Wilson cruz star trek discoery season 27/25/2023 RAPP: It absolutely felt to me authentic to what I understood (about) how we met or the nature of how our relationship built and also how I came to Starfleet. So, when I was sent an image of the cover I really spun out. RAPP: I have collected comics since I was, I don’t know, seven? Or eight? I don't always collect them now as an adult as much, but there are still some that I read. Least of all me.Īnthony, how did you enjoy the Star Trek: Discovery Annual, the IDW comic book that filled in some of the details about how Stamets and Culber met, and set up Stamets’ involvement with the mycelial network?ĬRUZ: This is probably the most excited I had seen Anthony from the beginning, because he's such a big comic book fan. We come to it going "God, I want to get this right", and none of us want to be weakest link. I think we all come to this work and this series in every episode just wanting to live up to the incredible work that our co-stars are doing. I'm excited to get to a point where I can talk about it, because it's been so incredibly satisfying (to play), and nerve-wracking, because you want to get it right. So, it's been really satisfying as an actor. I've never had the opportunity to play one. We haven't seen a relationship like this. Isn't that nice?” The writers really do try to build up your characters and what your love story means and…ĬRUZ: And I promise you, just based on what we've already done that we've taken that to a whole other level this season. What I appreciate is that this isn’t just, “Oh, look, a gay couple. RAPP: Well, one of the questions – and I don't think is a spoiler - is when I go in the mycelium network, I may or may not see him, and do I even want to sometimes because don't I also need to let him go? To me, it's profoundly dealt with in a really meaningful way.ĬRUZ: We promised you guys an epic love story last season, and we're doing our best to deliver that, for sure. Yes, it is fantastical in a way, but it’s also rooted in things that do connect up with some scientific…Īnthony, is there an obsession element to you either trying to find Culber or bring him back? How did he wind up there? These questions get addressed and answered in a way-ĬRUZ: (Dramatically) Which is why we find him where we left him. And the nature of mycelia is that they recycle matter and energy. In the physical universe, energy doesn't die. RAPP: There's scientific basis on the fantastical elements of how (Culber) is able to come back. That’s really exciting, and it’s been fun to play. And because of that we really get to know these two people, who they are to each other, but also who they are individually. But what I love about what the writers have chosen to do is that there's real consequences to what happened, and they're played out in the storyline. I'll let Anthony talk about the season, but I can say that what I love about the season and this storyline is that after what happened last season, it could have been very easy for us to put a Band-Aid on it and “Now he's alive and everything,” and just have them go back to normal. Overall the response to this relationship has been really overwhelming. How pleased have you been by the fan response to the Stamets-Culber relationship?ĬRUZ: It's been really wonderful. So, I see that in each script that we get, there's a moment for everyone where they have to make a bold choice. I think we're all looking at our choices and realizing that they have consequences. Everyone at some point in the season has a moment where they have to make a choice about their integrity and choose who they are and what kind of person they want to be. so many of our characters are in the moment deciding who they are, making decisions that define them. I think that's something we can acknowledge.ĬRUZ: I'm sitting here and thinking just on a meta view of the show, the season is. It explores those themes, and sometimes are people thrown under the bus for the greater good? But maybe it's not the greater good. RAPP: It's not a secret that Section 31 is part of our story, so I think that the ways Section 31 interacts with some of what's going on, I think that that touches on… It's not a direct corollary in every way, but I think it touches on the limits of power and how power can corrupt.
