@@J.Wolf90 Think: 5’4”, 100lb plus mountain lioness, with a IQ of 200 and a MMA fighter with natural instincts and skill. Add top class NAVY SEAL training to take down a human being in less than 60 secs… Then imagine a opponent 6’4” 250 lbs who turns his back on her thinking she is no threat…lol
@@easyalpha1 I thought of that but after watching the season again I have seen nothing to prove she has enhanced strength,speed or durability she seems to normal and I'm just saying as a average human being that weighs 100lbs maybe a little more and standing at 5"4 inches she is not someone that I would want to be the head of my security,Halston Sage on the Orville was head of security but her race have superhuman strength so having her in that position makes sense Christine Chong doesn't, she's a very small woman.
Awesome episode. A combination of Predator and Aliens represents the Gorn. Certain crew members will be missed (spoiler alert). We don’t need to rush into the James T. Kirk Enterprise. Let’s do 5 to 10 seasons with this present cast.
I think after this show starts to wane and all shows do. That is when Pike will transition to a new position in Starfleet. The one that makes him unable to speak and puts him in that wheel chair. Then ends with Kirk and his crew coming on board. But the shot would only be of the back of thier heads and back as they walk off the turbo lift and onto the bridge.
It was not awesome. LOL It was terrible. How is it they have so much money to produce these episodes but never thought about writers and actors. I could have written a better script and the dialogue is such nonsense. It's Hollywood. It's who you know and how those connections open doors with little regard to actual talent. And get rid of the annoying Uhura and Ortega and Chapel. And M'Benga. Can't we have quality actors in this show? It can't be that hard to find at least a few.
@@carstenaltena It's not meant to be TOS or any of the previous series, it's meant to be its own take, and that's okay. I remember when everyone was waiting for Next Generation to come out, everyone was already complaining how it was going suck because none of the original characters were in it and it just wouldn't feel like ST - and it hadn't even aired yet. And now we're on the 8th iteraton of Trek (not counting any animated ones) - and they've all done their own take with varying levels of fan love. Comparisons don't have to be zero sum. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
@@xyntrk While I agree people were having a shite fest when TNG came out there is a difference between that and what SNW is. TNG was meant to be it's own thing set in the same timeline as TOS. a 100 or so years since TOS but still same timeline. CBS/Viacom played a fast one on the fans by saying that STD and Picard are in the Prime timeline. That though Prime is not the OG Timeline. To the gaslighting of the fans they muddied it to the point that they wanted this to be the OG. Now SNW just from the changes can't be TOS and I can live with that as this is a different timeline. One thing here this Gorn looks like a youngling a darn fast one though. In Enterprise They had a mixture of TOS Gorn with a more fluid motion one on the show. That works since it's staying closer to the aesthetic. Here this is starting to look like Jurassic Park in Space.
this episode was a great episode. How they packed scenes from ALIEN1+ALIEN2+ALEIN3+PREDATOR+T2 was an amazing homage. I hoped for something new but its hard to come up with something new and impress trekkies anymore.
If they tried they could come up with something new. After the original star trek they created, The next generation The Borg The cardassians The Bajorans Q The founders The Jem hadar DS9 Voyager Enterprise The fact they had to go all the way back to kirks Enterprise for stories proves they do not have a lot of creative imagination. So I guess your right. 👍 I can't wait for the next homage. Will it be star wars, Jurassic in park, toy story, the MCU, the fast and the furious franchise. I can't wait for pike to have the Backyard barbecue and talk about......... " family". Also star trek the musical with the dancing Gorn would be incredible , brave, electric, magnetic, and stunningly good 😊 👍
I think killing off Hemmer was a bad idea. He was cool but also we hardly knew him. The Gorn as Alien seems like a cliche. They really can't do any better than that?
@@TheVeritas1 these gorn make Klingons look like rowdy frat boys. Are you kidding me A lot of other people are legitimately asking that guys question about the Gorn
la'an would've been cooler when she throws her phaser out side to lure the gorn out. and does hte fight me roar . gorn comes out. she pulls out a phaser 1 from her pocke and vaporizes gorn kid. problem solved... lol actually why don't all starfleet officers carry a phaser 1 in their pocket or boot? lol
Well that was a good chase scene and NOW we know Gorn have yellow blood I do think IFTHE GORN is frozen solid La'an would not be able to open the pod lid without help IT WOULD BE UNDER SOLID ICE. just saying
God Damm it, ITs TNG s1 all over again... Hemmer T.T... You know its good when you care for a character that only showed up for a few ep and are sad about their departure vs picard or discovery multiple season and i care jackshit :P
I don't know, I just think it could have been. I don't have to have a solution to point out a problem, and trying to figure out how to "fix" shows is not the way I'm supposed to enjoy them
Am I only one who find this "Sing" character annoying? Its something between Tasha Yar and B'elanna Torres. Always angry, with some tragic backstory. Also this is really Gorn? Little small dont you think? Or is this some kind version of baby Gorn? Just asking because a few years back there was Gorn skeleton in Lorca ready-room and this one was not so small as this one...
This was the "creepy" horror episode for the season, which has been quite varied. The Gorn are being given qualities of the Predators and the Xenomorphs. Which franchises became "ripoffs" of themselves a long time ago.
Overall the show seems to have potential. I’m cautiously optimistic. Anson Mount is a great captain. Spock is good and Number One has potential. Love Hemmer. Uhura is pretty good. Chief of security is trying too hard and the writers need to tone down Ortegas. Her sarcasm borders on insubordination and that pulls me out of the immersion. Otherwise I’d say if the emphasis is on good story writing and not lecturing, I’d say they got a potential hit on their hands.
Remember what the Gorn did to the crew of that starship, and what they did to her family on her world?!? Gorn are not children, they are evil killers. period.
First episode I didn't like for this show. And, really? Not very original. Star Trek vs. Alien? And losing Hemmer. Wow. Great new character and he didn't even make it thru the first season.
Wtf, another show completely destroying the Gorn. I know the very first one was terrible for today's standards but at least that Gorn made them look like a race that actually could build starships and evolve technologically. Ever since then they are nothing but raptors or lizard dogs. You can't tell me that thing could coordinate and take prisoners and fly and BUILD ships!!!!!!! Why must they do this
Your making a lot of sense. I don't understand some of these forums with this ridiculous over the top praise for this. It feels artificial. Are you watching this for real? Are you a real person? Some of these episodes were not that good
I don't know many human children who could build starships. Especially with no training from adults. But this incarnation of the Gorn is clearly being groomed to fill a common role in the space sci-fi genre that Star Trek has lacked -- the alien monster race.
This episode was trash. People need to be stop brainlessly defending SNW. When they make bad decisions( Hemmer dead) and deliver horrible episodes. Call them out on it. Get very angry and say something or they will keep giving us this trash.

