Yeah I’m not super familiar with the podcasting world, but I think they have technology that stitches current ads into the back catalogue.

Yeah, he cobbled together a fake Gorn transponder, and built a trap out of force fields and fake biosigns.

But he probably gave accurate time estimates like a rank amateur.

Don’t they have a table or something this year?

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.

All Gorn are beautiful!

Riker claimed in “Lonely Among Us” that humans ”no longer enslave animals for food purposes.”

There are so many other purposes.

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?

I didn’t say that.

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.

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.

30 seconds later

What do you mean, you’ve seen this? It’s brand new…

The SNW Gorn literally pulled the classic sitcom “stay on your side of the line” routine - basically the same motivation as “Arena”.

I know just the anomaly.

I prefer the goofy-badass-Gorn over the scary-quick-incubatin’-Gorn.

They’re iconic for a reason.

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.
