Well the Adult Gorn on the Cayuga didn't act as blood thirsty as the younglings.
Spoilers Strange New Worlds Episode 7 - Those Old Scientists
- Thread starter tomalak301
- Start date
If anything that Gorn in the spacesuit behaved more like, say, one of the aliens in the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds.
Yeah I'm waiting for a more communicative Gorn
The Gorn did communicate to the Federation when they sent the demarkation line.
Also, the Gorn on the Cayuga proved itself intelligent when it was attempting to access the computers on the ship.
And just the fact the Gorn are spacefaring means they have at least an engineering/intelligent part of their species.
I think it really is simply a matter of 'youth gone wild', literally, with the Gorn. The older they get, the less feral they are. Which explains the one on the Cayuga and TOS' "ARENA".
I see nothing wrong with how the Gorn are portrayed in SNW.

Yeah, that Gorn in Arena could be played by Danny Glover, be one day from retirement and moaning how he’s too old for this shit
I really like this retcon idea. Works also for the Ent one, which was more mobile but definitely not as much as the new ones.
And the behavior of the one in the Mirror Universe can be chalked up to being from that universe. Looked largely like the TOS Gorn but a lot more agile and raptor-like.
He remembered to stretch first.
Jumping down from an above deck with poor lighting and ominous mood music playing in the background will help anybody become faster and more flexible.
That was amazing. It was also hilarious. The "tag" was especially 
with Pike & co. animated in the style of LD (and getting all self-referential about it, and blaming it on the Orion booze). Although Mariner and Boimler are probably now overdue for a visit from Dulmur and Lucsly (now wouldn't they look interesting, animated in the "big eyeball" style -- although it might actually be funnier if they weren't).
Loved the animated version of the open, complete with the cosmozoan from the LD open sucking on the nacelle. I've GOT to run that side-by-side with the standard SNW Season 2 open.
And of course, Boimler had to really have purple hair.
Oh, and could one of the Mods please adjust the thread title, so that a search on "2x07" finds it?

The third season of Lower Decks did mention in dialogue that his hair was purple. And since that aired eleven months before this episode did, well...
Wow! Shot for shot, and so close that if SNW used real model shots, and LD real cels (neither of which seem particularly likely), they'd have had to rotoscope it very closely to get it that perfect.
And the commentary track for at least one of the first 6 SNW season 2 episodes (or was it a season 3 LD episode?) mentioned this episode, and said something about going back and forth on the matter of whether his hair really was purple.
No shit!
I just looked at the title list on the inside of the coversheet for the SNW Season 2 DVD set, and you're right!
Yeah it was created during the strike, so I imagine that's why.

The LDS Season 4 release was delayed to this year (well that's my theory) so they could do commentary.
Re-watching the episode, I like Boimler's "Remember me!" when getting sucked into the portal, as those who remember the TNG episode 'Remember Me' will get the joke.
But for those who don't remember the episode or its title, or haven't watched it, he could just be yelling that because he could get lost in time.
it works for both sets of viewers.
