Stamets, the marvellous mycologist, was always a jump forward for Star Trek.

Are you recording this in the bathroom 😂😂😂 good on ya, whatever works

I'm very glad there was no fanfare about the Stamets/Culber relationship in show. It was just 'These two are in a gay relationship. Live with it' and their relationship was pretty normal too, saying that this sort of thing in the Trek universe is just an everyday normal thing not worthy of making a big deal of.
The sooner we get there the better.

My wife and I loved the character Stamets, so when we got a Boston Terrier puppy 2 years ago, we gave him a very Star Trek name: Odo Rene Stamets Mix-Johnson.

I really hope Stamets and Culber in this Academy show, and can’t wait to see Tilly too!

[johnarthurlawrence]

(PS: I think the BEST scene with Stamets is the one between him and Reno, where we learn that she's a lesbian widow).

[squaresphere]

Stamets was one of the best things about Discovery. He was gay character done right. Sure it was part of his character but never distracted from his genius. My love of star trek is always rooted in "competency porn" I LOVE watching smart and capable people achieve incredible things.

The moment they explained the Spore Drive, my first thought was "So the Discovery literally takes trips on mushrooms?"

[navygirl]

Was that the guy who gave the Ted talk about mushrooms being the future? That was a great Ted talk.

[semdehoop]

I love in the scene where Paul and Hugh kiss in the Spore lab, Tilly is just in the background like “should’ve brought a camera with me”

[brentbarr]

I'm sorry Seán, I absolutely LOVE you but were you recording this in the DUNNY? Damn.. the echo is unreal.. lolol

[Trekmods]

One of the best characters on the show, love Stamets. In regards to the toothbrush scene, is it also the first time a bathroom is shown?

[williamtsutherland]

Seán! This was a Great Video! . . .however, did you record your audio in the "loo"?

[martinporteous]

Sean you cant record the audio for a video on the toilet. Come on now. Hope your bowels feel better soon. :)

[thomasbarnett]

Didn't Sulu in star trek beyond have a moment with his husband as he pick up their daughter and walks off at the end of the movie before the party?

[bestoftrekworstoftrek]

Recorded in the WhatCulture studio? Only other time I've heard shawn with so much room reverb.

[digitalsparky]

That echo though... :p... Eh, Thanks for the video anyway, it's fantastic :D.

[Bondoz]

The cover photo is Photoshopped?! He never stood around holding a mushroom in the show 😂 !!! ❤️🖖🏾

[PhilBertran]

Really hope we get to see Stamets and the rest of the Discovery characters again soon.

[Hasmanian]

Stamets and Culber were the best parts of Disco. I'll die on this hill.

[deadmeat]

Didn't Cadet Paul Stamets lie about an esteemed Starfleet Engineer's actions to further his own career and force that elder Engineer to publicly acknowledge a secret lifestyle?
