Will We Ever See a Trek Crossover...

[fireproof78]

I'm not against adding depth or expanding on their culture or making them look more realistic, but this just seems to be a tad bit too far.

That line will vary for many. For me, we know too little about the Gorn for me to call it too far.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Arena didn't establish enough about the Gorn one way or the other to make even the slightest bit of difference about what gets established about them later. The specifics of the Trill species have been altered far, far more from their first appearance than the Gorn have.

 

[Nerys Myk]

You'd think they'd would have wanted to get more milage out of that suit.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

They got mileage from so many other props and costumes... even sets in terms of reuse. A shame we never saw the Gorn again in TOS.

The trill stayed basically humanoid.

I'm all for less humanoid designs
Though the SNW adult Gorns are bipeds and as roughly "humanoid" as the TOS version.

 

[Turtletrekker]

The trill stayed basically humanoid.

And the Gorn are still reptilian.

Indeed, yes.

What little was established of the Gorn in Arena could be measured in a paragraph. Trek has altered species in greater ways with less issues than what SNW has.

And they still got it wrong.

The gorn in Arena was (oddly enough) the size and shape of a human.
New gorn are more like rats or maybe cats.

And they still haven't been changed as much as say, the Klingons. Wake me up when they change the look of the humans.

The SNW Gorn is the size of a "Very Tall / Large" human.

"Human" enough in size and shape for my tastes

How do you get it wrong when you have almost nothing to go off of?
