As everyone knows we just barely got to know the Star Trek<\/em> franchise\u2019s first gay<\/a> couple<\/a> before Cruz\u2019s character was killed by the Klingon infiltrator Voq \/ Ash Tyler.<\/p>\n

It was a bit of a shock with many LGBT fans feeling that it was reminiscent of early queer erasure in television.<\/p>\n

It also came after a historical moment on the show that some critics said was as profound as Captain Kirk (William Shatenr) and Lt Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) first interracial kiss on TV on the original 1960s series.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In the touching scene: Lt. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) and Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz) stand side by side at a sink, brushing their teeth in matching red Starfleet pajamas.<\/p>\n

It was a simple moment that was understated and profound.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now we know have known<\/em>\u00a0Cruz\u2019s Dr. Culber would be returning since Comic-Con International last summer where in an exclusive\u00a0 interview<\/a> with fan site Trek Movie<\/em> Cruz said he was returning and it was not a flashback:<\/p>\n

Culber is really coming back, not as a flashback or a ghost<\/em><\/h4>\n

The way you return, would you say it is something they haven\u2019t done in Star Trek before?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes. [laughs]<\/em><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just a flashback. You are back in some way. You are interacting, people are talking to you. You are not a ghost.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Correct. I can say that.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The trauma of Culber\u2019s death will be dealt with in season 2.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wilson was looking relaxed and sexy last week on his birthday in this Instagram post:<\/p>\n
