Anyone?

No matter how nice the size or resolution, I still wish that MU Gorn had looked a bit more like the classic TOS one...if not as rubbery or fakey in spots.;) I know this is the Mirror Universe and *technically* you can explain the slight differences in appearances between the two types of Gorn, but it remains one of the ONLY things about that episode I don't like.

Yeah, I didn't like that it wasn't more like the "original" Gorn. How did they think they could improve on a guy in a rubber suit?
 
I prefer the original Gorn instead of the cgi one we saw in Enterprise and the remastered TOS.It looks better than the remastered one they had on tv a few weeks ago when they the Tos show again.

The only time the MU Gorn looked like the classic one is when its lurking in the conduits and shadows above Mirror Archer...right before it jumps down on top of him.
 
I liked the Gorn in IAMD...
I thought it was decent CG by TV standards, especially with S4 having a lower budget and all. Better realised when put up against Xindi Insectoids or Species 8472.

Apparently they did a pretty amazing make-up job for a Gorn on Star Trek 2009, but it got cut... I seem to recall seeing it alongside a new version of the Salt Vampire creature in some behind the scenes extra.
 
^^

Yeah, I think the salt vampire and Gorn were to be in a Klingon holding facility(?)

I saw a clip of the cut-scene, and while I think it wuold have been cool to see some classic aliens, I think the scene had to be cut because it seemed so slow and somewhat out of place.

Yeah, I understand as well. But it was so cool to see that makeup there...and makes one wonder if, in the changed timeline after Nero arrived, the Klingons had raided planet M113 and taken several salt vampires prisoner as slave labor or something.:)
 
I'd be interested to see what they came up with for '09. The Gorn in IAMD to me kind of looked more like a chubby retarded velociraptor. I'll stick with the guy in the rubber suit, thankyaverymuch.

You never know...;)

With Nero's change to the timeline, anything is possible...

Chekov's hair was actually human-looking. ANYTHING is possible when you change history.:lol:

Halleleujah! Another person who actually still likes TOS Rubbersuit Gorn!Hey, at least, as someone here at BBS recently reminded me in a post, his eyes blinked in the 2.0 version! The MU one didn't do it for me...but I did like that the STE Gorn was fast...Kirk could have outrun, if not forever, his adversary as shown. But either is amazingly strong. It's one of my two favorite guest species.

True dat! You know, the professor in 'ManTrap' told Kirk it was the last of its kind...but who's to say, as suggested, that an Imperial vessel didn't happen by the planet before he and Nancy started their work...BTW, I had no idea there were to have been a Salt Vamp and a Gorn in the film!Great, if unrealized.I have the dvd, is it in that, or the blu-ray behind-the-scenes/deleteds?I would LOVE to see a Gorn-or more!-in the next film, but I am not expecting the latter...

I like the way you conjecture on things unseen in the TREK universe...original continuity/universe or not!:techman:
