How the Gorn would have looked in Star Trek!

Re: Dumb and Bizarre Trek Novel Moments...

Hmm...I wonder (in an ultra nerdy way) if that's the same Salt Vampire from TOS? Wasn't it meant to be the last of it's people? Maybe it escaped from Rura Penthe before finding Roger Korby, and endured all sorts of hell before getting killed by the TOS crew. Cue "The Salt Vampire Chronicles" comic series...

Nah...call it The Salt Vampire Diaries. Turn it into a TV series, load it with lots of teen angst, and set it to a pop soundtrack. It'll be a minor hit on the CW.

You're confusing "lack of interest" with "having a sense of humor."

So I'm guilty of having my own personal view of ST?

Not at all. You can believe anything you like. But when you use your "personal view" of ST to argue about "real" ST, then you'd better be prepared for people to counter your arguments.

And really Dukhat, this a forum. People complain all the time. I'd much rather hang out with folks like that than people like you who just want to diss users directly.

I'm just calling it like it is, and I'm sure you know that. And please, it's not like I'm calling you a nasty name or something.

And what are you talking about insignificant? If you're going to go for a creature that looks like a Gorn and you flat out say it was "inspired by the Gorn", why not just call it a Gorn? Especially if it takes place in, you know, Star Trek. It's like making a creature in Star Wars that has a striking resemblance to a wookie, but you say it's not because it was only 'inspired' by a wookie. What's the point? Sometimes a cigar SHOULD just be a cigar.

Since the scene wasn't even shown, and even if it were to be, these aliens would most likely be in the far background, then it's not really that big a deal, is it? Certainly not as big a deal as you seem to feel it is. But obviously that's my opinion.
