Kirk’s (William Shatner) legendary battle with the Gorn in Star Trek: The Authentic Sequence season 1’s “Area.”

On the end of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, episode 9, “Terrarium,” a Metron (Dariush Zaheh) reveals that they manipulated the Gorn and Lieutenant Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia). The Metron have a weird curiosity in experimenting with people and the Gorn, and the way they work together with one another.

Goldsman and Myers recommend that there may very well be one other story set between Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds season 3 and Star Trek: The Original Series season 1 that wipes people’ reminiscences of the Gorn.

Our Take On Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds Retconning The Gorn

Just like the Metron themselves, Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds’ govt producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers are taking part in with Star Trek: The Authentic Sequence‘ canon, however their retcon will be the solely solution to reconcile how a lot Unusual New Worlds has modified the Gorn.

If the third story involving the Metron, Starfleet, and the Gorn would not happen within the remaining seasons of Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds, then it is attainable Myers and Goldsman are saving this story if their spinoff about Captain Kirk (Paul Wesley) in charge of the USS Enterprise, dubbed Star Trek: 12 months One, occurs.

Nevertheless, after three seasons of Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds that closely featured the Gorn, I echo Akiva Goldsman’s sentiments of eager to be performed with the alien reptiles. Star Trek: 12 months One, years from now, could be a wonderful solution to proceed Goldsman and Myers’ Gorn retcon.
