Star Trek: 10 Things We Are Most Excited To See In Discovery S3
2. Captain Saru
Has any other character, with the exception of Sisko, earned their stripes more than this Kelpian? In short, absolutely not! Saru has led the crew on board the Discovery through some of the most calamitous events that have ever faced a starship in the fleet and subsequently has grown immeasurably.
From meeting him aboard the USS Shenzhou, fear ganglia dangling, to his rise to command - Saru has been one of, if not the, most engaging character in the show to date. To add to this, the introduction of Captain Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise took nothing away from his authority - it simply allowed him to develop it further.
There is no better man to lead the USS Discovery into the future and into the unknown. We are ready for this.
