Discovery. There, she is assigned to share a room with Cadet Sylvia Tilly (played by Longmire‘s Mary Wiseman) — and given Burnham’s particular disposition these days, the ladies could not be less alike, as you’ll see in the exclusive clip above, where Tilly has something to say… but, very amusingly, is afraid to say it.
