TV series like this make me think that they were made in the 1970s and the 80s, and released only now for the viewing public. If the actors were also young at the time, like me, then they are now in their 40s too. Otherwise, they are now really old, way older than me when the episodes were shot. Even the press release photo ops were done already in the 80s, or movie premiere photo shoots. Anyways, I reckon Michael Burnham (or Sonequa Martin-Green) was one of those tasked and who excelled in analyzing my work, encryption codes, intents and purposes shown in CGI, and my Science. (However, my work was actually "open" for a time to the highest of Councils I knew.) She went to me again in the 1980s.
These military movies and TV shows are like documentaries (my diaries or journals) of what happened before in the 1970s and may happen and persist onwards, like the "mafias" in drug trafficking and smuggling, the people involved and their alliances globally. Starfleet showed them through Star Trek movies and TV series, and predicted the consequences of their past actions. Someone may bring up the real events of the Cold War in international disputes to prosecute those with war crimes which may result to another war in the present.
The inclusion of Michelle Yeoh, a very popular Chinese (Malaysian) actress in the Star Trek Discovery series tells of the Rising Dragon in Asia that is China, a force to reckon with now in artificial intelligence and quantum computing. And we are again shown the Klingons who are the Blacks in America, now accordingly outnumbers the Whites in the US. These Klingons also pertain to groups who became "black" in color due to tenous mining for gold in the Philippines, in Masbate and Baguio for example. They became black so they were persecuted as the black Negroes. We helped the blacks gain rights and freedom in the Philippines and globally. Good and evil are universal so there were good and savage blacks too in the Star Trek Philippines I recall. Think of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and here we see that the blacks dominate. Incidentally, I'm supposed to co-own NBA teams too, stolen from me, like San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, LA Lakers and Clippers, etc.
The presence of a "tardigrade" who is running a functioning "sporedrive" tells us the cruelty in those Cold War times. The Tardigrade was a "body mask" worn by a human who used his brain and body to "supercompute" perhaps teleportation and replicator tech. When that was probably found out, they asserted their superiority again by showing a real human (without body masks this time) running the sporedrive in the said Star Trek series, however cruel it may appear.
[Update: I just finished watching Season 2 from some internet sources. I can recall the presence of Captain Pike as always. I particularly recall, however, the scenes in the episode where Dr. Burnham, Michael's mother, was caught in a shield. (7/26/2019)
