Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz Talk the Messy Family Dynamics inStar Trek: Discovery

Lt . Commander Stamets ( Anthony Rapp ) and Dr. Culber ( Wilson Cruz ) have had a long , challenge journey . Now , they ’re together , but they’renot in the best of lot . In an interesting conversation , Rapp and Cruz discuss the wayDiscoveryhas developed its crew dynamics and how Stamets and Culber ’s erotic love tale factors into it .

In a short but intriguing conversation with Wil Wheaton onDiscovery’s“The Ready Room ” debriefing , Cruz and Rapp talk about the way conflict is handled among the show ’s ship gang and how the show ’s approach to mental wellness is start out to play out . This is n’t the white , cooperative gang of The Next Generation , after all ; this is a mussy household radical pushed to the very edge . In this cartridge clip , Wheaton lay out the wager and Rapp and Cruz muse on what the development mean for the show and its character .

Wheaton hogs a scrap of the screentime here , but what I discover compelling is the suggestion that Discovery might be dramatizing how Starfleet evolve its approach to genial health . Supposing they ever riposte to their normal timeline , this bunch will get back with some sixth sense about operating under uttermost duress , and , as Cruz and Wheaton point out , Dr. Culber is stepping up into a more counsel - like theatrical role that prefigures other characters in later parts of the timeline . Seeing those idea coalesce and end up as part of the grapheme evolution is an beguiling prospect .
