The Gorn

Post by Monroe »

Online there is a big split if Kirk was the first to discover the Gorn or if he just had a passing knowledge of them.

What are your guys' thoughts? They apparently are being built up to be SNW reoccurring baddies with next week focusing on them.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

I don't know how to feel. I always thought Kirk was the first to encounter the Gorn. I'd hate my continuity to be messed up without explanation.

That question has been answered in this weeks episode...however no visuals!!! Exciting storyline and action, but when you say Gorn, show me a big lizardy dude in a leopard one shoulder loincloth..lol

There is a theory that the Gorn shown is a sub-species or a caste then the one we saw in TOS.

I know they are doing it for a big bad for the series and do not want to use Romulans or the Klingons. Which speaking of which with thd Romulans looks like they will keep the 'big reveal' in Balance of Terror intact.

I am hoping that we will see a grown Gorn that at least resembles the one from TOS. Not liking the ripoff from Alien though.
