  To be fair, it was used the way in the TNG Episode Relics, when Scotty spent 75 years stuck in the Jenolan’s transport buffer, so quiite a long precedent.

  It totally was. It’s no coincidence that it was Scotty who caught the entity and Scotty who is taken over by it years later in Wolf in the Fold.

  My only complaint is that Ensign Gamble got this great episode, while Jenna Mitchell has yet to see an iota of character development and more than a few minutes of screen time away from the helm. Of course Gamble had to die for the privilege, so I guess that’s fair. Still, I think the writers owe Rong Fum some love.

  That’s fair, because AI is biased against them.

  We already have “clankers” thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?

  In this case there are no competing domestic products though, or few enough as makes little difference. This is just taxation with extra steps.

  “There was a button. I pushed it.” Where’s Holden when you need him?

  My head-canon is that there is no retconm, or at least no need for one.

  We’ve seen in ST SNW that where the Gorn are concerned, the younger they are, the faster and dumber they are.

  Pike and his crew have only directly encountered hatchlings, adolescents and a very few Gorn of age to serve on starships, perhaps the Gorn equivalent of redshirts.

  The logical extension of that idea is that as Gorn mature, they become slower, burlier and more intelligent. The Gorn Kirk encountered in Arena may have a very mature individual, thus his slow, lumbering pace and extreme cunning. Probably overdue for a promotion to admiral.
