Even though it is the only specimen of the species they have, so the whole project depends on keeping it healthy. Captain Angry: "I don't care if it's happy or healthy, we have a war to win!" <Michael sets it free and they can never use the spore-drive again> (I just spoiled episode 5 for everyone)

Watched all five episodes of The Orville now, and I quite like stuff like them watching Seinfeld on the viewscreen. Because what the gently caress else are you gonna do with a bigass display when you're X hours out from your destination and the ship's on a fixed course in FTL?

Most likely what's going to happen is that the time device will used later as it will still be magically in his desk. Otherwise they would've had a shot of it being destroyed or fading away instead of tossed into his drawer.

If your time device wasn't immune to changing timelines, you'd probably never make it back to your own time. Edit: Wait, sorry. The device was a transporter I think?

why does the saucer section of the discovery spin around like a loving turntable what possible loving function does that have It's like Voyager's folding nacelles but even more impractical the more I watch this show the more I hate it. hmm yes these Starfleet officers are perfectly OK torturing an unknown species for scientific gain even though Equinox did that in the Delta quadrant and even Diktator Janeway got bitchy about it

I wonder how the quarterly captain's reviews went with that guy once he integrated into the crew.  So, any complaints or issues you'd like to bring up? This is a totally informal conversation Remember that time you tortured me by locking me in the cargo bay and letting the pissed off aliens go to town? The gently caress was that about No complaints good to hear, get me another covfefe.

I thought the folding nacelles were so subspace wasn't damaged when they went to high warp, through the magic of forty five degree angles.

Was it just me or were both sections of the saucer spinning counter to each other? How were they even connected to to the stardrive?
