The only Gorn cannon I recognize is the rudimentary implement constructed by Captain Kirk in Arena.

But in all seriousness, I understand being precious about canon and having everything fit together, but making tweaks and changes here and there in the service of storytelling isn’t the end of the world. Especially with a franchise spanning 50+ years and several different television series.

Oh, that’s a really good format for that live chat, thanks!

M’Benga turned out to be my favorite character from last season, and I’m glad they’ve been able to stretch his character out beyond having it centered around his daughter this season. He should have an interesting character arc from what they showed in this episode.

There’s a daily live chat over at Mastodon that I follow, where people react to Trek episodes airing on H&I (an antenna channel in the US) using the #AllStarTrek tag that’s pretty interesting as well. You can try to play “guess the episode” based on what people are saying.

I’ve been visiting Reddit since 2006 and had an account there for nearly 17 years. I remember it before subreddits were a thing. It was for tech nerds and other associated weirdos before entering a genuinely charming period for a few years, but those days are long in the past. I’d rather try out something new with a smaller group of interesting people who are also into trying new things, and I hope this site is able to keep chugging along regardless of whatever is happening at Reddit.
