StarTrekDiscovery's Doug Jones says the writers explained Saru with a key StarTrekTOS comparison 👀 'I was told by the writers' room, you know, you're a Kelpien. You're not a Vulcan, but you are the Spock of this show.' 🖖
Actor Doug Jones was told that his character in Star Trek: Discovery was considered the Spock of the series. Discovery is the seventh television series in the Star Trek franchise, and was the first since Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2005. Discovery first premiered in 2017 and has since gone on to spawn a spinoff series of its own, entitled Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Discovery season 4 debuted earlier this year, and season 5 is expected to be released sometime in early 2023.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Discovery was praised by critics and Star Trek fans for bringing something new to the franchise, while still sticking with similar conventions that The Original Series was so famous for. The show takes place approximately 10 years before the events of The Original Series, and follows Commander Michael Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery as they traverse not only strange new worlds, but other universes and timelines as well.
I was told by the writers' room, you know, you're a Kelpien. You're not a Vulcan, but you are the Spock of this show. What's Next For Saru On Discovery Season 5 Like many other The Original Series characters, Leonard Nimoy's Spock is now a major part of popular culture. Jones also recalls growing up watching TOS, as he was 6 years old when the series premiered in 1966.
As with all other franchises, Star Trek has had some major hits and misses over the years. Many fans of The Original Series found other Star Trek series lacking, saying they would never live up to the expectation that it had set. However, Discovery seems to have found its sweet spot in balancing new ideas with classic Star Trek tones - including having a sharp-witted, highly intellectual, very tall alien acting as First Officer.
