    To be clear, a pastiche is not a violation of copyright. If it were, Star Trek would have been cancelled in TOS Season One, because a large percentage of TOS's episodes were pastiches of older films.

    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.

    We know that the Gorn who massacred a civilian population on Cestus III know what they did.

    The Metrons even offered to destroy them.;)

    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.

    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.
