Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

I don’t know about “quickly” - at the rate they’re going, the show won’t end until 2028…

I think it’s high time they showed us literally anything from “Academy.” Footage would be great, photos would be acceptable.

The low end of the merchandise continuum seems to be their biggest weakness. This higher-detail, higher-end stuff is plentiful, but the prices are unreal.

Yeah let’s face it if you’re going to own a model Gorn, this is the one you want.

Riker claimed in “Lonely Among Us” that humans ”no longer enslave animals for food purposes.”
There are so many other purposes.
- Comment on Canadian Trekkies: SNW Season 3 will be airing on CTV Sci-Fi Channel 1 week ago:
I’m not 100% certain, but the new season might show up on Crave, as well.
Which is also something you have to pay for, of course, but at least there are options?

- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 1 week ago:
I didn’t say that.
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 1 week ago:
Star Trek VI is generally considered one of the “good ones”.
Of course, the secret is, they’re all the good ones.
Yes, even that one.
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 1 week ago:
I would probably go with “whatever was the most recent release,” so West is canonical, but his identity as the would-be assassin is not?
Which I prefer, to be honest - having the Klingon be a Klingon helps to reinforce this as a cross-faction conspiracy.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 3 weeks ago:
The SNW Gorn literally pulled the classic sitcom “stay on your side of the line” routine - basically the same motivation as “Arena”.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 3 weeks ago:
I prefer the goofy-badass-Gorn over the scary-quick-incubatin’-Gorn.
They’re iconic for a reason.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 3 weeks ago:
The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species
Fair enough - I’ll backtrack slightly and say that if there’s a retcon, that’s where it is, rather than in the Gorn’s behaviour.
But there is a bit of wiggle room in “Arena”, I think. Kirk certainly seems unfamiliar with the Gorn, but they never really say it’s the first contact, and Spock doesn’t really say anything one way or the other (a very Spock-like thing to do in any situation).
They definitely have massaged that canon, but I don’t think they’ve really contradicted it.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 3 weeks ago:
It’s really none of our business…but are they?
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 3 weeks ago:
“What I loved about the Gorn was it was an opportunity to retcon something into a real monster. What we do in Star Trek—and you’ll see we’ll even do it with the Gorn—is we start by seeing the other and often we end by engaging our empathy and understanding common ground. And that’s great, and it doesn’t mean that there isn’t real evil in the world. And so what we wanted to do with the Gorn was to give you a monster, and a monster that at least at first, seemed irredeemable.”
I find this statement a little aggravating, because in my opinion they really haven’t retconned the Gorn. In “Arena”, they slaughtered the entire Cestus colony, and the Gorn captain is utterly merciless.
“Arena” is about mercy, but the Gorn didn’t really earn it in the episode, which was really kind of the point.
