    To make a good and entertaining show, and because the Gorn were a cool concept that wasn’t especially threatening in 1967 let alone 2026.

      I also feel like they wanted to experiment with aliens being more alien. It’s been a problem that Star Trek’s original aliens aren’t that alien.

      Yeah they should do new aliens. But why give them the name of an existing alien when they’re doing something new?

      Seems like troll behavior to me.
