Shatner in Next Movie - Treklit Implications ?

[Christopher]

^We've seen populations abducted by aliens and transported across space various times in Trek. If there can be Indians on an alien world, cowboys in the Delphic Expanse, and Amelia Earhardt in the Delta Quadrant, why can't there be Gorn in another galaxy?

. . . there's been way too much time travel in Trek movies already.

Thank you, Marion Dulmur.

Oh, I wasn't dismissing it, I was just wondering if they did give an explanation or not.

No, no official explanation was given. I guess a group of Gorn being abducted by other aliens and sent to another galaxy is as good an explanation as any. Actually would clear some things up, like why these Gorn are so much more aggressive war hawks than the Prime ones are.

Well the more aggressive nature of the nuGorn could do with the fact that they're apparently augment Gorn.

Scaning their tech and the various types of Gorn gives in game guide info about the nuGorn that reveals they've been genetically inhancing themselves and incorporating traits from conquered species. Probably explains the whole reptilian species giving live birth thing.

You don't necessarily need genetic alteration to explain that; ovoviviparity is already a thing in nature, I don't think there's any reason why Gorn couldn't be ovoviviparous based on what's known in canon and Treklit so far. Depending on how you interpret "egg-layer".

^Except The Gorn Crisis showed that the Gorn lay hard-shelled eggs that develop outside their bodies.

The Gorn Crisis? I don't think I've ever heard of that one. What was that?

A TNG comic set during the Dominion War. Basically about Picard trying to get the Gorn to side with the federation.

Ah, that'd explain it; my knowledge of the comic side of Treklit is extremely scant. Thanks!

TrekLit Gorn use genetics as well. The differences between their casts are so vast that they have a different number of digits and different eyes, for example.

They might hail from three separate planets.

It's also one of a small handful of comics that have definitely been incorporated into the Novelverse. The only others I know of are the DS9 Relaunch/TNG crossover, Divided We Fall, Peter David's New Frontier comics, and the TNG miniseries Perchance to Dream, which introduced Ra'ch B'ullhy and the Damiani.

Some characters and ideas from Klingons: Blood Will Tell have been referenced in the novelverse. I think KRAD's "The Unhappy Ones" used Kang's crew from that comic.

I also threw a subtle reference to Peter David's "Retrospect" (DC Vol. 1 Annual 3) into one of my books -- I think it was Forgotten History. Then again, I also used a character from the post-TMP newspaper comic strip in the same novel.

And of course, the term "Aegis" for Gary Seven's employers comes from a Howard Weinstein DC comic.

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

Early Voyages and Starfleet Academy have characters and/or races that have been incorporated into the modern Treklit.

^Although it should be noted that incorporating characters or ideas from a work doesn't necessarily mean incorporating the work itself. (E.g. Batman comics incorporated Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya from Batman: The Animated Series, but were still a separate continuity from that series. Ditto with other comics-adaptation original characters from Jimmy Olsen to Phil Coulson. Which I only bothered to add because it rhymes.)

You bet it did. Ah, Jurva...

That's right, I forgot about Pava and Moves With Burning Grace (I haven't read any of his prose appearances, but I know from Memory Beta that he has made at least a couple).

 

[Christopher]

^Also I believe the Lirin from Early Voyages have been mentioned in Seekers.

 

[Mudang Harada]

I just listened to a podcast about that.

Where was Divided We Fall referenced?
