As a Star Trek Discovery fan, I've listened to quite a lot of interviews with the cast. Every now and then there's an interview that really just stands out because there's such genuine warmth and transparency being exchanged between the interviewer and interviewee. The Syfy Sistas podcast did this interview with Sonequa Martin-Green and honestly, it's the best interview I've listened to in a while.

Regardless of where you fall on the love/dislike scale with DSC, this is a great interview for everyone to hear.

If you are a SciFi fan, a Star Trek fan, Star Trek Discovery fan, or just like SMG you MUST listen to this interview with Sonequa Martin-Green. It's so good!!

I love S4 Captain Burnham with my whole heart but there's something about S3 Burnham and her many casual looks and tactical suits and just the braids with the Disco blues that will forever have my heart

[thewomancallednova]

It's been four years and I'm still not over Airiam's death TT

[thewomancallednova]

When I watched "The Red Angel" for the first time I genuinely thought Burnham was gonna die at the end. Which is really impressive for Disco season 2, because that's the second time it made me think it was gonna kill off one of its two most important characters.

The Vulcan Hello!

thanks @startrekdiscoverycelebration for having such lovely reminders all week.

This episode is GORGEOUS. The colors, the detail, the costumes...

I love you old blue uniforms.

Stray though...Michael spends more time in space in just a suit than really anyone else we see. Here, in the Red Angel suit, in season 2 when they get Reno...in season 4...

It's great how much she loves being out in space. I love that about her.

(I love Michael and Philippa and Saru and Keyla!!)

Captain Georgiou is fantastic.
