I've been binge watching since yesterday. It's great finding a series that's already been around for a few seasons. I love how it's more like TNG where every episode stands on its own. I've gotten so sick of season long plots where every episode ends with a cliffhanger to keep you watching. It's overdone, annoying, and is probably why I didn't like Picard. Anyway looking forward to watching many new-to-me episodes. 😍

Just had a thought wtaching SNW and wanted to share it. Wouldn't the Holodeck and replicator technology once again provide the opportunity to solve all problems with the Gorn. I'm aware it isn't fully available in the 23rd century, but: With the right replicator technology an ideal host for hatching Gorn eggs could easily be simulated.

Then Holodeck technology could be used to create the perfect breeding ground for the young Gorn without creating any friction with other intelligent species and maybe even tweak the conditions to be ideal for the young Gorn.

The main issue with them is, that the Gorn have to prey on others in order to successfully reproduce. With that technological solution, the biological imperatives involved would no longer necessitate aggression. Offering the Gorn the relevant technologies may be a way for the federation to solve their conflict with them and respect their culture and biology. Maybe that could be a reason why they are no longer an issue in the 24th century? Once the breeding is solved, adult Gorn appear to be fully rational individuals.

Season 3 Episode 4: Spock makes the call to go back to the Enterprise upon discovering the skeleton remains inside the site/prison. Nurse Chapel convinced Spock to continue the mission so her archeology boyfriend could carry on with his excavation. Ensign Gamble then gets his eyes torn out and becomes possessed by an evil entity who goes on to kill two or tree security personnel and subsequently dies when shot, to prevent the entity from freeing the rest of its kind..

Nurse Chapel receives no consequences or even addresses her fuck up. Am I wrong in thinking that this should have been somewhat mentioned afterwards as a reflection to Spock? Or Captain Pike in the debrief?

Thank you for your thoughts.
