I think Saru is the best that came out of Discovery. I think the character will rank high in Trek’s Pantheon for a long time.
Spoiler
The "Look into my eyes and tell me if you see even the slightest glimmer of doubt" scene alone would ensure that.
That’s a testament to Jones’s acting as well. I thoroughly enjoyed Action Saru in that scene.
He is so good at getting subtle facial expression through the prosthetic. Really remarkable.
100% agreed. I mean, he is Pencilhead! I always wondered what became of Son of Pencilhead.
omg - i didn't realize
I struggle to think of a Trek character more Star Trek than Saru. DSC has its (sometimes severe, sometimes not) flaws, but it has an impressive track record of occasionally absolutely nailing how to make some of the trekkiest Trek characters.
It's going to be interesting where the series ends up in the inevitable reevaluation once a few years have passed.
