I really appreciate that they're starting to lean into the Klingon War as a major event that at least some of the characters lived through. The Discovery crew missed a lot of the worst of it due to their sojourn into the Mirror Universe, and when they returned, it was clear that things had gone very badly for the Federation.

Melissa Navia has talked about integrating what she knows of Ortegas' experiences in the war even during season one, so I think there will be more of this to come.
