Captain Burnham and Captain Saru apportion a interchangeable attachment to Kirk and Spock onStar Trek : Discovery . Michael and Saru are incredibly close and would never expend political relation to assert rankover the other . Still , two Captains on a spaceship is one too many . TheStar Trek : The Original Seriesmovies glossed over the high ranks of the USS Enterprise ’s bridge crew for convenience and so as not to confuse movie audiences who bear theStar Trek : TOScharactersto be in their intimate roles . Meanwhile , Star Trek : Discoverybeing so top - toilsome with double Captains is a thing season 5 will address and remedy .
Captain Saru’s Starfleet Career Will Change In Star Trek: Discovery Season 5
Will Starfleet’s first Kelpien become Admiral Saru?
Saru may not remain a police captain for much longer inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 . Doug Jones indicate thatSaru will undergo a"dignified change"relating to an fling from Starfleet the Kelpien receives inDiscoveryseason 5 . Saru ’s Starfleet operation has been exemplary - certainly not as turbulent as Michael Burnham ’s - and his superscript military officer , Admiral Charles Vance ( Oded Fehr ) , must recognize that CaptainSaru is being wasted as the issue One on a starship that already has a Captain . What Saru ’s fresh occupation officer could be is n’t clear , but it could be command of his own starship , a promotion to Commodore or Fleet Captain , or perhaps a excrescence up to becoming Admiral Saru .

It ’s good thatStar Trek : Discoverywill take the tone to correct Michael Burnham and Saru both being Captains on the same spaceship . Star Trek : The Original Series ' movies gloss over Kirk and Spock ’s gamey membership for expediency . SinceStar Trek : Discoveryseason 1,Burnham and Saru ’s ranks have been a pressing issueand have evolvedthroughout the series , with Saru usually reach gamy than Michael . It seems this will be the case as well , and Saru will likely endStar Trek : Discoveryranked above Captain Burnham , whereas Kirk and Spock close outStar Trek : The Original Series ' moving-picture show in the same rank and file .
