The finale for season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds finds the crew of the Enterprise confronting the Gorn during a planetary invasion.
Season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds teased an encounter from the very first episode of the season. Beyond a few hints here and there, that tease went unfulfilled. Until now. In the season two finale of Strange New Worlds, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise encounter the Gorn yet again in a battle that tests the crew’s understanding of the Gorn. In addition, lives are on the line in a major way as the Gorn invade a colony world outside of Federation space. We’ll be discussing all the details in this edition of Warp Trails, the RetroZap Podcast Network show devoted to Star Trek.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The introduction of Scotty to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,
- The Gorn, the crew’s reaction to them, and how they are currently understood,
- Captain Pike’s relationship with Captain Batel of the U.S.S. Cayuga,
- Starfleet’s initial response to the Gorn arriving at Parnassus Beta,
- Spock’s claim that he is the only one that can complete one part of the mission,
- Spock and Chapel’s relationship, and
- Our overall thoughts on season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
