While #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds version of the Gorn have been compared to the Xenomorphs from Alien, it occurs to me that there is another, more likely inspiration for SNW’s update to the classic guy in a rubber suit aliens. The Magog from Andromeda are very similar to the Gorn in the sense that they are intelligent aliens who are seen as deadly monsters. The Magog also infect their victims with their eggs in much the same way that the Gorn do. Interestingly enough, Andromeda was loosely based on a Gene Roddenberry script and developed by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, a Star Trek veteran who had written for both TNG and DS9.

#StarTrek #DS9
I generally enjoyed #StarTrekDiscovery’s first season but I never liked the way it used holograms for its communication system. I’m glad they eventually ditched them until the 32nd century time jump where the far future setting made the holograms feel a little more natural.
Where did you learn to do that?
Spent six months in a Denobulan prison. Cell mate was a Vulcan. I can also make Plomeek soup in the toilet.
