He did such an amazing job.
The arm swing is such a subtle thing he does, yet it really sells that he’s an alien who’s built different than a human (or most other humanoid aliens in trek which are too human like)

IIRC, the arm swing he does is because of how he has to walk in his foot prosthetics

I think Saru is the best that came out of Discovery. I think the character will rank high in Trek’s Pantheon for a long time.

Spoiler
The “Look into my eyes and tell me if you see even the slightest glimmer of doubt” scene alone would ensure that.

That’s a testament to Jones’s acting as well. I thoroughly enjoyed Action Saru in that scene.

I struggle to think of a Trek character more Star Trek than Saru. DSC has its (sometimes severe, sometimes not) flaws, but it has an impressive track record of occasionally absolutely nailing how to make some of the trekkiest Trek characters.
It’s going to be interesting where the series ends up in the inevitable reevaluation once a few years have passed.
