![]() ![]() Well, I’ll say this about that – because I’ve thought about this a lot, right? Just because we as a species get to a point where it’s normal to allow people to go through an identification of their true selves, that doesn’t mean that that process is any easier. It’s a strange situation because in the world of Star Trek, in 3189, same-sex relationships and non-binary people wouldn’t be something that would likely be seen as ‘different’, yet it’s something the writers have to address to familiarise people with in 2021. And I think after the season, they’ll certainly do more. I think people really gravitate towards the storyline and to these characters. So I think it fits right into all of the themes of this franchise. We get to see that modelled through Gray and Adira, about how they walk through the world, how we celebrate them, living their true selves, and how that allows them to be a part of this team and helps us save the galaxy once again. You can’t do that unless you’re allowed to be all of who you are. As a franchise, Star Trek has always been about creating how you show up in a team, how we show up and support each other, so that everybody lives up to their potential, but not just for themselves, but because we have a mission, and we need everyone to be at the top of their game.īlu del Barrio is the mysterious teen genius Adira in Star Trek: Discovery. The majority of true Star Trek fans are very supportive and very excited about the storytelling. What’s the fan reaction been like with the addition of Adira and Gray to the storyline? We get to see how this couple navigates this uncertainty when one of them is having a very difficult time. And surprisingly, we’ll see that roles are a bit reversed. They’re going through some very real uncertainty this season on the show. We do it in a really beautiful and sci-fi believable way.īut we really see a lot more of this dynamic between Stamets and Culber, that they really are this couple that supports and loves each other. We definitely see Dr Culber fulfil that promise, which was really important to all of us, especially to me. Dr Culber, who will never go back on a promise and will always follow through, makes a promise at the end of season three that he will do everything he can to make sure that people see Gray, physically, and that people see him and appreciate him for all his gifts. So we see this dynamic on the show as well. In many ways, like in real life, Culber and Stamets see a bit of themselves in Adira and Gray much like Anthony and I see ourselves see a bit of ourselves in Blu and Ian, just because we were also young people who grew up in this industry and have a spotlight shine on us as we were figuring out who we were and how to walk through the world. We definitely established that unit this season, we really see them all create this network of support and understanding and love for each other. ![]() What can people expect of the Culber, Stamets, Adira and Gray family? We have this new AR wall that we used for the first time this season and I got to see a lot of that yesterday, and it’s mind blowing what that technology can do.įound family is a large part of the show and especially so in season four. So I’ve seen some of it, I wouldn’t say I’ve seen all of it. I actually officially finished production on season four yesterday, because I went in and did all of the finishing touches on ADR, on the sound stuff.
