Star Trek: Discovery
Summary
It would have been a enceinte estimate forStar Trek : Discoveryto spend more time at the wedding of Ambassador Saru ( Doug Jones ) and President T’Rina ( Tara Rosling ) , and I wish a whole instalment was devoted to their wedding . The glimpses of Saru and T’Rina ’s foretell nuptials inStar Trek : Discovery ’s series finale , " Life , Itself " , were far too brief , with no meter give to the ceremony itself . It ’s an unusual choice , give thatStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 built up the first Vulcan - Kelpien wedding as an important eventwith political branch for the duad ’s place satellite of Ni’Var and Kaminar , and a personal goal for Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green ) to look .
It ’s understandable that Saru and T’Rina ’s wedding was n’t given the spotlight inStar Trek : Discovery ’s finale . Saru was absent for most ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 due to Doug Jones ' programing conflicts , cook a Saru - heavy episode unmanageable to take . “Life , Itself " also needed to enclose up the season - retentive arc of Captain Burnham ’s raceway against the Breen for the primogenitor ' technology . Once it was clear that time of year 5 would beStar Trek : Discovery ’s last , extra scene were also added to close out the series . Without these constraints , however , Saru and T’Rina ’s wedding party could have been the central focusof a satisfying ending forStar Trek : Discovery .
Saru has n’t appear in the last few episodes of Star Trek : Discovery season 5 , and Doug Jones explicate why the Kelpien is miss .

Saru’s Wedding Could Have Explored Star Trek: Discovery’s Characters
Star Trek: Discovery’s Strength Is Its Character Growth
Star Trek : Discovery ’s 5 time of year have been somewhat odd , but an installment give to Saru ’s wedding would accentuate thatStar Trek : Discovery ’s true lastingness is the consistent development of characters and their kinship with one another . Michael Burnham and Saru ’s friendship , in finical , is emblematic ofStar Trek : Discovery ’s evolution . InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 1 , Saru unwaveringly believe that Burnham was dangerous , but Burnham leaven herself metre and again . Michael was at Saru ’s side during his vahara’i inDiscoveryseason 2 , and by the series ' end , Saru and Burnham are trusted friends . Burnham ’s role in Saru ’s wedding could correspond this evolution , but we never see it .
InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 2 , episode 4 , " An Obol for Charon " , Saru undergoes the vahara’i , the painful Kelpien biological appendage that sheds the threat ganglion and evolves Saru into a more confident character .
With other patch thread tied up , Star Trek : Discoverycould slow down at the wedding party and receipt , giving space to explore who these people are to one another , liken and contrasting with where they started . All ofStar Trek : Discovery ’s type might have been able to have their own minute in the spotlighttoasting Saru or reminiscing . Instead , Saru and T’Rina ’s ceremony is a mere montage , the receipt is rushed , and Burnham and Cleveland Booker ( David Ajala ) seem to leave behind without saying goodbye , which is weird , given Michael and Saru ’s close friendly relationship . With a full episode , we could ’ve pay off so much more ofStar Trek : Discovery ’s wedding .
