Are the Gorn not made of normal atoms and molecules? That their eggs can't be detected by transporters goes beyond any realistic fictional science and basically into magical territory just to emphasize the incurable nature of egg implantation.

Last I checked, if it isn't on screen then it isn't canon. Nothing ties this Kyle to TOS Kyle any more than Enterprise's Krell to TOS Krell. And I say this as an Asian myself. There's no attempt to make the characters look similar. Last I checked, Spock was listed as having married in the official Star Trek website https://www.startrek.com/database_article/spock and this still isn't accepted as canon even though the website is run by CBS/Paramount.

It's quite possible that whatever the Gorn Pregnancy DNA does to the Host body involves adapting the growing of the eggs (larva?) by using the hosts own DNA.
Thus possibly rendering it undetectable by a normal scan.

It could also reduce the risk of rejection.
 
Assuming the Mirror Universe Gorn is also a kind we see in our universe that could mean at least two kinds of bipedal Gorn with more humanoid gaits and build. They adapted in part from humanoid egg hosts, taking some of that DNA.

i mean, this is exactly what happens in the Aliens franchise after all and since now the Gorn are pretty much the Xenomorphs in most aspects…

Assuming the Hell is eternal and the sould doesn't die Hawkeye is full of crap. In war you can die instantly and get it over with.
 
Hawkeye was always full of crap, whenever there was a little room left over from being full of himself.

There's nothing worse than an armchair philosopher whose philosophy stinks. I used to like MASH on the whole, but I intensely disliked that smarmy f--k of a character.
