Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

[Drunk Monk]

An Erica Ortegas ep. She’s the new helmswoman and not a fav character because she’s disconnected to TOS while everyone else has some tie. She was traumatized by a Gorn attack and in this ep, get marooned on a desolate moon with a Gorn. It’s Enemy Mine or Hell in the Pacific, but also the precursor to ST:TOS Arena (Spoiler Alert Metrons End Spoiler).

SWN retconned the Gorn from TOS and they have a lot of explaining to do. Like how the Klingons evolved in TNG, the Gorn are now CGI monsters that breed like parasitically like Xenomorphs. The issue is that TOS made first contact with the Gorn in Arena, but in SNW, the Gorn are a threat to the federation like the Klingons of old. Everyone on the SNW Enterprise knows Gorns so why does the TOS Enterprise know. I hope this gets resolved somehow, or that they just confess and make it another timeline like the Kelvin one.
