Wheres Saru? Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Sidelined The Kelpien Hero

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 in general and episode 6, "Whistlespeak" in particular.
Saru has been conspicuously absent from several episodes of Star Trek: Discovery season 5. The missed opportunity to focus on Saru's wedding with T'Rina as a subplot in season 5 is a mistake. The absence of Saru, a main character, is a sad development for Discovery's final season.
Star Trek: Discovery season 5 has completely sidelined Saru (Doug Jones) which is disappointing for the show's final season. Discovery season 5, episode 6, "Whistlespeak," which was written by Kenneth Lin and Brandon Schultz and directed by Chris Byrne, saw the USS Discovery and her crew continue their search for the Progenitor's technology on the planet Halem'no, where Captain Michael Burnham (Soneqa Martin-Green) and Lieutenant Slyvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman) were forced to break the Prime Directive to save the planet's inhabitants. However, for yet another episode, one important character was noticeably absent from the show's ensemble.
