The presentation is all wrong.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x10 - "Hegemony"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Ooh! Given the deception in Arena, could the Gorn trying to break into the Cayuga's computers been trying to send a distress signal to lure more ships to the area?
Perhaps. But if not that specially, then definitely general information gathering that later leads to the ability to do the Arena deception.
Any distress signal would have been drowned out by the jamming.
Lizzo was probably wanting to synthesize a Pepsi.
Deception?
The Federation built a colony in Gorn Space, because Gorn signage is shit.

Other than Kirk's "Metrons called a Gorn" comment, there aren't really any reactions one way or another to the Gorn reveal.

They still faked messages pretending to be the outpost, to get the Enterprise to come.
Yep, they clearly wanted the Enterprise in orbit and people on the ground to capture or kill. No doubt looking for intel.
Wow, mirror T'Pol in TOS uniform was super hot.
Only flaw in an otherwise excellent episode was the fact that Chapel was the only survivor and Spock found her. Enterprise crew effectively gambled on that whole section of ship having no life signs. Were there other survivors?
Otherwise this series has clearly become the best of Kurtzman trek. Just wish they filmed more EPs a season!

Re: Kirk and Gorn
Kirk also had no idea who Surak, the founder of Vulcan society, was, so Kirk's awareness of things not directly in front of him is dubious, it seems.
Also, does Kirk seem to be giving that log entry telepathically? Or is he narrating after the fact as if he was reliving it?

After the fact, but while still on the planet. probably while we were watching the commercial. He thinks the translator can record messages.
They should just give us a lame explanation about human Noonien-Singh DNA being fused to Gorn on that breeding planet La'An escaped from, to produce the mutation Kirk witnessed and didn't recognize.
I mean, fandom swallowed that nonsense whole to ease their discomfort with the Klingons.

Sigh, DS9 could have solved the Klingons by just not mentioning it. Have Worf made up to look like a TOS Klingon when he was on K7, no one says anything, when he's on Defiant he looks like a MT Klingon. Don't say anything. Let the audience grasp the Klingons always looked like this just the limits of 1960s TV prevented it.
But, no, they had to say something...

Blame ENT, they felt the need to break the 4th wall and explain.
DS9 pointed out the difference instead of just ignoring it and making it seem as there was no difference at all. That they said there was a difference meant somewhere the difference had to be explained.
TOS Worf would have been a lot more fun.
Would have been a nice nod like how SNW went with the Balance of Terror lighting and camera angles.
