Gorn

Assuming that the Borg have ever assimilated any Gorn, do we call them the Gorg? Semi-lol.

Hello guys, I just saw Strange New Worlds Season 2. And it is an absolute masterpiece. It's way better than Season 1 in every way and excels in all categories. It even explores genres such as Musicals and Legal Dramas. It is extremely meaningful and has mature themes. Also the cast is way better than the previous season. Plus the Cliffhanger ending is very good and judging on it Season 3 will definitely start with the Gorn which will be awesome. Plus the Gorn Space Suit is very good and will probably become an iconic Sci-Fi image.

It had a few flaws such as some overly far fetched sci-fi elements such as microscopic intelligent aliens and the subspace musical episode but still better than the first season. Also Subspace Rhapsody was a good episode, way better than The Elysian Kingdom. Some of the cast have excellent singing voices and the way the music and singing is used is pretty good. If this continues than the 2020s will be a great year for Star Trek.

On a Class L planet in the Beta Lyrae system, Uhura comments, " I never did like these little ice-bound worlds."

According to Memory Alpha, this episode takes place in late 2269.

About 10 years earlier, in 2259, Uhura was on Valeo Beta V another one of those little ice-bound worlds where... spoiler: Hemmer is infected with Gorn eggs then jumps to his death.

It seems as if the TOS episode "Arena" has been totally retconned given how the Gorn are not only known in 2259 but have destroyed several Federation colonies and have even sent the Federation detailed border lines. They fully obliterated a Federation Starship and have been intimately encountered by every single TOS main cast member aside from McCoy, Sulu, and Kirk. Captain Kirk now definitely knows about them 8 years before "Arena".

Uhura and Chapel didn't know T'Pring in "Amok Time" but have clearly met and interacted with her in Strange New Worlds.

Chapel's declaration of love for Spock in "The Naked Time" now seems redundant as they've apparently dated and copulated in the past... Something Spock couldn't do with Kalomi until he got blasted by Spores in "This Side of Paradise"

Is TOS just not canon anymore? How long until Paramount admits that SNW isn't a prequel to TOS but rather a replacement.

I really love SNW. I've been watching it illegally because of solidarity but i can say without a doubt that I absolutely love it.

I do not like Dis and its arcs very much, even as a DS9 fan (Michael was fine but i did not like the mycelium stuff and the mirror universe annoys me), but SNW is good.

I think Anson Mount is great as Pike, real charismatic and funny and he does the cooking thing like Sisko that i loved. The crew is great, charismatic. The uniforms seem natural and well designed. And given that every series needs a boogeyman, in my opinion the gorn are a very good and scary choice for pre-TOS Starfleet.

The only criticism i really have is that the Enterprise has too many screens and digital readouts to seem like the same ship as Kirk's but that is relatively petty.

But nevertheless I have seen plenty of criticism for SNW in a few places online and I was wondering what things people have against it. Of course it has flaws but it seems, to me, campy and fun in the same way as TOS. Please tell me what if anything you do not like and excuse me if the spelling or English is bad.

Before you guys get confused, let me explain;

Star Trek takes place in the real world, and in the real world, Star Wars is fiction, so could Star Wars exist in Star Trek as a fictional franchise?
