I thought I was being clear and referring to Micheal, who always somehow seems to know the solution to every problem, outside of her stated specialty of xeno-anthropology.
I know Disco was trying to be different from the other shows where there was focus on one character and not the main crew ensemble. I think that was a mistake and it looks like SFA is doing better about being an ensemble cast.
I was struggling to think of a character that was presented as “flawless” and Saru is the closest I could think of. I cannot conceive of a definition of “Mary Sue” that would apply to characters that that go to prison for mutiny. If Micheal meets the definition of a “Mary Sue” then Kirk, Sisko, Riker, Scotty, Wesley and Tom Paris do too but I suspect you would disagree with those being included.
Saru is awesome, and Doug Jones is a genius actor. I think he has the most character growth in the show.
My point is Micheal isn’t a good character in my opinion and I’m hopeful the writers won’t have another character like her in Academy. If you disagree that’s cool, reasonable minds can differ.
I want Trek to both be good TV and a good representation of Roddenberry’s vision of the future. I’m glad I watched Disco, it brought new life into the fandom.

Why were you think I was referring to Saru?
