Star Trek: Discovery writer hints at Dr. Hugh Culber facing severe consequences after Trill scientist Jinaal took over his mind and body in Season 5 of the highly popular series.

In episode three of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, viewers see the USS Discovery embarking on a thrilling journey to find the Progenitors’ treasure. However, the hunt leads them to Jinaal, a 24th-century Trill scientist, who holds a piece of crucial information about the treasure’s location. But things go downhill for Dr. Hugh Culber when Jinaal manages to assume control of Culber’s body and mind. Now, in a new interview, co-writer Kyle Jarrow has made it clear that Culber would struggle with the aforementioned experience.

While making an appearance on The 7th Rule podcast, Jarrow opened up about what might happen with Dr. Culber after Jinaal’s takeover. The writer also mentioned that the Trill takeover will have a long-lasting effect in the ongoing edition of Star Trek: Discovery. During the conversation, he also dropped an exciting hint about the intense encounter and noted that things won’t get easier for Culber throughout the season. Jarrow said, “I won’t give anything away about where the season is going, but I will say that the experience of this for Culber is gonna continue to resonate. Towards the end of the episode, there’s that scene where he’s talking to Michael, and he’s talking about the experience, and having this other consciousness inside him, and he’s sort of trying to work through it. So that’s gonna play forward, and actually, there’s gonna be some ramifications for him… character-wise.”

For the uninitiated, in episode three of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Dr. Culber volunteers for the intense Trill ritual named Zhian’tara. During the ritual, Jinaal takes over Culber’s body and mind, leaving Culber as a mere onlooker in his own vessel. It would be interesting to see Culber’s transformation in the upcoming episodes. Culber’s journey in the Star Trek universe has been pretty harrowing. Throughout the series, fans have seen him grappling with the aftermath of his death and resurrection in Seasons 1 and 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. So, it doesn’t come as a shock that he has endured a lot of trauma since getting murdered by Ash Tyler. In the past episode, viewers saw how his resurrection gave a unique look at someone experiencing PTSD. Things are only going to get tougher for him after his encounter with Jinaal, and it might turn out to be lethal for him.

Interestingly, the takeover by Jinaal also gives Cruz to show his range as an actor. He would have to play an entirely different character in the upcoming episodes and show viewers that he can play any role. It would be exciting to see how the makers choose to continue with his story while delving into his past traumas and navigating new challenges ahead. The next episode of Star Trek: Discovery season five will see the USS Discovery getting vandalized by a peculiar weapon.

Star Trek: Discovery is available for streaming on Paramount Plus.
