completely baseless speculation about the Gorn

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] So the Gorn are kind of unique as far as Star Trek aliens go in that they have the least amount of backstory provided. Or rather, they're the most "humanlike" aliens with the least backstory. By this I mean there were plenty of superpowerful energy things that just showed up out of nowhere and vanished just as quickly, but those are sort of in a different category, or so it seems to me. And anyway, this sort of bugs me, because, like, even one-shot groups like the Sheliak or the Tzenkethi were provided with a "place" in the universe, in that they had a history that was at least alluded to. (Possible interjection at this point: What about those First Federation cats? Uh. . .) But I was thinking, the Temporal Cold War sort of provides an excuse for aliens to show up out of nowhere, do mean things, and then disappear again. So perhaps there is no "Gorn space" anywhere near the Federation, either spatially or temporally. Like, they could be like the spherebuilders and from some other universe, or the distant future or past; maybe even evolving right on Cestus III, if some blundering apes hadn't shown up and altered the environment. Sure, it's implied that they had a current territorial claim on Cestus III, but I wouldn't trust a Metron, personally. Unless I'm misremembering and the Gorn captain said so himself. But, uh, maybe he was lying! Yeah. Though I hear there was a Gorn mention in a recent Enterprise episode. [/QB][/QUOTE]
