940
There was just a lot of
time just spent, like,

424
00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:27.144
in my hotel room alone, trying to,

425
00:17:27.144 --> 00:17:29.963
I don't know, watch new shows or, like,

426
00:17:29.963 --> 00:17:32.520
making a lotta TikToks, like,

427
00:17:32.520 --> 00:17:34.420
keeping myself busy somehow.

428
00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:38.690
So, your season is over. You know.

429
00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:40.250
Nobody else does, but you know

430
00:17:40.250 --> 00:17:42.253
what the arc is and all that stuff.

431
00:17:43.930 --> 00:17:45.670
Let's stay away from spoilers,

432
00:17:45.670 --> 00:17:48.600
but do you have a favorite
moment from the season

433
00:17:48.600 --> 00:17:50.960
that either of you
would like to talk about

434
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:55.483
as obliquely or specifically as necessary?

435
00:17:56.425 --> 00:17:57.670
Oh no.

436
00:17:57.670 --> 00:17:59.923
I, okay, I'm going to be
really vague with this.

437
00:17:59.923 --> 00:18:02.420
I really love, like, the
chosen family dynamic

438
00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:05.660
between Adira and Gray
and Culber and Stamets.

439
00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:07.710
Like, there's just so
many beautiful moments

440
00:18:07.710 --> 00:18:09.560
between that little chosen family unit.

441
00:18:09.560 --> 00:18:10.730
I'm so happy to hear you say that

442
00:18:10.730 --> 00:18:13.400
because it is one of my
absolute favorite dynamics,

443
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:15.280
and one of my favorite parts of Discovery.

444
00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:18.060
Like, like, super hard core, yeah,

445
00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:19.540
I'm really happy to hear that and I know

446
00:18:19.540 --> 00:18:22.070
I speak for a lot of people in
the audience when I say that.

447
00:18:22.070 --> 00:18:23.584
What do you think, Blu?

448
00:18:23.584 --> 00:18:26.800
I have, like, a specific moment,

449
00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:29.230
but I don't wanna--can I
be super vague about it

450
00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:30.570
so that if people see it later, like,

451
00:18:30.570 --> 00:18:32.270
oh, I think that's what it was?

452
00:18:32.270 --> 00:18:35.590
Be as vague as you want.
Be as specific as you want.

453
00:18:35.590 --> 00:18:37.670
We will censor things as necessary.

454
00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:40.803
This is your moment. You take this.

455
00:18:40.803 --> 00:18:42.750
I don't wanna put a
lot of pressure on you,

456
00:18:42.750 --> 00:18:46.024
but like, the eyes of the
world are upon you right now...

457
00:18:46.024 --> 00:18:46.857
- Good.

458
00:18:46.857 --> 00:18:48.115
- and it is entirely your call.

459
00:18:48.115 --> 00:18:51.610
Okay, the, you'll know
what I'm talking about.

460
00:18:51.610 --> 00:18:56.570
It was between us and it
was, it was very short,

461
00:18:56.570 --> 00:18:59.500
and it's a very, like, we don't speak,

462
00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:03.093
and it's a very, like, artistic
little thing that we did,

463
00:19:04.110 --> 00:19:06.010
when I was given something.

464
00:19:06.010 --> 00:19:06.843
- Oh yeah.

465
00:19:06.843 --> 00:19:07.676
- Okay.

466
00:19:07.676 --> 00:19:08.903
- Yeah.

467
00:19:09.820 --> 00:19:14.307
I wish you at home could
have watched Ian's face...

468
00:19:16.090 --> 00:19:16.923
- When I realized...

469
00:19:16.923 --> 00:19:21.580
- as he put together
what--that was beautiful.

470
00:19:22.510 --> 00:19:26.110
Watching you go, what was--I remember.

471
00:19:26.110 --> 00:19:27.640
Aw, I'm so glad I

472
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:28.595
- got to witness that.
- I got to the last one,

473
00:19:28.595 --> 00:19:30.243
and I was like, they're not with me.

474
00:19:30.243 --> 00:19:32.470
- I watched it happen. That was so cool.

475
00:19:32.470 --> 00:19:33.350
- That's so sweet.

476
00:19:33.350 --> 00:19:35.843
That's my favorite. It's
super short, and it's yeah,

477
00:19:35.843 --> 00:19:37.144
I really--I like it a lot.

478
00:19:37.144 --> 00:19:39.750
It just felt different
than everything else.

479
00:19:39.750 --> 00:19:42.410
I wanna say one thing before we wrap up

480
00:19:43.810 --> 00:19:45.780
that might be a little awkward and weird,

481
00:19:45.780 --> 00:19:49.380
and I don't, I don't mean this
to come off the wrong way.

