Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x01 - "Hegemony, Part II"

Boxing might be a way to cope with the injury. To prove it's not a big deal. ( even though it is). Some people respond to trauma by denying it.

That's extremely common in managing trauma. Plus not wanting people to be constantly asking after it.

And I was replying that they don't need much in an explanation; there's one built in.

Well it had better be one hell of a trauma to make this strong character want to return to the same ship with this man she's in love with, doesn't hide it, gets picked on by her boss about it and except for a single time when he's suffering through Pon Farr and gives her some kindness, doesn't get a thing in return those feelings. Oh except that one time he puts his consciousness in her body to help Sargon. That's her reward.

Sure, trauma can change people but that extent of a change....eh. It's not that built in.

It may, but a mention would have been appreciated. If it's brought up next week or coming up, fine.

Strongly disagree.

Can SNW really be said to be "prematurely cancelled" when they're giving a two year advance notice that it's ending? And Picard ended after three seasons of its own accord, it wasn't cancelled.

Also, we live in an era where five seasons is considered a full run with many shows voluntarily pulling the plug after five seasons. Granted, that wasn't the case with Disco or Lower Decks, both of which had hopes for a sixth season, but the modern Trek shows still shouldn't be considered failures just because they ended after five seasons.

Plus, as much as I hate this, we'll never see a STAR TREK series hit 100 episodes again, not with seasons having 10 episodes each in the current landscape.

Hitting 100 episodes used to be a benchmark of not only being able to hit that, but for a show to be able to be sold into syndication. (Even 80 episodes worked for some shows.) Syndication just isn't a thing anymore, so studios aren't so focused on hitting that number anymore.

Blink and you'll miss it (pardon the pun!) but the Gorn are shown to have an outer horizontal eyelid ↖️↗️ and an inner, vertical, separately opening and closing eyelid ⬅️➡️↙️↘️ in #StarTrekSNW's "Hegemony II"...and that eyelid is sparkling silver, like the Gorn eyes in "Arena"!!! 😊🧵 1/3

I think they showed this in the Gorn BTS piece on the Ready Room.

Cope and seethe.

I think you've got the seething part down pat.

Wow. They really Best of Both Worlds’d that ending. It works, but I feel like DIS would have come up with something more creative than a rehash if put in the same situation.

I do not understand the bellyaching over the Gorn. After complaints about ENT’s Gorn, and knowing that the TOS Gorn is a bit dated. And short of updating the TOS Gorn with animatronics (think Shran’s movable antennae), that appearance is not coming back in live action.

The writers have an out though, if its that much of a concern. Just reveal them to be the Tzenkethi, and have been mislabelled the Gorn by Starfleet. After all, very little about the Tzenkethi is know, including first contact. And as that species in beta canon is as diverse as the Xindi, there is no real issue with how they look. They even can, and probably should, have the Orions reveal their mistake, since they canonically would know what a Gorn looks like.

If Trek has shown that the Xindi can have 6× very different species come from the same home planet?

Why can't there be different Reptilian Sub-Species coming from the same Home World?

Each one looks significantly different, but all are part of the same "Gorn Hegemony".

One looks like TOS Gorn, the other ENT Gorn, the other SNW Gorn.

Just like Klingons can have many physical variations, Gorn can have the same as well.

Let's not forget that the Andorians have their Sub-Species cousins in the Aenar.

Vulcans have the Off-Shoot Species in "The Romulans".

I enjoyed it! I gave it a 6 cause the writing was way too lazy, but I am glad we have this crew back.
I missed them.

For all my quibbles with the Gorn design for SNW I do like their ships a lot. It was really cool seeing so many in this episode.
