I didn't follow TOS and can't follow what's going on with the Gorn in SNW.
It seems really strange because every SNW episode has been episodic and they've been such great episodes, that now they've gone back between episode 1 and episode 10 with this Gorn arc, it's souring the show for me.
Like maybe if this made more sense to me, fine, but can we go back to Spock and Chapel and T'Pring all dealing with their we-can't-do-this relationship and Erica wanting to get out of the pilot's seat for a while, and La'an dealing with a past and a relationship she's forbidden to talk about, and M'Benga trying to deal with a dark past, and Uhura learning she's more than she thinks she is... all that great stuff one episode at a time and then why not an episode perfectly mixed in with a musical as the penultimate episode to the season finale.
Oh, and by the way the Gorn are back so I guess there's a new big uninteresting threat that Pike and the crew have to deal with to finish things off... OK. But why?
I could give many labels to the Gorn arc but "uninteresting" is definitely not one of them!
Eh, TOS featured multiple episodes with The Klingons. I wouldn’t look too deeply into it.
