- Comment on Is there a way to see on mastodon when new threads are started here? 1 year ago:
I probably didn’t explain properly, I was looking for a mastodon account to follow that posts on mastodon only when a new thread is started on the website here. Looks like @TrekSite@tenforward.social is what I’m looking for, as the @startrek@startrek.website one posts on mastodon every single time a reply is made on the website.

- Comment on In SNW S01E09, what happened to the initial Gorn on the Peregrine? 1 year ago:
I suppose “Gorn just die very quickly in the cold” is the simplest explanation, but still leaves a lot open.
I’d love for Hemmer to return, but feel like the sheer height of the fall makes it quite conclusive that he’d die. Maybe I’ll “warm” to the idea (see what I did there?) if the writers can make it work reasonably. It would be particularly fitting if Hemmer’s unique physiology was the thing that means he can survive, as his preference for the cold is the opposite of the Gorn, and he even says “Just like Andoria!” before he jumps jumps off. Maybe if Batel is able to be saved from her Gorn infection, the new medical knowledge could be used to save Hemmer if he is indeed semi-frozen/hibernating or something. It could make for some interesting further development of the Aenar race also.
The possibility of revisiting the specifics of this episode could be why they’ve left these loose ends that I’m questioning in the OP.

I’m loving the return to the complete-story-per-episode format also. Discovery and Picard were a mess because they needed to force a cliffhanger into almost every episode. If SNW want to do a big one for a season finale though, that’s fine by me, I trust them to do it properly.

I think it is likely they are working up to some sort of “agreement with the Gorn” outcome. Which means we’ll need some huge character progressions (especially in La’an) since the whole crew see them only as monsters. There might have even been some tiny hints in this episode that there are divisions inside Gorn society. Maybe therell be a pro-federation/anti-murder Gorn faction?
