Star Trek: All Discovery characters ranked from worst to best

8. Adira/Gray

Adira, played brilliantly by Blu del Barrio, and Gray, portrayed by Ian Alexander, are two characters who brought a whole new dynamic to the Star Trek universe. Adira, as a human joined with a Trill symbiont, Tal, is a walking, talking archive of memories and experiences from previous hosts. They’re super smart, a bit quirky, and have a knack for solving complex problems – think of them as a puzzle master. Their storyline is not just about space adventures; it’s a heartfelt journey of self-discovery and acceptance.

Then there’s Gray, Tal’s previous host and Adira’s beloved. Gray’s presence, initially as a supportive ghost-like figure only visible to Adira, adds a layer of emotional depth to the show. His storyline beautifully explores themes of identity and belonging, resonating with many viewers. When Gray gets a chance to interact with others, his warmth and charm shine through, making him a memorable part of the Discovery crew. Together, Adira and Gray represent love, resilience, and the power of being true to oneself, all set against the backdrop of the final frontier. Their story is not just fun and engaging, but it also breaks new ground in a franchise known for pushing boundaries.

They’re also so adorable, I can’t help but squeal for a second when they’re in a scene together.
