Re: SNW S2: Hegemony

I agree with Bok R'Mor Thu, Aug 17, 2023, 12:39pm (UTC -5)

Totally bored of the references/rip-offs of the Aliens franchise.

A fascinating idea is embedded in this episode - that galactic (or at least solar) activity influences Gorn on what may be an instinctual level (though could be some sort of ritual responses for all we know).

Developing this idea would be very interesting.

The Gorn babies look very silly.

The Gorn adult looked fantastic - great design.

The no-gravity slow fight with the adult was surely a sly nod to the very slow fight TOS Kirk had with an adult Gorn.

If you ignore plot-holes and the usual silliness, this was fun enough.

I liked Scotty as well, though it would have been better to give Pelia a chance to show us her brilliance (since she seems to have tough every Star-Fleet engineer).

(And I do find the regularly appearance of Kirk rather tiresome.)
