It’s more if a shuffle really.
I don’t like the new Gorn in SNW, bring back the OG.
I prefer the Gorn in Lower Decks.
I like the Gorn on SNW. I don’t like that they want me to think they’re the same race as Kirk’s rubbery green slow-moving friend (who I also like).
I’m just quietly waiting for a plausible explanation for this. I’d settle for something like how the ToS Klingons were explained away in DS9.
My headcanon is that Kirk was fighting an elderly Gorn with a disease like Parkinson’s. Despite that he’s still a Gorn with freakish strength.
Simple yet effective.
Was it explained? There was a comment that Klingons don’t like to talk about it but no explanation I remember.
My personal head canon was something went wrong during the DISCO timeline and somehow the process that gave us Tyler ends up infecting the rest of the Klingons who spend the next 50 or so years as swarthy humans before eventually being restored by scientists to the TNG/TOS films ridges we all know and love.

Yes, and the explanation that Klingons don’t discuss it with outsiders was perfectly fine. The only better thing DS9 could have done would have been to dress Michael Dorn up as a TOS Klingon as soon as the time travel was finished, then get him back into his make up after they traveled back into home time and nobody acknowledging the change in any way.
In ENT they made an episode about Klingons trying to create their own Augments in a failed experiment that lead to Klingons losing their forehead ridges. It was okay, but not good enough to be necessary. It was not to klingon foreheads what Rogue One was to the first Death Star’s exhaust shaft.
Wow, EGS. It’s been ages since I last read it.
Okay, but that is not true for wtf is going on with women being able to summon hammers?
you… can’t summon hammers?
Not in DS9 but in other Trek shows they said it was because of a virus
You’re correct: it’s not actually explained but rather dismissed in a pretty funny way. But it does show the line in the sand that the writers (at the time) were not going to cross.
My head-canon here is that Klingons just have silly-flexible DNA and go through cosmetic gene alterations like some cultures change clothes. They meet humans and go “yeah they’re awful but… having hair could be kinda sexy…” Given their tendency to be bold, fearless, and intensely passionate, I think that tracks.
My brain swore this was a screenshot from fallout
Kirk used VATs, the cheater.
Who would win in a fight Gorn vs Deathclaw?
They won’t fight, cause it will be love at first sight.
Someone should mod this.
