Michelle Yeoh cast in Star Trek Discovery

Holy wow. The new Star Trek tv series just cast Michelle Yeoh as a Starfleet captain – not the main character (who, though as yet uncast, is also a woman, and likely to be a woman of color), and actually not the captain of the Discovery. Yeoh’s character is reported to be the captain of the Shenzhou, which will “play a big role” in the series.
