Got the idea from @carlo@lemmy.ca the other day, and just finally got around to making it.

Thanks brotato chip.

I'd like to mention again how impressive it is that Strange New Worlds managed to transform the Gorn from a joke to a menacing and interesting villain.

I'm interested in seeing it whenever I start SNW. I've been watching TOS again recently, and I just saw the Gorn episode again a couple of nights ago.

It’s a whooooooole different ballgame than TOS Gorn. WAY more of a compelling and scary enemy faction, in pretty much every way. And then there’s some additional fun stuff you find out about the Gorn later in the season, too.

I swear I'll get there eventually. I just picked up paramount+ and started watching TOS again, which will then probably be followed by another TNG rewatch...

... they were supposed to be a misunderstood "villain" just trying to continue existing.

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

True. But in the continuity of SNW they are currently (miss-) understood as such.

Seriously - the first episode they show up in is genuinely some of the best “submarines but in space” combat I think I’ve ever seen. The tension is unbelievable. Arguably better than TWoK (for that style of space combat at least). I’d put S1E4 in the running for best S1 episode, honestly.

I can't help but imagine gorn porn is much like the gorn fight; slow, clearly fake, and so stupid it's funny.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With lots of double-handed smacks on the back.

They're obviously faking it

@carlo@lemmy.ca had this idea for "gorn hub" in another thread. Just took me a couple of weeks to get around to making it.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

is that a stack of his favourite saved gorn on memory sticks?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, the Gorn likes to save hard copies in case the subspace network ever goes down.

I guess we all share habits with other species
