I use captions for these shows because of this very problem for many shows. That way I don't have to ask my wife what happened if I don't hear it right the first time. She always says if you would watch the screen instead of looking at your phone you would know.
That’s kind of the point. Humans have this monolithic idea about how spacefaring civilizations develop but most likely there are many ways to get there.
There is so much about the Gorn that they don't know and most of what they do know is arrived at by guessing and speculation based on observation. The most they ever learned was during the TOS episode "Arena", and even that wasn't all that much.
Speaking of slow and lumbering, did anyone else notice that the zero G movement looks like it is in slow motion?We learned that the Gorn are slow and lumbering.
Oh, I think we learned a little more than that.We learned that the Gorn are slow and lumbering.
Yep, and looked a bit more like the Gorn in TOS, only CGI'd instead of a guy in a suit. Looking again, almost nothing like the Gorn we've seen thusfar in SNW. So, we have 3 different-looking Gorn, but we can't really count the appearance of the one in "Arena". CGI was in it's very early infancy, so they stuck a guy in a suit...
CGI was nothing more than a pipe dream in '66.
To the degree it is needed to create a plausible image, yes, but computers were making graphical images before the 1960s.
Even with all the available tech, Legendary still does a lot of work with puppets.
Mass can still move pretty fast, watch how quick a bear can go on the attack.
Faster than humans, yes. Bears are terrible at high-G turns and that's where the mass is a problem.
Science Fiction must always pay attention to the fundamentals of kinetic energy and that's largely independent of gravity (other than its contribution to traction).Don't forget to take account on Human colony's planet gravitational field Strength on Gorn's mass body weight which may not be same as on Gorn's homeworld.
