Review by Atlas_Redux

This might change in the future, but with the lore we have now, the Gorn simply aren't compelling. Murderous space lizards, with zero depth. It makes me completely uninterested in seeing how anything resolves, since the driving factor is so incredibly boring. They're just murderous space lizard. That's it. Woohoo. So what? Where are the moral complications? Where are the political conflicts? It needs SOMETHING, but there is nothing, so it ends up feeling like an "Alien" ripoff, but without the same tension and horror that makes "Alien" work. It gets incredibly predictable with so little to work with and it just follows Writing A Script For Dummies. Predictable, unoriginal, boring and bland with an incredibly lackluster antagonist.
