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.
