...I wonder how and why the Gorn will show up again...
I think it would be interesting to see the actual rescue situation played out on screen. In TOS S1 The Menagerie, we hear what happened and see the result on Christopher Pike; but showing Pike's actions in the rescue would be something new and a 'payoff' in showing just what he actually does when the time comes.The only way I would have any interest in seeing Pike's injury revisited on Strange New Worlds would be if they jumped ahead to the events of The Menagerie and told that story from the perspective of Pike's former crew, all playing their own parts in Spock's plan to return Pike to Talos. Uhura's part is already a lock. Kirk said he had no idea about what happened to Pike despite it being all over the subspace chatter.

Didn't they show him ordering the cadets out of the area in DSC? He orders them out, I think gets another cadet to their feet, then you see the shot of him up against the glass before cutting to seeing himself in the wheelchair.I think it would be interesting to see the actual rescue situation played out on screen.

You also can't assume everyone watching this series knows or has seen just what happens between Pike and Spock in TOS S1 The Menagerie either.
Again, you can't assume everyone has seen stuff form ST: D either.Didn't they show him ordering the cadets out of the area in DSC? He orders them out, I think gets another cadet to their feet, then you see the shot of him up against the glass before cutting to seeing himself in the wheelchair.

Who?In a recent interview, Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Meyers say they had talks with Russell T Davies about doing an SNW/Doctor Who crossover, and the DW easter eggs in S3 such as the TARDIS being seen on that scavenger or Pelia talking about her adventures with a time travelling doctor were meant to be references to that.
