Offscreen is Amos hitting on Lwaxana who just kind of materialized on the Roci. Holden blamed the Protomolecule, and Amos named her “Pumpkins”.

    Sounds like you just haven’t been aware of what she’s been in.

    She had a Best-supporting actress Oscar nomination in 2004 for ‘The House of Sand and Fog’ and Primetime Emmy win in 2009 for Outstanding Actress in a miniseries or movie.

    It’s more the case that , as for Michelle Yeoh, older women seem to get meatier roles in science fiction and fantasy than in mainstream or art house productions.

    I would love to see Shorleh come over to the Trek franchise in a worthy role. I can definitely see her standing out in the 25th century.

      Oh, absolutely. I recognize her every time she’s in something but just haven’t seen a lot of the things she’s been in. Can’t believe I forgot she was in Star Trek, though (the JJ Abrams ones, so hopefully I can be forgiven for that lol).

      That would be awesome. Ideally not some viewscreen-only admiral or other small, desk role but a proper character. Don’t know if I’d prefer a protagonist or antagonist. I liked Philippa Georgiou, but I loved Emperor Georgiou. Guess they can surprise me.

      Edit: Probably too late now, but she would be awesome as like the head of Section 31 or something (and Michelle Yeoh’s boss) in the S31 movie.