Hemmer: “Feeling better now that’s it is dead “ 😅
Did anyone think to offer the Gorn a pork chop? 😆
Holy crap.. Is that a Juvi Gorn?
From the vision and the sound I expected a Predator .....
That would have been awesome 👍
The Gorn in this series are clearly being groomed as this universe's Predator/Xenomorph analogue.
Whoa, those Gorn are a far cry from that sleestak looking thing that chased Kirk in Arena.
In fact, I'd say Star Trek Strange New Worlds is a far cry from... Star Trek?
That Gorn was from the Gorn version of backwoods Mississippi. These Gorn are the elite Delta force kind.

After the original star trek they created,
The next generation
The Borg
The cardassians
The Bajorans
Q
The founders
The Jem hadar
DS9
Voyager
Enterprise

homage? more like hacky hack hack rip off
Ripping ideas from 2 other franchises yup that's standard procedure theses days,0 creativity or respect for source material.
it's remind me a classic: "One Ugly Mother......"
I think killing off Hemmer was a bad idea. He was cool but also we hardly knew him. The Gorn as Alien seems like a cliche. They really can't do any better than that?
In Star Trek space no one can hear you scream
Almost every scene is an Alien ripoff. Still fun to watch, but hoping for some fresh ideas in the future.
I don't like horror films. This episode was a horror film. I got through IT but I don't want another one. LOL
Bit Alien/ Predator ish but ok episode
I'm confused. This is something that pilots a starship? I'm smelling the crap from here.
Barbarians piloting starships isn't new to Trek. Hello Klingons.

Are they going to pay James Camron any royalties for ripping off Aliens?
Considering Cameron's Aliens ripped off Scott's Alien, I'll leave it to their lawyers to sort it out. ;-)

Predator ripoff.

They always say it's good though. It's getting creepy.

My face when I remember that these gorn were literal children. They killed a child in cold blood, regardless of circumstance. Remember the Horta?

It's called Abortion... thousands do it..no feeling..and it's NOT Fiction
