While I agree that Trek is all about finding common ground, I just hope they don’t humanize the Gorn too much. While I’m no Trekologist I don’t think the Gorn become “friendly” until much later in the time line (like late TNG era). Someone nerdier than me please correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m a little alone on this from what I can see from various forums, but I like the hideous and alien format of this iteration of the Gorn. I hope they continue to at least Cold War this relationship for another season or five.
They more or less vanish after SNW. They have their introductory appearance in The Original Series, a few gags/cameos in Lower Decks, and the skeleton in Discovery, but that's about it.
Thanks. I honestly couldn’t recall them in any official canon. But I am playing STO at the moment and they’re in that as allies of the Klingons so I assumed there was more to their story that I just wasn’t remembering.
