Ah, so the Gorn are one bit of egregious fanservice that hasn’t been causing continuity issues. (Although at this point, with all the time-travel and alt-universes, I have no idea at all what Star Trek continuity is.)
No matter how hard we try not to do it, we always hum the music from the fight scene whenever we go to Vasquez Rocks for our Christmas Day hikes.
Totally understandable.
Eh, it could be worse!
When I see watch The Man Trap I’m nostalgic. I developed a massive sunflower seed habit when I was about 10. My brother thought it was unhealthy, so he began to call me “Nancy” when I was 14. I think he hoped that I’d be grossed out by the creature and stop.
Yeah, nope.
I got that treatment for putting extra salt on my french fries! Maybe it was because I never put salt on anything else, though. Too bad I didn’t think of getting revenge with some lipstick rings on his face after he’d fallen asleep.
I think it’s an under appreciated fact that the fight choreographers were thinking all the time that kids would be imitating the fights, so they nerfed everything on purpose. It wasn’t that they didn’t think of how ineffective their moves would be, they were carefully designed to look like a future evolution of martial arts, and be ineffective if you tried to use them.
But how do we know that Gorn genitals aren’t on their heads?
