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

[Detached Nacelle]

Circling back to the episode, my incapable-of-letting-things-go brain has come up with a rickety headcanon for the Gorn variants we've seen thus far. These parasitic Gorn in SNW operate to cleanse the nearby regions and then go into hibernation until needed again. The more civilised Gorn types like Slar and the one from Arena are the ones running the Hegemony and deploy their bioweapon cousins when they need to do some interstellar gerrymandering.

They also probably reproduce differently since Kelvin McCoy talked about performing caesarian on a pregnant Gorn (admittedly the tie-in game literally had those Gorn coming from another galaxy but oh well)

Since it's considered a hegemony why not multiple species from multiple planets or originally from outside the galaxy?

Why does it only have to be one species? How 3 dimensional.

 

[Fateor]

No it doesn't. The aggressive ones are just the juveniles, the few adults we've seen have not acted the same as their young.

*points at the adults being controlled by magic solar flares*

Quite right. Somehow this version of the gorn need humanoid for food and to store their young? Also they somehow developed advanced tech better than starfleet? How are they doing all this like constantly having fi find food sources and incubators for the their eggs. Badly written. Give me the slow moving Gorn any day.

You'd think the writers would know that humanoids are horrible sources of food due to how long they take to mature...

I have to say that I’m curious as to how they reproduced on their home planet before achieving space travel and using aliens as hosts. Was there some other race on their planet that they laid eggs inside of?

Given the speed of Gorn hatchling development whatever they were would need to breed like tribbles.

They seemed to breed slowly compared to Tribbles

Each other. They may not have been unified in the past...and using other lifeforms on their planet.

Then you must really dislike every Star Trek series in existence.

They can't even keep track of their own continuity which is extreme laziness on their part.

HAHAHA...

Oh my goodness. If I had a dollar for every show I love that couldn't keep it's own continuity I'd be rich. MASH, Night Court, Rules of Engagement, Star Trek (TOS), TNG, Star Wars, and that's off the top of my head.

I’m not really buying that theory.

It's a tv show. I stopped thinking about it hard after Hemmer died.
