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.

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[...]

As Saru (Doug Jones) puts so pointedly, the odds are not in their favor Unlike the crew of the Discovery, there is nothing we can do now but wait, wonder, and take heart It's time, after all.

He said the experience gave him greater appreciation for Doug Jones and the other actors on Discovery that go through the same process every day While he doesn't look forward to doing it again, he says the experience was "better than digging ditches."

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[...]

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[...]

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.
