But seriously, isn't it funny that Saru is the shortest of the three kelpians presented?

Unless the Emperor sent someone to pick him up from the Shenzhou, that wasn't Saru. He wasn't on the shuttle with Burnham and Lorca.

Worf: "Delicious."

I'm a simple guy. A nice juicy Kelpian burger with ketchup, mustard and cheese and I'm good to go.

BTW @φ of π, great thread.

 

[Hythlodeus]

BTW, are we 100% sure Burnham ate Saru? They all kinda look the same:

Or am I being scifi-racist for thinking that? J/K

that wasn't Saru

I also thought it was Saru at first glance, but according to Memory Alpha, that Kelpien was played by a different actor: Clayton Scott.

 

[ITDUDE]

Waaaa? Mind blown

Kelpian Helper “Saruganoff” is my favorite. Now with 20% more ganglia.

Isn't this kind of a sad end for Trek fandom to have come to?

Lighten up Francis.

It is sad. Underneath the jokes it was bad enough Georgiou was reduced to a meal in one universe and a pantomime baddie in another. Not sure the writers expected giggles from showing the Kelpiens being a menu item either.

I think a pulled Kelpian wrap would be pretty awesome.

And by awesome I mean horrific and gross.

YMMD, but personally I find the sexualization of T'Pol and 7 of 9 way, way sadder

Open a new thread for that kind of discussion... Has nothing to do with cooking Kelpians, by the way, i want to taste some female Kelpian...

See, I was thinking it might still be DJ so they could save having to make up one more person.

[φ of π]

Maybe it was Saru's twin brother.

 

[seigezunt]

Apparently there was some confusion because the assisted audio track for the visually impaired referred to it being Saru, which Nardino insists was a mistake.

I suspect they were giggling too but they also have a serious motive. This is set up for a future moment between Her and P-Saru. Remember Burnham lying to him about not seeing M-Kelpians, because they were slaves?

That's going to be hard enough to (someday?) apologize to him for but now another layer has been added - how is she ever going to explain having eaten one?

Coming Soon to The MU: Kentucky Fried Kelpians.

I'm sure Saru knows how delicious he is
