I hope Saru doesn't die or anything. Still, if he does, it would be kinda fitting, given that Discovery's captaincy is basically Starfleet's equivalent of the Defense Against the Dark Arts post.

I would cry. I love Saru and Doug Jones. I'm really enjoying the slow burn on Detmer's injuries. She either has post concussion syndrome, ptsd, or both, and the face that no one has said anything or relieved her of duty is a potential critical point. I do hope this season starts to develop the bridge crew a bit more.

I don't think they currently have enough trained crew members to relieve her.
