The gorn were kinda cute when they held Rutherford there. Looked like they were going real easy on him since the average gorn is a walking tank next to a human.
So here’s what I’m getting. Rutherford and company needed to hijack a shuttle en route to a Romulan planet, once on said Romulan planet they needed to steal a Bird of Prey, said Bird of Prey broke down in space and they had to do a space walk to repair it, after Rutherford collapsed on the Bird of Prey console it crashed on the Gorn planet. The million dollar question to all this is...WHY?!
They stole the BoP from a Vulcan planet, actually...hence the robes and the security guard wearing an old TWOK-era Starfleet Security armour... ...unless it's less of a museum they are in and more of "Enemies of the Star Empire" theme park, with a Romulan dressed up like TWOK-era Starfleet Security Officer. ...though it was stated that the shuttle was hijacked from a pair of Vulcans...so I am definitely favouring the Vulcan Colony side instead.
What if the Cerritos had a "Trials and Tribble-ations" episode? Aka. The Cerritos time travel to an episode of a previous Star Trek show. You know what I think could be perfect? They time travel to Star Trek TAS, replicating the original Filmation "animation" of the 70's.
Bones - "What did you call us young man?" Branson - "TOS era trekking. 'Those old scientists', well now YOS, You out-there Scientists." Bones - "...what have they put in the water in starship to make you..."
Instead of having a "Trials and Tribble-ations", lets then return to the actual episode of "Trials and Tribble-ations" with the crew of TOS and DS9 at the same time in TAS style.
Lol “Mark Twain has a gun!” I forgot how much I loved that episode. That is a very obscure trek reference. Although it was a season finale and premier so maybe not that obscure.
@@rommdan2716 he warns tasha that a garbage bag is behind her. I think it's poking fun of the effects for the Armus, which are pretty universally considered to be terrible.
The people working on this show clearly care about Trek. Not only did JJ Abrams openly admit he doesn't care, but so have Orci & Kurtzman. Why were those 3 ever hired to head the franchise? It would be nice if their crap was retconned out. Well, Lower Decks does take place before the Abrams canon split so there's hope...
I consider everything after 'Nemesis', and everything before TOS, as non-canon. I also tend to ignore 'Nemesis' and 'Insurrection' anyway as I just don't care for how those turned out.
That's not true. Orci is a major Trekkie to the point that he quotes lines from episodes. Kurtzman admitted he wasnt a deep Trekkie but loved TNG when it aired. Jj was the one always admitting he wasnt a Trek fan before making the films. You dont have to like their vision but let's not lie about them...
When I saw the trailer for this show I was not impressed and even wasn't gonna watch it at all. Then someone told me that the trailer was a poor showing and convinced me to check it out. So glad that they did!
...anyone else notice what the "altar" is behind the Gorn priest in the wedding shot? Looks a looooot like the entrance to the super computer, Vaal, in the TOS episode "The Apple".
I like how everyone was somehow part of the same Black Operation but the way it's told you're supposed to forget that it's all connected. Or I just couldn't follow the plot because I have only seen this show through clips...
There was the movie Limitless and I know Futurama also did something like this. I still think there's one more that's really the one you're thinking of but I can't think of it.
season 4 has lurking Romulans, who are disappointed when the Cerritos, hijacked by 3 Betazoids, was about to enter the N.zone and turned back a the last moment. The lines spoken by the captain are on par with this, proving there really isn't much different in Vulcans and Romulans.
strange new world gorn are very awesome, i mean they managed to make the least threatening lizard rubber suit monster ever into a terrifing force to deal with.
@@lillith3159 But that's the problem. The whole point of the episode of the Original Series is that the Gorn aren't monsters like Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise first assumed. Now they're rippoffs of xenomorphs.
