He appeared on episodes 2 through 5 this season, but the way they were especially playing up M’Benga’s relationship with him in episode 2 made me immediately suspect he wasn’t going to survive long. I was honestly surprised it took that long, I had figured it would be the zombie episode.
I thought we would lose M’Benga to make way for McCoy in that episode. I know Bones is in s1e1 of TOS, but I have never looked further into his past to see if he ever served with Pike.
M’Benga actually appears on two episodes of TOS if I remember right, so he’s got some plot armor! On the episode A Private Little War, he’s the doctor that is slapping Spock to help bring him out of his Vulcan healing coma.

I had no idea! S2E19 and S3E17. Those are moving up on our watch list!
He’s not a main character in those episodes by any stretch, but it’s interesting to see him outside of SNW!
