Star Trek: Discovery continues this week with “The Sound of Thunder,” the sixth episode of the season,” and we’ve got a set of new photos from the crew’s journey to Saru’s homeworld of Kaminar from in this week’s adventure.
Back in December’s “The Brightest Star,” we learned about life on Kaminar and how Saru ventured out to the stars, leaving behind his family and Kelpien race, and this week’s episode brings us back to his home and to his sister Sirannah (Hannah Spear).
Along with what looks like a visit from Sirannah to Saru’s quarters aboard the Discovery, this week’s photos also give us a look at Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) back in Starfleet uniform — albeit with a Section 31 black badge — and Airiam (Hannah Cheesman) at work in the off-bridge science lab.
And in case you missed it, here’s the video preview for the episode, which features a decidedly horrifying alien race — perhaps the Ba’ul species, which has preys on the docile Kelpiens.