@@GeneralKenobi75 yeah, but they didn't understand the Gorn, thats the problem. Once things broke down between them and the Gorn, the Gorn became a ally to the Federation. The issue was the two species couldn't communicate, and the gorn have a nasty life cycle that requires another species to repopulate, this caused them to have a almost Borg-like reputation where everyone was afraid when one of their ships turned up. At the point in time of SNW, the Gorn are monsters, there is not much known about them in terms of their species great and SNW shows the first steps towards understanding them. Eventually they will form treaties by TNG era, and they will be at "peace" with other races. Its like when Picard met the captain from the Tamarians, and there was no form of proper communication, the translator could translate their words... But not their metaphors. So he mistook the Captains actions and attempts to communicate for a trial by combat situation. The reality is he wanted Picard to join him in hunting a wild creature to try and break down the walls. Then you have the Pakleds, whose main form of communication with each other is limited vocal expressions with a lot of slight facial ones, they can have entire complex discussions this way, but... Translate that into other species languages... You have "We Pakleds, we defeated Janeway and the Enterprise" because they misunderstood "Enterprise" to mean "Starfleet ship" and "Janeway" to mean "Starfleet female captain". They have no grasp of verbally complex languages. So when Klingons explain how bombs work to them...They fail also to understand they can't be reused because they don't understand "one use weapon", they understand it as "we can use this weapon". You can see how they fail at logic for that reason. In that respects, a Pakled lack of the grasp of logical verbal language means their in the same boat as the Tamarans. I remember someone said in regard to Picard's story that for many species in the galaxy, the inability to communicate good or bad intentions, must be one of the most frustrating things of all. It led the Gorn to be horrible misunderstood, and the Tamarians to be left unable just to speak to anyone and the Pakleds to be void of simple logic. While most of the species they come across are simple to understand and connect with, the lack of connection is the worst thing for any of them. Its only natural for any species to want to communicate with others and its important to convey both war and peace, trade and diplomacy. Excuse misspellings here, I'm on a limited machine.

1. (1:47) *_"Hey! Stop that! Now you're distracting me!"_** ~* I would have gone with, _"Hey! Stop that! _*_I find that very distracting!"_* instead, for a smoother comedic flow. But that is a minor thing.
2. (2:38) *_"Restarting in 10 seconds..."_** ~* Having timed it from the point that Rutherford gives his frustrated, _"haa-wauu-aah!!"_ (both with the video-counter and with a stopwatch), Rutherford does indeed make it to the shuttle in 10 seconds. Good work on the animators' part for that. *;)*
3. (3:00) *_"Gorn wedding!"_** ~* See the correct move for a situation like that? Take a page from Doctor Who: *_Act like you belong there._*
- a.) Sidle-up up to a take a empty seat (ideally in the back or outer-sides, for a quick exit).
- b.) Perhaps faux-whisper, _"Sorry I'm late."_ While giving a small wave or head-nod of faux-acknowledgement/-recognition in the direction of the Bridge &/or Groom.
- c.) Shush anyone looking at you funny, while pointing towards at the Bride and Groom to indicate that is where the attention should be focused. *;D*
Thanks for uploading this, *Lower Decks.* :)
Gorn wedding was the best!
Just like my computer, updating at exactly the wrong time.
The time stamp when he went to sleep and when he woke up didn't change, definitely a malfunction
That is pretty smart each time you black out you wake up somewhere else so bad things are happening just black out. That's super idea
3:13 female gorn: mmm taste like chicken
Watch this after "Reflections" gives to me the feeling that Shax KNOWS something...
(If in 3x9 there's some reveal pls don't spoil 'cause i haven't see It yet)
In a weird way this is almost how life feels having severely deficient autobiographical memory. My life is a lot of jumps and gaps.
and just like that, gorn weddings became part of the official star trek canon
I cannot help but think these bionics are an abused technology.
he tried to tell them about it. there's a reason he updates while sleeping
2001's Monolith at 1:33 in the center
So nice they added an old trek ship the bird of prey to make easter egg along with that one transport ship they were in
and NO kurtzman visual reboots.
The Gorn hit differently now. No longer as comedic and more horrifying.
What on earth is the final song? Cannot find it anywhere
Of course Rutherford is doing it wrong, he'd have to get naked to do the real fan-dance. ...Preferably under the moonlight.
So, how did Rutherford escape the Gorn wedding?
Better question, why did hi disrupt the wedding when the fiery wreck behind him didnt....
“Dance boy dance” was that a reference to Cabin Boy?
He tried to update his windows xD
Let's hope his brain cyberware wasn't built with the usual planned obsolescence in mind. Manufacturers want you to buy a new laptop or phone every couple years so they deliberately design end-of-life into these "disposable" items (and they deliberately force updates to cripple devices which they deem too old).
1:32 That's a Jem'Hadar ship!
That was funny and as one part of the whole great.
Vulcan ship from first contact at 1:37
Spock and Spock. :P
Gorn weddings are a lot like Chinese standoffs i see. :P
Haha Gorn wedding
Moon Knight looks amazing
But imagine Moon Knight vs Worf?
The fan dance from STV....
this was a weird episode funny but weird.
Another Gorn wedding!
It's the same wedding, Rutherford.
The Hangover movies got nothing on this
Wow that seems like actual hell
That's a lot of references.
Yay Gorn! Put more Gorn in
