Following her re-appearance as Emperor Georgiou in the back half of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's first season, Yeoh addressed the death of Captain Georgiou: "I said [to the producers], ‘If you’re gonna kill me off, I don’t want to be in it. I don’t want to just die and disappear.' The fans, they’ve been so sweet. They stop me on the street to say, ‘Why did you get killed off? Why did they let them kill you off? Come back.’"

USS Shenzhou brig, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017)
Fide angle view from inside the USS Shenzhou brig set as it appeared in "Battle at the Binary Stars".

Like many of the Shenzhou / Discovery interiors, the brig was designed under supervision of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's first production designer, Mark Worthington, to be reconfigured to serve as multiple locations on multiple starships. Following the set's use in "Battle at the Binary Stars", the set was reworked to serve as Captain Lorca's "menagerie" beginning in "Context is for Kings". It would later go back to being a brig (albeit with a different configuration from the Shenzhou brig) aboard the Discovery and even stood in for Spock's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise in DISCOVERY's second season.

James Frain and Sonequa Martin-Green during filming of "The Vulcan Hello", STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017)
James Frain and Sonequa Martin-Green in the Shenzhou officer's quarters set during filming of "The Vulcan Hello".

Sonequa Martin-Green discussed Michael Burnham's history as a human raised on Vulcan: "The idea of how Vulcan I am versus how human I am is one facet we're exploring. Because there is this dichotomy of Vulcan indoctrination versus human emotion and human DNA, versus Starfleet ideology. And so, it's really about all of these things, all of these tenets of my being, and how they are relating to each other, and how they're opposing each other, right? So, I was born into a human family, and a human life, and then was sort of forced into Vulcan culture. So, there's the acculturation that has happened, and there was certainly the assimilation that I fought to achieve."

James Frain and Prosthetics Supervisor James Mackinnon on the set of "The Vulcan Hello".

In 2017, Frain spoke to Trekcore about taking over the role of Sarek from Mark Lenard: "Well, I feel a great sense of responsibility to Mark Lenard’s performance because he was the first to establish the character, and did such a fantastic job. So, I had him very much in mind but I also felt like, we change so much in our lives. [Mark Lenard’s performance is] where he ends up, but he’s lived for 200 years. So who was he 50 years, or 100 years before that? Like, who is this guy who marries a human being, when humans have an emotional culture, and Vulcans believe that emotion causes war?
It simply has to be repressed, because it’s dangerous, yet here he is, playing with danger – that seems to me to be kind of exciting… and kinda sexy, dare I say it!"

definitely a weird choice, Discovery was pushing an even more advanced but also almost totally opaque vision of STAR TREK tech, especially in that first season. I kinda dig it

USS Shenzhou transporter console, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (2017)
USS Shenzhou transporter room console during filming of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's premiere episodes in early 2017.

Created under the supervision of DISCOVERY's first production designer, Mark Worthington, the Shenzhou interiors were designed to ultimately serve as interiors of the USS Discovery and other Federation vessels. The Shenzhou transporter room would be modified by removing the central console and "lateral vector transporter" dishes as well as swapping red lighting for blue lighting in order to serve as the same room aboard the USS Discovery. Following STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's jump forward in time to the 32nd century which utilized personal transporters, the transporter room set would be transformed into Discovery's crew lounge for Seasons 4 and 5.

Created under the supervision of DISCOVERY's first production designer, Mark Worthington, the Shenzhou interiors were designed to ultimately serve as interiors of the USS Discovery and other Federation vessels. As such, the designers built in swappable panels to make the changeover between vessels relatively easy.

James Frain as Sarek and Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham in the Shenzhou transporter room, a flashback depicting Burnham's first time aboard the ship.

Sonequa Martin-Green discussed Michael Burnham's Vulcan upbringing: "The idea of how Vulcan I am versus how human I am is one facet we're exploring. Because there is this dichotomy of Vulcan indoctrination versus human emotion and human DNA, versus Starfleet ideology. And so, it's really about all of these things, all of these tenets of my being, and how they are relating to each other, and how they're opposing each other, right? So, I was born into a human family, and a human life, and then was sort of forced into Vulcan culture. So, there's the acculturation that has happened, and there was certainly the assimilation that I fought to achieve. And then you have Starfleet. And so almost, I feel as if Starfleet has provided a bridge for me between my humanity and my Vulcan upbringing. So, it's interesting because it's not the same journey as Spock. He, in his DNA, is Vulcan and human. But for me, it's really about someone who attempted to become someone they were not born to be. Under tremendous pressure. Against insurmountable odds. [She’s] someone who's succeeded in that to a point, and possibly to a fault. So, there's certainly that inner conflict, and a lot of the inner conflict has to do with that, because obviously there's an identity crisis there, that, "Who amI? Who do I want to be? Who am I becoming, based on these decisions I'm making? Is it Vulcan logic, or is it human emotion that caused me to make that decision? I actually don't know!" So, these are things we touch on."
