As "The Ready Room" grows, I hope Wil stays with it. No one else can do this like he does.

Dude, this season's premise is very satisfying to those of us that are deep lore nerds

[Hyperion-Cantos]

My wife and I love Saru. In fact she believes he should get a special award for being able to save the galaxy while wearing heels. She's actually envious.

Congratulations to Doug Jones for having such a stellar career and a huge thank you for crafting such a memorable character.❤

Watching Doug and Wil together is like diving into a pile of puppies.

Now they need a song, "Walk Like a Kelpien".

I've missed The Ready Room so much!

Will, you are such a talented interviewer. I love that your history with Star Trek gives you such insight into the experiences of the actors your interview because of your incredible empathy, but I’m also certain your gifts as a questioner will extend far beyond the Star Trek universe. Thank you for The Ready Room.

Doug Jones seems like such a sweet man. DISCO has had ups and downs for me but I've always loved Suru.

🖖

Cannot wait for more of this seasons journey

[judyarmstrong]

I enjoyed both episodes very much....fills my craving easily for more Star Trek.

I’ve been watching Trek since the original run of TOS. Saru is one of the most amazing characters with one of the most relatable arcs in all trekdom. The scenes with Burnam brought me to tears. Kudos to Mr. Jones for creating one of the most heartfelt characters in trek.

[waltjohnson]

Doug Jones, what a gentleman. And what an insightful actor, to create an entire new species for us to enjoy and relate to. As for Wil, Frakes was right - he was born for this role. I really enjoy his fine work and obvious commitment to the whole of Trek.

[axllebeer]

Doug and his characters story and growth really has been the highlight of the series for me. I will miss him.

[munkduane]

Great interview. Thank you. Is it me or did this episode of Ready Room feel a bit rushed?

[maybetoby]

Saru is the best character on the show
