To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before
J:
i've always suspected that the real backstory behind that episode might actually be a bitter roddenberry taking one last swipe at the network executives who wouldn't let him cast his girlfriend as the first officer.
Kugai:
But she did get to play Nurse
I'll be over there next to the guy in the red shirt
J:
hidden under a blonde wig & a stage-name, if i recall correctly

I have no idea how reliable this is, but I heard rumours about it on the Chinese grape-vine, and then came across:
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon‘s Michelle Yeoh is heading into the final frontier with Star Trek: Discovery. Sources confirm to Deadline that the upcoming CBS All Access iteration of the fabled franchise will see Yeoh playing a Starfleet Captain."
It goes on to say that her ship will be named Shenzhou, by which I assume they mean 神舟 (Shénzhōu) which is the name of the current series of Chinese crewed spacecraft, so it's a bit like putting a Russian actor in a ship called Vostock or Soyuz. :roll: I am confident that the cast will all mispronounce Shénzhōu, with the exception of Ms. Yeoh, unless the producers insist that she not show everyone else up. She was the only cast-member of Tomorrow Never Dies to pronounce Beijing correctly. :P
One hopes the Bujold curse does not strike again.
