#strange new worlds gorn

[spatulahat]

Strange New Worlds should have kept the same Gorn design from the 60's, including for their young. Imagine these guys chestbursting out of crew members, fully clothed and ready to slow wrestle.

I need everyone to know that the adult Gorn in the season 2 finale was not CGI, but a practical effect. A guy in a suit, just like the classic version.

A huge thanks to suit performer Warren and the artists at Legacy Effects for bringing this creature to life.

Also look how huge that suit is next to @wilwheaton! makes you recall the original xenomorph suit from Alien.

THE NEXT GENERATION - The Best of Both Worlds, Part I STRANGE NEW WORLDS - Hegemony

okay funny concept what if in SNW the gorn we see are just a freaky mutant offshoot of the gorn we meet in TOS.

like imagine, they keep running into these horrifying aliens that chest burst out of people, and then they run into the gorn again, big build up, everyone is gearing up to fight

aaaaaaaaaaand

it’s their tamer cousins that look like an alligator gained sentience and decided to wear cheetah print cave man style.

like “oh yeah, those guys. sorry they’ve been causing you so much trouble I promise they’re not invited to the family reunion. we have no affiliation with them.”

like look at them

you can’t tell me snw gorn ISN’T tos gorn’s edgelord cousin

Honestly tired of the criticism SNW gets from specifically Tumblr (cause when I check reddit, they love it lots). Like, there are some nitpicky ass people here.

Imo, the Gorn are awesome (you saw them once in TOS, get over it!), Spock/Chapel make sense and were always plausible (Also Spock had his fair share of female love interests in TOS that he knew less than Christine), regarding the silly episodes where Spock gets turned "human" or the new one where the crew turns "vulcan" (In quotes because a. I don't think the intention is for them to be accurate representation of either race b. we all just gonna ignore all the silly ass episodes in TOS like they're not part of the series' bread and butter), the musical episode was literally the best musical episode in the entirety of the genre of rando show doing a musical episode.

Spock this Spock that, there's so many complaints about Spock as if the Menagerie didn't have ooc Spock. The complaints about not having enough screen time for this character or that, like, again, let's be real, this show is for people who specifically loved TOS, of course you're going to have lots of Spock, Chapel, Uhura and yes, Jim also (because he's beyond crucial to Star Trek's legacy), and yes, maybe there should be more Ortega and idk whoever that other pilot is, but you still have focus on Pike, Una, and La'an, which is pretty damn good for a show that only has 10 episodes a season.

Lovely to see that the show has a 98% from Rotten Tomatoes, and a 93% from Google Users, which imo, despite the wackos I've seen on this site, is what really matters and means the show is going to keep trucking along despite a minority of negativity.

My long winded way to say, I can't wait for season 3! ❤️

I have to say, it's a bit hypocritical how some parts of the fandom hate Michael for being Spock's sister and the change in the Klingon but embrace or tolerate La'an for Khan and the Gorn.

yes, terrifying

Genuinely going insane over Manu noonien singh. He's a highschooler. He's dead. He haunts the narrative. He died for his little sister and now she's going to live multiple times his life span. He died for his little sister and now she's killing the monsters that killed him.

Imagine you're like 7(?) And your parents have another kid and you grow up and she steals your stuff and annoys you and then suddenly the fucking boogeyman are real and you're life is falling apart and you're in a horror film but you also have one(1) little girl who needs you because you're all she knows and all she has left.

And you die for her. And she lives.

He literally haunts her. She sees his ghost and he smiles at her. Does he know how much she appreciates him now. Can he feel how desperate she is? Did he ever consider that even though la'an was small and scared she would have done the same for him? Did he consider she'll spend the rest of her life wishing she could trade places with him?????

Imagine you’re so small and cold and scared but there’s smaller ones that are smaller and colder and more scared. + THE GORN ARE GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU. AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND LOVE

[stra-tek]

Which Gorn are you today?

[darillium-night]

I love how every episode is like

“We’re doing routine surveillance on a peaceful colony”

“Oh no it’s the fucking gorn again”

“Looks like we’re really all gonna die this time”

“We’re not gonna die because we have La’an, lone survivor of all things horrible”
