Topic	Eight Board-Eighters Rank Star Trek Characters
Anagram 01/21/20 11:07:18 AM #127:	25. Saru My sister is a primitive hut-dwelling savage. Oh look, there she is flying a spaceship after ten minutes of training! Discounting Christopher Pike and Spock, Saru is the highest-ranking Discovery character on my list. He probably doesnt deserve to be this high, but hes the only Discovery character who could have been on a real Star Trek, so I give him some leeway. I kind of like the idea of a species thats constantly frightened because they can sense the coming of death, even if that makes no sense. I also enjoy how they hedged their bets with season 1 by avoiding telling us anything about Sarus species except that hes the first one in Starfleet. Youd think that would come up in conversation after the part where his people are like primitives, but okay. The idea of Im a primitive hut-dwelling alien, but through a bunch of silly coincidences, I got picked up by the Federation and now I feel obligated to prove Im not a primitive by being the best at everything is really strong. I dont think they did much with it, but its a great premise. Nothing about the setup makes any sense, of course. Sarus species was once a dangerous predator, so the prey developed advanced technology and enslaved them, and told them dude if you live long enough youll go insane and die, so kill yourselves while youre young. So ignoring any questions about how a species continues developing new abilities and stuff like this while in adulthood, why did the prey species just murder them all to avoid any chance of exactly what happens happening? Anyway, the situation is resolved when Captain Pike completely ignores the prime directive. Im sorry, General Order One, because prime directive sounds too nerdy. In a series full of dumb stuff, the dumbest thing in Discovery might very well be Sarus species being given space fighters to help in the final battle because we need it to be more like Star Wars. This isnt really Sarus fault, so I didnt ding him for this, but if you write a gigantic space battle scene with laser explosions and a bad guy being kicked into a disintegration booth and his face exploding because you want to stop HAL 9000 from eating all sapient life in the galaxy, then you have completely misunderstood what Star Trek is. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
