Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x10 - "Hegemony"

[Mudd]

computers running on 3.5 inch floppy discs...

Amazingly, the designerss didn't even know that's what they were...

 

[IMC Headquarters]

GORN: I'm not like the others. I just want to make cheese. You haven't lived until you've tried my Gorngonzola.



GORN: Your canon will not affect me, invader!

 

[DaveyNY]

It's entirely possible that the Gorn Captain fighting Kirk in TOS was nearing the end of its lifecycle.
Its slow and plodding demeanor may just be how an elderly Gorn behaves.

The Metrons didn't give either side the chance to select their best fighter, they just chose the Captain of each starship.
Perhaps Gorn Commanders are picked for their lifetime of knowledge, not their fighting skills.

Most lizards here on Earth only live to be 30 or 40 years old, maybe the Gorn don't live much beyond that either.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

I think the Gorn Captain had a bad head cold. Just listen to the poor thing sniffling and gurgling.

Seriously disadvantaged.

Yes, I'm serious.

Spoiler

We see what appears to be her and Pike hugging in the trailer

Spoiler

Just like we saw Goose hugging Mrs. Goose when she got off the plane in TOPGUN? We all know how that turned out.

 

[DaveyNY]

Lizards can catch their own form of a "cold' (respiratory infection), but it's not the same virus as a human cold.

 

[Jedi Marso]

Heh. All these attempts to reconcile the Gorn of SNW with Arena are entertaining.

I'll take my shot:

Maybe the Metrons weren't as all powerful and smart as they think they are, and the alien captain in Arena isn't a Gorn at all, but something else- the Metrons simply got their species mixed up. All us corporeals look alike to them...

If we can't have the old Gorn I hope we'll at least get some more examples of GORN FASHION.

Perhaps the Gorn are a ‘Federation’ of various reptilian races.

Perhaps the Gorn are a ‘Federation’ of various reptilian races.

Maybe even a hegemony, if I may be so bold.

GORN CAPTAIN:

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down

That's the climax in this week's episode.

NEXT TIME ON: STRANGE NEW WORLDS

 

[Cpt. MAGA Man]

I'm not seeing Ortegas on the bridge at her station. A redshirt dude is sitting at her station and Pike is in the chair with his away team tactical gear on indicating they returned from their mission.

Or they’re about to leave.

M'Benga could probably talk to him

 

[IMC Headquarters]

SPEAKER: This is Kobayashi Maru...Marie Batel...nineteen periods out of Altair Six. We have struck a gravitic mine and have lost all power. ...Our hull is penetrated and we have sustained many casualties. Our position is Gorn Fishing, episode ten.




APRIL: Hmm...could be a Gorn trap. Why don't you send a probe or DOT's for confirmation. Oh? What? It's outside our jurisdiction? Shiiit. Why don't I just send a message to Klingon Chancellor L'Rell to tell her if her warriors want some action, I might just have some for them.


PIKE: I gave her my hair gel formula. Could be worth a favor.


APRIL: Yeah. Right. So DOT the I's and cross those T's, Chris. Don't provoke the Gorn. You've looped Aliens on playback too many times in that cabin of yours. They're not cuddly, but they're not exactly Exomorphs. Say...was Marie wearing red last time you saw her? I keep getting these mortality statistics on my desk and guess which division color has the heaviest casualty rate? I'm beginning to think we should switch to pastels across the whole fleet soon. And I'm going to send the Exeter to rendezvous with you. Captain Tracey and his crew scored the highest battle proficiency of any ship in the quadrant.



PIKE: Thanks Bob. I hear he's a space cowboy. A little loose in the saddle. And cukoo for Cocoa Puffs.


APRIL: Giddyup Buttercup. April out.

 

[TRON JA307020]

I find the cannonistas so tiring. And 90% of the time the thing they are so upset about isn't really even a direct contradiction/violation.

Yeah, it is kind of odd that they don't know about Gorn space in TOS, but do in SNW. Maybe this episode will give a hint as to why that is? Watch and find out before getting one's panties in a bunch about it. Getting uoset about an episode BEFORE IT AIRS is so silly.

And I have zero issues with retconing the look of any species, especially the techno/budget inhibited TOS. Guys in rubber suits, Klingons with painted faces, and computers running on 3.5 inch floppy discs is all good riddance. And make no sense in 2023.

Uh actually they brought the floppies back in the trial ep this season. Youre welcome.

 

[Captain Jollydark]

I noticed and now I'm all a-scared for her.
