>That feel when the trilithium resin has dissipated into major population centers juuuust right

So the whole plot is that Discovery never makes it home, right? They're trying to respect canon a little more what with the Defiant reference, and Discovery never coming back explains he Federation not discovering how to see through the Klingon cloak, and maybe abandoning the spore drive project and transferring those resources into transwarp research.

It would be pretty cool if Discovery is Star Trek: Sliders, and they pull a Sam Beckett never made it home.

>So the whole plot is that Discovery never makes it home, right?
I hope so, but I sincerely doubt it. See, the show is named after the Discovery. What's the show going to be about if the Discovery never comes back and just disappears without a trace? Yeah, that solves the plot hole of "why have we never heard of the mushroom torture machine before" but it doesn't make financial sense from the studio's standpoint. More likely, they'll return to the prime universe at the end of season 1, somehow edit the torturedrive out of existence/history, and try and be a more reasonable show in season 2+.

Reposting in new bread:
What's the easiest and/or most interesting way to make a Chief Medical Officer question whether to violate the Hippocratic Oath? Other than Tuvix-type scenarios.

Fulfilling the oath would actually cause harm. Basically, write a scenario where sticking to the bounds of good practices and current knowledge isn't enough and some bad practices are what is necessary to successfully heal someone. Think Nazi science, but necessary instead of for fun.

>Think Nazi science, but necessary instead of for fun.
This. We had a great debate a few months backs regarding the Voyager episode "Nothing Human". In it, the Doctor enlists the help of a holographic representaton of Crell Moset, a Cardassian doctor who just so happens to be the one of the finest xeno-biological doctors in the Alpha Quadrant. Unfortunately, most of his research and findings are a direct result of Mengele-tier experiments on Bajorans and other species.

Yeah, this is in line with what I was talking about. Place the character in a position where, in order to uphold the Oath in spirit, they must break it in practice by turning to forbidden and medically unsound experimentation or techniques. Does the CMO let the patient die to uphold the letter of the Oath and not using questionable science or do they violate their principles to save a life?

It'd be better if they find the Defiant and realize, "Oh shit, this is from yet another universe. Look at this shity uniforms! And how misogynistic and backward are those skirts!"

"I bet those faggots don't even allow genetic augmentation!"
