‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn
  • 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.

  • What's the deal with English muffins and why do the English like them so much?
  • This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough.

  • If Order 66 never happened, do you think Ahsoka would have started a family?
  • My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order's rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn't do so suggests that she had no such desire.

    Master Leem wasn't the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.

  • If Order 66 never happened, do you think Ahsoka would have started a family?
  • Ashoka was no longer a Jedi by the time order 66 was issued.

    Also, while the Jedi weren't allowed to marry and were discouraged from forming strong attachments, this didn't always stop them. One Jedi master married and had several children with the council's knowledge, and was even allowed to remain a Jedi master, Thracia Cho Leem.

  • Definitely bottom right
  • Of the 16 images, five don't count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn't acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.

  • James Gunn's "SUPERMAN" (2025) will release in theaters exactly one year from today. Are you excited?
  • I have mixed feelings. Man of Steel was a good film with a decent, modern take on the character. Henry Cavil was a great casting choice for the lead role and I'd love to see him get another shot at it. I don't see the need for a reboot with a different cast. It feels like he's being punished for Superman v Batman and Justice League, films with shortcomings that were not his fault.

    I'd rather see Gunn do for Superman what he did with The Suicide Squad - retain good performers from the lackluster predecessor films but give them a good script to work with.

  • Dislike it properly
  • This is what one of Edmond Dantes alter egos did in the Count of Monte Cristo. “Lord Wilmore” was an eccentric Englishman who understood French perfectly well, but refused to speak it:

    … Lord Wilmore appeared….His first remark on entering was, "You know, sir, I do not speak French?"

    "I know you do not like to converse in our language," replied the envoy.

    "But you may use it," replied Lord Wilmore; "I understand it."
