GORN: Cultural Index
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2018
- The Index likes to take a different approach to a species lore where possible, not just looking at the facts as they appear but trying to create an unified image of the species.
This is incredibly relevant to the Gorn, this lizard-like species appeared in the Star Trek TOS episode Arena, a primary theme of which was not to take things at face value, but always dig deeper.
...Which is just as well as there's only 1 prime timeline event on which to base all this speculation.
This is the Cultural Index a series aimed at exploring various Science-Fiction species.
For outsiders to a series to get to know the basics and maybe even hardened Sci-fi nuts might discover something new.
Thanks for watching!

I love the Gorn because their one of the few “aliens” that actually seem like aliens. Most “aliens” on the show look like humans with some facial changes.
Let's be honest, the Gorn exist so that Kirk could show off his devastating "Double Slap" melee tactic.
I wish Star Trek would do more stuff with the Gorn and stop with the "look exactly like humans but are aliens because of budget b.s." The Gorn and Tholians would be cool and scary antagonists.
The amount of "extended universe" content that was available to draw upon in the making of this video suggests that I'm not alone in thinking that space lizards have an instinctive, primordial appeal. They're just cool.
You will need to update this....
Why do you keep on using non cannon content? The source being memory beta it’s annoying because it’s not cannon!!
Do you ever wonder if aliens call Earth "Humanar"?
Came here after episode 4 of strange new worlds.
"OH NO, GORN WEDDING!!!"
I will never forgive TNG for not including the Gorn in at least 1 episode! Reptile discrimination. Never even got to see 1 Gorn Battle Cruiser. They look like dinosaur warriors. My favorite aliens of all time.
"These mammals give me the creeps!"
I never really did like the way Gorn were portrayed in video games. I understand that the big, slow, plodding creature that they are in Star Trek: Online is largely consistent with their showing in The Arena, but that episode also makes
I don't mind the amount of Memory Beta content, mostly because you clearly label what is canon and what is from official, but noncanon sources. That's far more than most of the other larger channels will do and part of what makes this series, and channel overall, one of the best speculative fiction channels.
It'll be very interesting to see the updated version of the Gorn once this season of Strange New Worlds is finished. They definitely took the Gorn in a whole different direction than earlier Beta canon, and made the scariest race in Trek since the Borg.
The Gorn would make an interesting culture to have the Federation Associate with, and they'd be real easy to do a horror story around
My KDF character in STO is a Gorn and I chose the blueish grey scale colour, mainly because I thought it looked better, nice to see my character "Slythor Slyne", is highly regarded among his species for his colouring's ;op
Sprayed my drink out of my nose at "*Pictured: Diplomatic Relations".
Outstanding Love the Gorn Species! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just looking at the map, the idea that the Klingons would invade them post dominion seems plausible on the surface, since they share a border, but unlikely once you analyze the situation.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds has some new mention of Gorn. They seem to have been barbaric slavers too.
