Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x09 - "All Those Who Wander"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Good episode but now I want all the Gorn wiped out for some reason, it just left me feeling angry
Anger is understandable, but bear in mind that so far as we know, the Gorn we saw in "All Those Who Wander" was literally just a child. We don't know if it had any understanding of its actions.
Shades of the Alien franchise (none of which I've actually seen). And proof that they can do horror shock scenes without falling back on the "eye-scream."
I imagine a gag-reel bit of a chest-burster Gorn doing a "Michigan J. Frog" impression, a la the diner scene in Spaceballs.
Also shades of TWOK at the end.
I will note that the whole business of juvenile Gorn being capable of reproducing, and their extremely rapid development, doesn't work all that well with what was established in "Arena." Nor with typical real world life cycles.
It definitely would have been better with the deleted scenes included on the DVD, than it is without them. Even if it would have pushed the total running time to well over an hour. Much the same as the Director's Cut of TMP is a much stronger movie than the theatrical cut was.

What class was the ship they found on the planet? I thought they said they landed it.
SNW III: The Search for Hemmer
Sombra Class.
Thank you
aka the ''totally not constitution''
Miranda class: roll bar.
Soyuz class: Miranda without a roll bar.
Welcome to Starfleet thinking.

It had more differences than that, but yes it was 75% Miranda class.
IIRC there are some Gorn puppet shenanigans on the gag reel.
Or maybe that was the Ready Room episode segment on the Gorn.

Perhaps they were vastly different internally.
Clearly we are living in the End Times.
Is the actor Bruce Horak's leaving by his own choice? Or is he wanting to leave like 1 of those Denise Crosby type decision. As on IMDB, he has no upcoming TV show/ movies. Is he that on the script way back at the beginning that he knows his life span is 9 episodes?
The whole episode is an exact clone of the movie Alien
He was only contracted for one season.
Since nothing even touching on the subject came up in "Arena," it works perfectly fine.
TOS, DSC, LD and ENT Gorn are one kind of adult (bipedal, no tail). The hatchlings look and behave like we see in SNW.
Maybe there are two Gorn species? Maybe the area now occupied by the Hegemony was controlled by Ancient Reptilians in the past, instead of the Ancient Humanoids in the rest of the galaxy. The xenoGorn in SNW are the "uncivilized" Gorn from -er- Gornus Secondus, but all the other series' Gorn are from Gornus Prime. (If you want, you could split the TOS and ENT Gorn this way too, by saying there are three Gorn species.)