482
00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:52.750
I have to keep reminding myself

483
00:19:52.750 --> 00:19:55.450
that I am so much older
than the two of you

484
00:19:55.450 --> 00:19:58.800
because you are so incredibly wise

485
00:19:58.800 --> 00:20:02.910
and so graceful and just, like,

486
00:20:02.910 --> 00:20:06.330
the voice that you use and
the way that you use it

487
00:20:06.330 --> 00:20:10.100
is just such a pleasure to witness

488
00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:14.910
and Star Trek is real lucky
to have the two of you,

489
00:20:14.910 --> 00:20:17.520
and Star Trek is going to be saying that

490
00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:19.030
for a really long time.

491
00:20:19.030 --> 00:20:23.310
So, I'm really excited to see
the rest of you on this season

492
00:20:23.310 --> 00:20:25.310
and everything that you do,

493
00:20:25.310 --> 00:20:28.470
and thank you so much for
coming into "The Ready Room,"

494
00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:30.260
and sharing physical space with me.

495
00:20:30.260 --> 00:20:31.370
- Yay!

496
00:20:31.370 --> 00:20:32.953
- Thank you, Wil.
- Thank you.

497
00:20:32.953 --> 00:20:34.753
- It's such an honor.
- This was so nice.

498
00:20:51.330 --> 00:20:54.160
So by now, I imagine most
of you have figured out

499
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:56.560
your pal Wil Wheaton
loves a good lapel pin.

500
00:20:56.560 --> 00:20:58.530
Like The Dude's rug, it really ties

501
00:20:58.530 --> 00:21:00.330
the whole outfit together,

502
00:21:00.330 --> 00:21:02.060
and you know who agrees with me?

503
00:21:02.060 --> 00:21:06.640
Mr. Saru. I love his elder pin so much.

504
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.737
It's like his own version
of Worf's bandolier,

505
00:21:09.737 --> 00:21:11.910
Kira's earring or Kayshon's dagger,

506
00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:13.990
and now, we have actor Doug Jones

507
00:21:13.990 --> 00:21:16.400
and prop master Mario Moreira to tell us

508
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.110
all about Saru's new,
striking bit of bling

509
00:21:19.110 --> 00:21:20.400
and how it was made.

510
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.800
Check this out.

511
00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:23.060
That's beautiful.

512
00:21:23.060 --> 00:21:26.445
It's the Kelpien symbol
for community, isn't it?

513
00:21:26.445 --> 00:21:28.080
Community and service.

514
00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:31.480
It signifies my status as
a councilor in my village.

515
00:21:38.800 --> 00:21:40.570
I actually do love the new uniforms

516
00:21:40.570 --> 00:21:41.403
that we have this year.

517
00:21:41.403 --> 00:21:44.750
With my special pin I have over here,

518
00:21:44.750 --> 00:21:46.890
that is my tether to home for sure,

519
00:21:46.890 --> 00:21:48.580
and I'm really glad that Starfleet let me

520
00:21:48.580 --> 00:21:51.490
wear that with my uniform in addition

521
00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:52.743
to my Starfleet badge.

522
00:21:53.592 --> 00:21:57.170
Saru's Kaminar Council pin is actually

523
00:21:57.170 --> 00:21:59.830
very reminiscent of Worf's bandolier.

524
00:21:59.830 --> 00:22:03.260
We actually discussed that
when we started designing it,

525
00:22:03.260 --> 00:22:06.350
is whether we could
actually wear other items

526
00:22:06.350 --> 00:22:09.420
from other cultures while
wearing the Starfleet uniform,

527
00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:12.420
and the Klingon piece that
Worf wears was discussed,

528
00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:15.630
so--as an antecedent to
what we could do here.

529
00:22:15.630 --> 00:22:18.280
You'll find Saru, oftentimes,
like, with his arms folded,

530
00:22:18.280 --> 00:22:20.460
kind of giving it a little bit of a stroke

531
00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:25.460
because he is so fond of his
home and he longs for it.

532
00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:26.410
Lieutenant.

533
00:22:26.410 --> 00:22:28.690
And the pin itself is a gorgeous brooch

534
00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:30.890
that really resembles kind of the,

535
00:22:30.890 --> 00:22:33.170
I would say the art direction,
the production design

536
00:22:33.170 --> 00:22:34.610
of the home planet, Kaminar.

537
00:22:34.610 --> 00:22:36.171
It's got that very organic sort of

538
00:22:36.171 --> 00:22:41.171
rooty, viny, kelpy, you
know, sea vegetation thing

539
00:22:41.243 --> 00:22:44.010
with a nice, you know, gemstone in it.

