Saru Archives

Arguably, his biggest role is Saru in Star Trek: Discovery The Kelpian's come a long way since his days on the U.S.S Shenzou as second officer to Captain Phillippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), becoming first officer to Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs), before becoming captain himself of the U.S.S Discovery and seeing Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green)[...]

If you took out Burnham from Discovery or put her in a lesser role, Doug Jones's Saru is perfectly capable of leading as the character is a captain.

All Rights Reserved. Who's the First Officer of Discovery? We know that Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) finally agreed at Admiral Charles Vance's (Oded Fehr) insistence to become the new commanding officer of Discovery, but who did she choose to serve as her first officer? Is it Ensign Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman), who was given provisional status by[...]

On the planet's surface, we get tapped more into the emotional side with Saru (Doug Jones), Culber (Wilson Cruz), Gray (Ian Alexander), and Adira (Blu del Barrio) trying to break through to Su'Kal (Bill Irwin), who's so inexperienced in the world and hesitant for change.

Saru (Doug Jones) demoted her from first officer status Despite the recovery of a piece related to the cataclysmic event, Michael licks her wounds contemplating her future in Starfleet With her rearing up in Vulcan society as Spock's adopted sister, the Federation earned a foot in the door The episode is satisfying on so many[...]

Meanwhile, Saru (Doug Jones) is almost taking a "kids will be kids" attitude Michelle Yeoh is just flat out wasted as the outburst would be the perfect opportunity NOT to sit on the sidelines for Emperor Georgiou It just feels like writers Alan B McElroy, Chris Silvestri, and Anthony Maranville should have moved on from[...]

Now that the third season of CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery has gotten the band back together (with Saru now commanding the bridge), it's time to find some answers as to why the Federation no longer exists in 3189 and what exactly happened that caused the Federation to be no more- replaced by something[...]

IDW just released a one-shot comic that features our favorite Kelpian's first official command mission, and it's a wonderful read. //Credit: IDW Publishing Captain Saru is a pretty large comic, clocking in at 53 pages There's a lot of story crammed in to those pages, too, with Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson providing a fast-moving narrative that[...]

There is so much more to know about Culber (Wilson Cruz) and Stamets (Anthony Rapp), Saru (Doug Jones), Tilly (Mary Wiseman), and Jett Reno (Tig Notaro) – but as long as all eyes are peeled for Spock, those storylines won't get the attention they deserve.

Reboot means recasting, and I'm told this first reboot does not have anybody in it from the original film. I received an offer to do a cameo, but I was deeply immersed in Star Trek: Discovery when that offer came in, so I couldn't do it." While we're sad we won't get more Jones-Abe, we have been thoroughly enjoying[...]

All Rights Reserved. Suddenly, a new red signal appears over Saru's (Doug Jones) home planet of Kaminar The timing of this signal, shortly after Saru survives his sphere-induced "vaharai" and learns that his entire belief system is a lie, cannot be merely coincidental In fact, it supports the conclusion that the Red Angel and the signals[...]

On CBS All Access's Star Trek: Discovery, Saru (Doug Jones) has always been in an impossible position A technological genius, Saru is a refugee from a pre-warp planet – meaning that even one trip home to visit his family would mean that Saru was in violation of the Prime Directive Now after losing his threat ganglia[...]

Further, Section 31 is assigned to help track down Spock, much to Pike's dismay. When we last saw the Discovery, the crew had just saved Saru's (Doug Jones) life and downloaded 100,000 years of universal observations from a glowing sphere In the fight to free the Discovery from the thrall of the sphere, the mycelial life[...]

While no one aboard the Discovery made it through the episode unscathed, two of my favorites – Saru (Doug Jones) and Tilly (Mary Wiseman) – were forced to the limits of their endurance (and beyond) and both are forever changed Queue the universal symbol for a spoiler warning… Just from the episode's title alone – a[...]

From everything released so far about this week's episode "An Obol for Charon," it seems like things are about to get much worse for the crew of Discovery – especially for Tilly and Saru (Doug Jones). So put on your rain jackets… a light sprinkling of mild spoilers ahead! Here's a look at the streaming service's official preview[...]

If you watch CBS ALL ACCESS series Star Trek: Discovery, you know who Saru (played by the WONDERFUL Doug Jones) is What you might not know is where he comes from, his back story, his motivations. In the upcoming Star Trek: Short Treks (a series of four standalone stories built around DISCO characters) episode "The Brightest Star" will answer Saru-centric questions,[...]
