  Yeah, but in “Arena” there was nothing about using humans as incubators / hosts. That’s the part they added in, to make them more “monster-like”. Without that, their motivation is not much different than our own. With that, they are much more terrifying and alien.

  To be fair, the old Gorn rationale for attacking the colony was, “You’re in our territory, and we assumed you had hostile intent”…while the SNW rationale is, “We lay eggs in your body, so our young have something to eat when they hatch”.

  That’s a significant difference in character motivation.

  “The Arena” is originally the first meeting between the Federation and the Gorn, with Kirk and the Gorn captain fighting one-on-one.

  But, in SNW, the Gorn have already been encountered, although little is known about them yet, due to the fact that they leave no survivors and seem to make no effort to communicate.

  The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species, as well as adding in a lot of new details that were never part of the original concept.

  Is this just to lower the property value? I thought Trump understood things about real estate.

  A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it’s just pointed at one wall. It’s not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.

  Don’t forget that it’d be nighttime after a certain distance, because light can only travel a certain distance before it disappears.

  Man, this slow-motion train wreck just keeps going. Why?

  This is what the internet is for.

  As usual, this doesn’t actually make any sense. I genuinely wonder if Trump understands anything people around him are even talking about…or if all of his interactions with others, are just a series of Charlie Brown adults "mwa-mwa"ing at him while he struggles to pay attention.

  “Outside” works. So does “the sky”. “It” can also represent “today”, or “right now”.
