So, if anyone has seen both, how does it compare to Hyperdrive, my go-to Trek parody series.

I do, however, remember Geordie telling some off-color jokes to Data when he was still manning the helm. Data, of course, analyzed them to death.
Not really. The flow of time is not uniform across the Universe. It can be slowed by fields of high gravitational or other energies. Everything is relative.
I like it! 
Yes, really.
So you adhere to the Newtonian concept of absolute time? :dubious:
Someone upthread mentioned that the scientists had spliced water bear DNA into the redwoods.
It has a pleated aluminum dome over the saucer section.
Whch would make one wonder how ‘eating’ the seeds could be a good idea.
1.) Yes, time is slowed down by movement and gravity, but there is nothing that we know of that speeds up time relative to the external universe.
2.) Even if it were possible to speed up time within an small field, sticking your hand (as in ST:TNG) or head (as in The Orville) into that accelerated time field would not make your hand or head age until it was elderly because your blood is being pumped from your heart still outside the field, so that all blood supply would effectively be cut off to that part of your body in the accelerated time field and the cells in that body part would die within minutes from the POV of time passage within the field and virtually instantly from the POV outside.
As to whether or not the body part (or a banana) will rot takes a little more speculation and depends on the nature of the field. One thing for sure is that it would be very dark inside the field–if time is passing 100 times (to pick one number) more quickly, then there will be 100 times less light available inside the field (the number of photons entering the field per second from the outside is fixed, but there are 100 times more seconds on the inside than outside.) That in itself is enough to end the possibility of growing crops inside such a field (unless you surround it with extremely intense floodlights.) Also air would be diffusing 100 times more slowly into the field than diffusing out of the field (and traveling 100 times more quickly on the inside from the POV of the outside–would that make the interior of the field turn into a partial vacuum? I’m not sure.) The inside of the field would loose heat very rapidly from the outside POV, and the human body part or banana would most likely freeze solid before they had a chance to begin rotting.
Yes, it is really, really, really stupid science.
*Transparent *aluminum, no doubt! 
You sound like you could use a salad.
Now we are back to the “porthole for a ceiling” thing.
Somehow I doubt they’ll have Neil deGrasse Tyson or Michio Kaku consulting on the science. It’s not the point, anyway…or perhaps it is the point, but in reverse.
My Mother warned me about water melon seeds.
Interesting post. But since the flow of time is not uniform across the Universe, I’d say it’s more a matter of making things inside a pocket age less slowly than in the surrounding environment, which to my mind is not quite the same as “speeding up” time. There are no absolutes in the external Universe, so there are undoubtedly regions where time *does *flow faster than it does for you and me here on Earth. What they did on Orville was to create these conditions artificially.
As to how this might affect conditions *inside *the bubble, I haven’t really given it much thought. However, time travel *does *require the traveler’s arrow of time to continue in the same direction (and at the same rate) inside the field as outside it, regardless of whether he’s going into the past or the future. Otherwise, he would age abnormally or be rejuvenated, depending on his destination.
Spit or swallow!
Which is why it’s called science fiction. 
I predict this will become the new “Settle down, Beavis!”
