After about the third version of the Klingons I just assume that, like earth, there are different races of all species and call it a day.

super-way-off-the-topic but at this point i'm assuming that, beside the partially Human Klingons we have canonically established by ENT season 4, at one end of the spectrum; there might also be Hur'q DNA in some of the really monster-y Klingons we saw later in the Kelvin timeline and Discovery.

Good episode. There hasn’t been a dud yet.

I find reading the comments exhausting these days. I think I’m getting to the point where I just want to enjoy Star Trek without all the melodrama and outrage from that segment of the fans.

Enjoyment is really a tertiary or Quaternary goal at this point.

first rule of the internet is to not read the comments
not even sure why i'm here in this backwater tbh
 
was Sam Kirk yelling at Spock paraphrasing Chris Pine's Kirk yelling at Spock for provoking an emotional response or paraphrasing Kirk doing the same thing in This Side of Paradise. layers like an onion this show

I get that the little gornbabies were all murderous and whatnot, but I think it needs to be said that the Enterprise crew basically killed a bunch of toddlers, with La'an literally freezing and smashing the corpse of a baby *sentient being* - who, for all they knew, was merely having the alien equivalent of the terrible twos. It wasn't some kind of animal. It was a person. Operating on a violent alien instinct, perhaps not even capable of reason or speech yet, but it was a person, not a monster. I don't think they tried very hard to corral it or communicate instead of just killing it as plan A.

According to La'an if they had done so and allowed it to survive into an adult, none of the crew would have made it out alive. So why bother? It would have just been a futile attempt leading to their death.

I find once the episode threads pass 25 pages, I only tend to read replies to my own posts to be honest. There's just way too much to wade through, and most of the comments like five days out are either redundant with earlier comments, trollish whinging, or complete off-topic discussion.

Sam Kirk is every fan who gets to serve on a Star Trek ship and tries to be both professional and cool while frequently failing to be either. :lol:

We will always be thinking we'll be as cool as Picard or Spock and really we'll be stumbling over ourselves at every turn.

ETA: Disappointing beginning to this episode, many setting the stage tropes had me rolling my eyes. I was down to rating it an 8 before it finally started to tell the real story here which had my rating back to 10 by the episode's end.

Great follow up episode, TAS: Mudd's Passion.

They had me at "There will always be a place on the Enterprise for Nyota Uhura."
 
I had to give this episode a 6. I don't like what they did with the Gorn, and they killed off my favorite character of the series. I really wish we had spent more time with Hemmer, and I will miss him.

There was plenty of this episode I did like, such as the Alien Vibes and Uhura's arc, as well as Spock not being able to control his emotions. However, those two things (The Gorn and Hemmer) are big detractors for me.

Hemmer is telepathic. I suspect his consciousness will be visiting a crew member or two in the future. Or he's somehow cloned by an unknown alien species for their own reasons. Or a combination of the two!

Hemmer lives!

Head canon.

Or Deborah and Dr M'Benga's are waiting at the bottom of that gorge. ;)

Or that was the plan from the beginning and Horak knew it when he signed up

It was confirmed in an interview that he knew from the beginning that Hemmer was going to die.

He said he isn't done with Star Trek though. Though he didn't specify if that meant he was coming back to SNW or one of the other series.

I think the last scene of her on the bridge with a standard patch on is saying that she's staying. And she's an ensign.

That's too easy. Something has to happen where they realize they need her (or need her back) and she realizes the Enterprise is where she wants to be.

And Klingons, Trill, etc.

This should be a default and noncontroversial.

I would say the difference between TOS and SNW Gorn is more striking than any differences between Klingons. Even TOS and Discovery. It's just different since we've seen the Gorn far less.

Nothing compares to the Trill, though.

She's still wearing a cadet badge in the last scene, and has no rank insignia.
