Question: who’s the hero of Star Trek Discovery?

Not the “protagonist.” Not the “main character.” The hero. The person to whom the crew turns when everything is failing around them. The person who digs deep into themselves to overcome their fears. The person who will somehow save the day when all hope is lost…

Guess again.
