Trivia / Star Trek Discovery S 5 E 04 Face The Strange

• Acting for Two: While most of the main mast are all playing earlier versions of their characters, Sonequa Martin-Green qualifies the most for this due to the one-on-one interaction and fight between Present Day Michael and her Season One-era self.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: Downplayed, but Lorca and Landry being off on a mission during the Season One-era time jump is almost certainly a workaround to the expense and/or availability of bringing back Jason Isaacs and Rekha Sharma for short cameos. Saru only having a VO cameo during this same time period was likewise probably to avoid putting poor Doug Jones through the extensive prosthetic makeup just for one segment.
