Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x09 - "All Those Who Wander"

Could it be the Gorn Insectoids? They could be using the USS Peregrine crew as ‘birthing sacks’… just like in that film ‘Aliens’!

 

I hope it's simply a deranged Starfleet Captain who's gone space bananas. Humans make the scariest monsters.

 

I mean.... come on. Somebody better be gettin' face hugged.

 

When I give this episode a score, I'm going to give it an extra point just for the title.

 

Peregrine seems to be NCC-1549, and it's Sombra class, but built with the same parts as the Connie (?!?!?!) XD

 

Episode just dropped early

 

they just turned the Gorn into the Xenomorphs.

 

They literally are chestbursters XD

 

so much for Lt. Duke and Cadet Chia.

 

well no matter in what universe, Leave it to a Kirk to aggravate a Spock.

 

I knew they were dead the moment they were introduced.

 

And not only them!

The hexagons in their Predator Vision (TM) suggests TOS eyes - perhaps they are hidden at this early stage and only pop out in the adults

 

Hemmer!!!!!!!!!! NO!!! So does this mean with Enterprise needing a new Chief Engineer, Scotty will be Introduced?

 

Or Olson, or Keenser

 

Won't lie. Losing Hemmer so soon was both shocking and a huge disappointment but it doesn't affect my respect for what the episode tried to do. I so wanted him to hang on for at least a few seasons before Scotty is assigned as Chief Engineer, but I guess if he had to go out in Season 1 this was as noble and fitting an end as any.

The Gorn must lose most or all of their tails by full maturity and become bipeds. And yeah, I side with the theory that their eyes become more compound as they reach adulthood.

 

I half expected him to say "game over man, game over!"

 

Sam Kirk went full McCoy AND Guy Fleegman in this episode. Impressive.

 

You pointy-eared ... !

 

I had a bad feeling about Hemmer this episode for some reason.
Kind of sucks but oh well what can you do.
