Warning: SPOILERS For Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds Season 3, Episode 9 – “Terrarium”Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds‘ government producers affirm that they retconned the Gorn and the way it impacts Captain James T. Kirk’s (William Shatner) legendary combat with the Gorn in Star Trek: The Authentic Sequence season 1’s “Enviornment.”
On the finish of Star Trek: Unusual 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.
TrekMovie spoke to Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds government producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers about season 3. Goldsman and Myers affirm that “Terrarrium” means that the recollections of the Gorn have been “tampered with by the Metron,” and that there could also be one other encounter between Unusual New Worlds and Star Trek: The Authentic Sequence. Learn their quotes beneath:
Akiva Goldsman: “There’s a suggestion that the recollections of the Gorn are being tampered with by the Metron. And that they could be tampered with once more sooner or later. So, the concept being that probably, there was one other encounter between what we simply noticed [in ‘Terrarium’] and ‘Enviornment.’ And because of that encounter, all reminiscence of the Gorn has been wiped.”
Henry Alonso Myers: Myers: “A part of what we attempt to do is about up a future us downside and recommend to the viewers that there are tales you haven’t but seen. We now have arrange the concept that there are tales you haven’t but seen that can inform you the story. Should you preserve watching our present, you’re going to get to expertise these tales. That’s the purpose.”
Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds’ Gorn Retcon Defined
Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers beforehand instructed TrekMovie, “We’ll chase an concept that ‘Enviornment’ may really feel brand-new by the point we get to ‘Enviornment.” The Metron’s continued experiments with the Gorn and people is that concept. The Metron appear to have a vested curiosity in understanding people and the Gorn, and having them perceive one another.
Goldsman and Myers recommend that there could possibly be one other story set between Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds season 3 and Star Trek: The Authentic Sequence season 1 that wipes people’ recollections of the Gorn.
This could clarify why Captain Kirk, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and the USS Enterprise crew who had a number of encounters with the Gorn in Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds appear to have no reminiscence of these prior incidents in TOS‘ “Enviornment.”
Nevertheless, Akiva Goldsman additionally instructed TrekMovie that after Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds season 3, “I’m accomplished with the Gorn,” indicating that this subsequent story in regards to the Metron might not occur in Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds seasons 4 and 5.
Our Take On Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds Retconning The Gorn
Just like the Metron themselves, Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds’ government producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers are enjoying with Star Trek: The Authentic Sequence‘ canon, however their retcon could be the solely approach 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 potential Myers and Goldsman are saving this story if their spinoff about Captain Kirk (Paul Wesley) in charge of the USS Enterprise, dubbed Star Trek: Yr 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 accomplished with the alien reptiles. Star Trek: Yr One, years from now, could be a nice approach to proceed Goldsman and Myers’ Gorn retcon.
