From the Ready Room regarding the Gorn ship designs
"The goal was [...] to design a ship that doesn't look like a ship that we would understand"
 
I think the novelization of NEM had a Gorn attending Riker and Troi's wedding but I don't think any makeup was designed for an extra for the movie.

Makes sense, although for the Gorn I would've expected something slightly more... functional, I guess.
 
The Gorn is being portrait like Borg in TNG here. But why there is no Gorn in any TNG era shows? Are they extinct or something?

None of those ships happened across them.

Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space
 
Loved this episode. My favorite of the season so far. The stakes were high, but the crew worked together and survived.
 
Biggest problem with the effects was scale, I think.

The black hole looked comically small.
So it must have been on the smallest scale a black hole can be.
It was in the process of consuming a brown dwarf, which accounts for the accretion disc.
Can someone give an estimate how fast the matter in the disc would be swirling around the BH and how dense the disc must be?
It‘s not the gravity that would endanger the ship, it would be high energy particle bombardment of ultra hot gas at close to light speed, I think.
 
It did have a few missteps for me:
- Reference to debunked pseudoscience as I mentioned earlier
- Sloppy handling of translation of Gorn language by La'an's bro
- Sparks on the bridge again and shield percentages
- Gorn ship design is not very interesting
- Etc.

But nothing that really detracts from the enjoyment.

But no flamethrowers!
No rocks!
Sparks i can understand.
