I’ll say it, the adult gorn, in those space suits look awesome, I’m a sucker for more animalistic races in star trek
The adult gorn was easily my favourite part of the episode!
There’s clearly a horror strain in the Gorn arc, with pretty strong echos/homages of Alien … and I am all here for it. With the scene of Batel warding off the young Gorn, I knew straight away she’d been impregnated because of the clear Alien reference.
I really liked the subtle hints. They arent just savage creatures. They have advanced technology. Communicate in ways humans cant understand at all. Use tech in ways most humans cant handle as well. Etc etc.
Trek would do good to have more species that arent humanoid. It makes for a much more interesting show.
And now is the time to do it, where VFX and CGI are surely up to the task now.
Agree. One of my favorite species was the Xindi in enterprise. But even they fell victim to the trope of the universal translator. A species like the Gorn where normal linguistics just won’t work would be a nice touch (Ala the movie arrival or something)
Shaka, when the walls fell!
We should try throwing styrofoam rocks at them
We’re a long way from the silly rubber suit. They’re terrifying and the way they reproduce and use that tale screams xenomorph.
Bring back the Xindi insectoids!!!
They showed up in Prodigy as I recall
I’m impressed by Gorn engineering now. Making a space suit with what looked like dozens of vacuum- grade articulated tail joints can’t be easy.
me too. we need more of the Gorn in other trek adaptions
