The Official Story

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (2022)
[PARAMOUNT+]

(Reptilian Disclosure: The Gorn)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is an American television series created by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet for the streaming service Paramount+. It is the 11th Star Trek series and debuted in 2022 as part of Kurtzman’s expanded Star Trek Universe. A spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery, it follows Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the starship USS Enterprise as they explore new worlds throughout the galaxy during the decade before Star Trek: The Original Series.

Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn respectively star as Pike, Spock, and Number One, all characters from The Original Series. These actors were cast in the roles in 2019 for the second season of Discovery, and, after a positive fan response, Kurtzman expressed interest in bringing them back for a spin-off series. Development began by March 2020 and it was officially ordered in May. The lead cast, title, and creative team were confirmed, with Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers as showrunners. Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun, and Bruce Horak also star. Some of those actors also play younger versions of Original Series characters. The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout, Weed Road Pictures, H M R X Productions, and Roddenberry Entertainment. Filming took place at CBS Stages Canada in Mississauga, Ontario. The showrunners chose to return to the episodic storytelling of The Original Series rather than Discovery‘s more serialized approach.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered on Paramount+ on May 5, 2022, and its 10-episode first season ran through July 7. A second season is in production and is expected to premiere in 2023. The series has received positive reviews for its episodic storytelling and cast. It was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and several other awards.

THE GORN
(Reptilian Alien Species, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds)

The Gorn were a warp-capable, bipedal reptilian species. They were organized in the Gorn Hegemony.

Biology

Gorn were a cold-blooded species, with green, rubbery skin, red blood, and an average height of approximately two meters. They tended to be many times stronger than most humanoids, albeit slower and less agile but with greater stamina and, like most cold-blooded species, preferred warmer temperatures. The Gorn had at least two genders: male and female. Despite being reptilian, Gorn females had what appeared to be mammary glands, which were generally found on mammals. (TOS: “Arena”; ENT: “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II”; LD: “Veritas”, et al.) Gorn could survive exposure to the vacuum of space. (ENT: “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II”)

Some Humans had an instinctive revulsion to the Gorn, as they were a type of reptile, and thought them primitive or unintelligent. This was unwise, as the Gorn were at least as intelligent as Humans.

Gorn ears were simple holes on the sides of their skulls, while their mouths boasted an impressive array of sharp teeth and their hands and feet possessed vicious claws. In the mirror universe, Phlox quipped that the Gorn were comparable to that of the extinct Velociraptor, based on one Gorn’s size and bite radius. (ENT: “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II”) Some Gorn displayed eyes that were silvery and faceted, much like the compound eyes of insects, while others had typical humanoid eyes complete with pupils.

They also possessed incredible durability and were able to take an extreme amount of punishment. During a skirmish between Captain James T. Kirk and a Gorn captain, Kirk hurled a boulder at his opponent, only for it to bounce off the Gorn’s skin. Later, he caused a giant boulder to roll down a mountain and hit the Gorn captain. Though this temporarily stunned him, he was not injured. Kirk finally managed to wound and disable the Gorn with a primitive cannon comprised of rope-wrapped bamboo as a barrel, with raw diamonds as projectiles and a homemade gunpowder mixture as propellant. (TOS: “Arena”)
