Why don't the Borg assimilate the Gorn instead of repeatedly trying to take Earth? Sounds like they have a lot more to offer in terms of "biological distinctiveness" to add to the Collective than the humans, one of the shortest lived and weakest species in the galaxy.

Well, there is an answer. Borg afraid of Gorn.

Well, Gorn society can also work like the Dominion. This Gorn that we have encounter may just a biological weapon that invented and developed by the prime Gorn species. They may just the genetic engineering Gorn that made specially for combat. While the real Gorn / prime Gorn is a smart species that capable of making a spaceship and conduct a space travel. But they are slow and unsuited for combat.

Oh, that's interesting. If I remember that I may be able to live with these Gorn. Because I'm pretty attached to the Gorn that was sitting on the couch with Sheldon Cooper.
 
The Borg should assimilate the Voth so this could be a reality.

How the Gorn are born. Since they can deposit eggs in a host within hours of hatching I'm sure wondering about their reproduction. Do the Gorn get born with male and female reproductive equipment in their bodies? There wasn't time for any mating to go on so what gives? Without sexual reproduction they are just budding like hydras because there is no chromosome swap.

Well, We can assume that the Gorn in this episode is actually very different to the Gorn in TOS and episode 4. I think that this episode Gorn is a genetic engineering creature that made by the Gorn to terror their enemy. Maybe they genetic engineering their own to make a feral creature that can effectively hunt the enemies, or maybe this episode 9 is a feral creature that happen in Gorn planet that engineered to become a weapon.
All the Gorn thing in SNW are based on Laan perspective. So we can assumed that Laan doesn't has the full knowledge of Gorn. She may only know a glimse of them, and then she assumed based on her experience.

Tell me you don't read YA or romance without telling me you don't read YA or romance.

we should also be thankful this is star trek and not game of thrones because tpring is so horny that had this been game of thrones she will have invited chapel to share spock's bed wit them to explore the ''human sexuality''

There are plenty of criticisms to be made of Game of Thrones's depiction of sexuality, but this is absolutely not one of them.

SNW can brag about how much progress it made to the dated 60s but one thing is clear in season 1. the main goal for tpring and chapel is to get spock into their individual bed.

What a disgusting thing to say. If you honestly reduce questions of love and partnership to that, then you've got some issues.

Its bullshit to keep just pushing TOS to the side. It came first, its events take priority over any NuTrek.

I would prefer to consider DSC/SNW its own timeline, but if they are going to claim to be Prime then the events of TOS will be taken into account, even if the technology is at least a hundred years more advanced in SNW then anything in TOS, the ships are insultingly huge, etc.

There's another interpretation, and it was one Roddenberry himself appears to have favored, if Richard Arnold is to be believed -- TOS is its own thing, and it's not entirely canon to 1987-present Star Trek. Flipside, something like the original series happened in Picard's past and (eventually) Archer and Burnham's future, but it's not exact to what we saw on screen in the 60s.

Point is, if you want to play the Watsonian game and make it all fit, even the inconsistencies, have at it. Or you can just enjoy each piece of the puzzle on its own terms.

I like Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, and Prometheus.

Alien: Covenant is a piece of shit, and I flat-out ignore both Alien vs. Predator movies.

The first Alien is in my list of Top 10 Favorite Movies Ever. Ellen Ripley is one of my favorite characters in Cinema.

Anyway, the Gorn being more like the Xenomorphs is something I consider to be a plus. Like I said before, I didn't really like the original Gorn. Actually, why am I even mincing words? I thought the Gorn looked fucking stupid in TOS. Sorry. I know that'll make some people mad at me, but I couldn't take the Gorn seriously. I like the episode for the message and for the Metrons.

Or perhaps T’Pring is genuinely trying to make a relationship work by trying to better understand her fiancee and decide whether they are compatible and flirtatious, commitment phobic Chapel has gotten emotionally involved in spite of herself, even though she knows better and Spock is attracted to both women for different reasons. Character development and storytelling is always a good thing.
