Spoilers The Gorn should sue this show

[MarkusTay]

They had no zippers. Real Gorn had zippers... just sayin'

But I also went the 'different breed of same race' for something I am working on. There's even a bit of meta-canon that goes with that; originally, the species was called the 'Gorrin', but when the actors said it, it just sounded like 'Gorn' (I don't recall if it was actually changed int he script or not, but early drafts of the script had 'Gorrin').

So take your pick - The Gorrin is the race and 'Gorn' is a sub-species, or vice-versa. Doesn't matter.
In my personal writings I have them as a caste-based society with the different castes actually looking and behaving different. Solves all problems.

Curious. What makes a proper Gorn?

Manners maketh Gorn...

The Gorn still behave like monsters, not an intelligent space going people. Aliens franchise copies to boot. Im always disappointed when we are expected to believe a race goes through unification of its peoples, an industrial revolution, the rise of the nuclear age, the development of space travel, All just to have an intergalactic kegger and bloody smorgasbord.
(The other part of Trek that still bugs me it the total death toll of species of all kinds in every branch of trekdom. Surely there cant be anyone left alive to boldly go.)
Visually the Gorn are stunning and I am enjoying Strange new worlds and the new crew members. I dont think SNW going to be in the same multiverse as TOS though.The Spock/Chappel story ( Spappel? ) alone has gone to far to explain away.

Picard took a while to engage my interest but it finally did. Discovery I enjoyed very much too, Lower Decks great! lots of fun. Loved the Lower Decks SNW crossover. More please! But no more disingenuous slobbering carnivores. Hmm...I wonder what the Gorns Pro-noun is?

Disingenuous? How do you know they are not sincere?

It already is.

To be fair, the creatures of Earth are ridiculous in their behavior as well.

 

[Mudd]

Fuck the Gorn.

And by "fuck" I mean kill then all and let Q sort them out.

So I'm wondering if the Gorn is supposed to be an allegory for how humans farm animals that have proven to be fairly intelligent for food.

Pike cooks on the show and likes to use natural ingredients. I can't remember if he ever cooked meat though, but presumably he would want "real meat" if he was obsessed with having real herbs.

Bacon, back in episode 5 of this season.

So either it's like tofu bacon or Pike was happy to kill a pig...

Now I don't know how pigs rate in the animal intelligence hierarchy, but humans know that whales can communicate with space aliens because they literally stopped an alien probe from destroying earth, so...

 

[drt]

Could have been lab-grown bacon.

 

[firehawk12]

Could have been lab-grown bacon.

But we know he doesn't like lab grown herbs. lol

 

[Mudd]

I prefer to assume that bacon is bacon.

I'm an omnivore by choice.

 

[DaveyNY]

I'm an omnivore by birth.

My distant cave grandpa started the trend.

I think they're an allegory for xenomorphs with guns.

Intelligent species can be monsters. Look at humanity.

And there was intelligence shown in SNW. They have ships, EV suits, the Gorn in the saucer was trying to break into a computer, using its finger to type.

The Spock/Chappel story ( Spappel? ) alone has gone to far to explain away.

No it hasn't.

 

[firehawk12]

There's going to be a giant space pig probe that comes to Earth and wipes everyone out because of our love for bacon!

Humans still eat pork, bacon and other food from pigs as a middle finger to Tellarites.