540
00:22:44.010 --> 00:22:46.340
At this point in their history,

541
00:22:46.340 --> 00:22:49.270
the Ba'ul culture and the Kelpien culture

542
00:22:49.270 --> 00:22:52.310
have immersed and have
started to work together.

543
00:22:52.310 --> 00:22:55.570
So, that was part of the design language

544
00:22:55.570 --> 00:22:57.040
for the council pin.

545
00:22:57.040 --> 00:23:00.870
There's the Ba'ul monolith intermingled

546
00:23:00.870 --> 00:23:02.780
with the Kelpien sun and then,

547
00:23:02.780 --> 00:23:06.300
sorta these cool flary
arms were reminiscent

548
00:23:06.300 --> 00:23:07.910
of the way the Kelpiens move

549
00:23:07.910 --> 00:23:11.710
and their sort of water, fluid language.

550
00:23:11.710 --> 00:23:13.510
It's just a lovely reminder that

551
00:23:13.510 --> 00:23:15.100
he's got a dual life now.

552
00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:17.250
He's very beholden to Starfleet

553
00:23:17.250 --> 00:23:19.890
and his sense of duty
there has never faded,

554
00:23:19.890 --> 00:23:23.780
but his sense of home
and nostalgia and family

555
00:23:23.780 --> 00:23:26.040
and all that tethers him to home

556
00:23:26.040 --> 00:23:28.110
is still very, very present as well.

557
00:23:28.110 --> 00:23:32.830
One cannot have all the lives one desires.

558
00:23:32.830 --> 00:23:36.102
A choice is always necessary.

559
00:24:05.250 --> 00:24:09.820
My mind to your mind, my
thoughts to your thoughts,

560
00:24:09.820 --> 00:24:11.900
yes, we are thinking the same thing.

561
00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:13.160
It's time for an exclusive clip

562
00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.140
from next week's episode of Discovery.

563
00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.973
Let's watch.

564
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.521
Lieutenant Tilly, Ensign Tal.

565
00:24:19.521 --> 00:24:22.180
Welcome back to Starfleet Academy.

566
00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:23.920
Thank you, sir, it's an absolute honor.

567
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.150
I honestly never thought I'd be asked

568
00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:27.440
to do anything like this.

569
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.580
I was the kid in class who
was asked to stop talking,

570
00:24:30.580 --> 00:24:32.790
front row, hand up, that's me.

571
00:24:32.790 --> 00:24:36.360
Ensign Tal, you'll be on Shuttlecraft 11.

572
00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:38.980
The other cadets are waiting there.

573
00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:40.630
Why don't you introduce yourself?

574
00:24:41.850 --> 00:24:43.770
Yes, sir. Sounds good.

575
00:24:45.190 --> 00:24:47.480
Thank you for letting
me bring Adira along.

576
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.820
Dr. Culber thought it could be beneficial.

577
00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:50.900
They could use a little work in

578
00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:52.870
the team-building department.

579
00:24:52.870 --> 00:24:54.150
It's a problem we're seeing

580
00:24:54.150 --> 00:24:56.033
with all of our Starfleet cadets.

581
00:24:57.328 --> 00:24:59.300
That's why I'm consulting.

582
00:24:59.300 --> 00:25:01.770
They may be the best their
worlds have to offer,

583
00:25:01.770 --> 00:25:05.150
but they grew up isolated
and disconnected.

584
00:25:05.150 --> 00:25:07.690
Many of them find it hard
to function as a team

585
00:25:07.690 --> 00:25:11.130
with individuals they don't already know,

586
00:25:11.130 --> 00:25:13.830
especially those of species
they've never encountered.

587
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:16.500
But, with the DMA,

588
00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:18.800
Starfleet needs personnel
now more than ever,

589
00:25:18.800 --> 00:25:20.760
but if people can't even work together...

590
00:25:20.760 --> 00:25:22.160
- Precisely.

591
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.070
One might say that today's exercise is

592
00:25:25.070 --> 00:25:26.933
about the very future of Starfleet.

593
00:25:28.800 --> 00:25:30.570
Thank you all so much for joining me

594
00:25:30.570 --> 00:25:31.980
here in "The Ready Room" today.

595
00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:33.290
Next week, I will be joined by

596
00:25:33.290 --> 00:25:36.370
the one and only Sylvia
Tilly herself, Mary Wiseman,

597
00:25:36.370 --> 00:25:38.550
to talk about Season 4, Episode 4

598
00:25:38.550 --> 00:25:40.080
of Star Trek: Discovery,

599
00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:43.010
and you will not wanna miss this one.

600
00:25:43.010 --> 00:25:45.160
Until then, I'm Wil Wheaton.

601
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:47.400
Live long, and prosper.
