And that had to happen so we can do what we are about to his answer again, he’s not saying that or giving any real reason. So, we saved the universe because that had to happen. In order for the universe, and all the universes, to be saved, somebody had to be in the mycelia network to know what was going on and be able to know what was going on and have a strong enough bond with somebody in our plane that could reach them. First of all, he had to die for what happens at the end of the season. And we didn’t want people to think it was a character that had just been killed off. Did they know when they killed you, that they weren’t going to really kill you off? Can you talk about why it was decided to let everyone so rapidly know?īecause of that reason. That is unusual for a show that is so secretive. When was killed off, there was an immediate full-court press to let everyone know he’s not dead, he’s coming back. What about being Puerto Rican and being a Latino actor, you know, there haven’t been a lot in Star Trek and so is that established much in the show? Is it clear that is Puerto Rican? You guys have talked a lot about diversity and part of the diversity is your sexuality. The trauma of Culber’s death will be dealt with in season 2 Expanding Trek’s diversity and managing fallout from killing off Culber So, if that happens, you can only imagine what trauma a person who had their neck snapped carries around. There are generations of African-American people who are carrying a physical element of themselves that is caused by the trauma that their ancestors went through. He has gone through a trauma, and that affects and changes and stays with you. We are not only going to see this relationship and how it is affected by this, but who they are. That’s what I mean, we are really are going to expand the presence of Culber and who he is and all of those things. So, you guys keep talking about the relationship for season 2, are there things for you to do that have nothing to do with Paul Stamets? You were a doctor and you were smart, unfortunately too smart. But we get to learn a lot about this relationship and it is put through the test.Īn important thing you have talked about before was for both Stamets and Culber to have lives. We get to find out a lot about Culber – who he is, what he wants, what makes him tick, what his ambitions are – separate and apart from this relationship. I am the worst, because I am trying to keep this job…I mean, honestly, this season for this couple is really about deepening them individually. Last season I was recurring because I was doing 13 Reasons Why at the same time, and this year I am not recurring. Would you say your role is more or less significant than last season, where you were in maybe half the episodes? You are not a ghost.Ĭulber visits with Stamets inside the mycelial network in season 1 He’s now a main cast member with a lot to do in season 2 You are interacting, people are talking to you. The way you return, would you say it is something they haven’t done in Star Trek before?īut it’s not just a flashback. And nobody has gotten it yet, which is pretty cool. So, we are aware.Īnd what’s been really fun for the past year in my case is to have read all the different theories about how I would be returning. We feel a sense of responsibility while we are doing this, to our fans to make sure we are making something they are going to be wowed by. I think we enjoy the passion that the fandom brings to this. When you are doing a TV show, the only way you can do that is online. We like to hear some reaction from an audience. How conscious and how much do you guys on set talk about the online fan community, and feedback on every episode? (Video of the interview is below the transcript) Culber is really coming back, not as a flashback or a ghost We also discussed how the death of the character was handled in the media. Hugh Culber, was killed off in the first season, and we talked about the mystery of his return and what Culber will be up to in season two. TrekMovie had a chance to speak to some of the cast and crew of Star Trek: Discovery at a press event on Friday, including actor Wilson Cruz.
