WARNING! spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Finale
[Spoiler (click to open)]In the season four finale of Star Trek: Discovery, “Coming Home,” voting rights advocate and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams makes an out-of-this-world cameo.
In only her second TV appearance following a guest spot on ABC’s Black-ish, Abrams made her Star Trek franchise debut as the United Earth president. Abrams, who has been vocal about being a fan of the shows, said in a behind-the-scenes video posted to her Twitter on Saturday that she wanted to be a part of the show, regardless of the role.
“Whatever the story was, I wanted to be a part of it because watching Michael Burnham come into her power as captain, watching this party-crew reclaim itself - not only in a new era but in a new space that is so reminiscent of what they remembered but so different - that, to me, speaks of why we do the work we do in politics,” she said. “It’s about giving people hope and giving them a better life and creating this vision of what is possible.”
