Star Trek: All Discovery characters ranked from worst to best

6. Sylvia Tilly

Ah, Tilly, Tilly. My favorite in the series and one of my overall favorite Star Trek characters ever written. Tilly isn’t just a character on Star Trek: Discovery; she’s a journey we all get to experience.

Starting as a cadet, Tilly might have seemed like your typical eager-to-please, slightly awkward newbie, but oh, how she grows! She blossoms into a truly competent officer, showing us that with a bit of grit and a lot of heart, anyone can achieve their dreams. Tilly’s relatability is off the charts.

She’s the friend I personally really wish I had, the one who makes mistakes, learns from them, and always tries again, and is there to support you and not judge you while you make the same path of mistakes. Her journey from a wide-eyed cadet to a confident officer isn’t just inspiring – it’s a tribute to the very essence of Star Trek. It’s about exploration, not just of the galaxies out there, but of the potential within ourselves. Tilly’s character is a beautifully written reminder of this, and it’s no wonder that she’s quickly become one of the best Star Trek characters ever.

Her story isn’t just about space adventures; it’s about growing up, facing challenges, and becoming the best version of yourself. And that’s something we can all aspire to, whether we’re traveling among the stars or navigating our daily lives here on Earth.
