10. Jett Reno

Played by one of my all-time favorite comedians, Tig Notaro, Jett Reno is a character who lights up the screen with her quick wit and no-nonsense attitude and she also has a delightful presence in Star Trek: Discovery. Although she may not be at the very heart of the main plot, Reno’s role is like a dash of spicy seasoning in a well-prepared dish – it’s not the main ingredient, but it sure adds a memorable kick. With her sharp one-liners and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, she brings a refreshing and relatable touch to the high-stakes world of space exploration.

Reno’s interactions with other crew members are a source of both humor and insight. She’s the kind of person who says what everyone is thinking but is too polite to voice. This straightforwardness, combined with her undeniable technical expertise, makes her an unsung hero aboard the Discovery.

Whether she’s fixing a critical piece of equipment or offering a sarcastically witty comment, Jett Reno is a character that adds a unique and enjoyable flavor to the series. Her presence reminds us that even in the far reaches of the galaxy, a little humor and down-to-earth practicality go a long way.
