This was gloriously like one of those Dark Horse comic mashups from the late 90s, Robocop vs. Terminator and Batman vs Predator, etc. It's "Star Trek vs. Aliens" this time, and I dig how ST:SNW has taken the gorn - a clunky and somewhat silly rubber-suited antagonist from TOS, and made them a nightmare xenomorph clone with a hint of Predator mixed into the camera work and sound design. One could argue that it's derivative of Aliens (the little girl as Newt, Lt. Kirk as Hudson, Noonien-Singh as Ripley etc.), but it was a fun episode nonetheless and we can call it "inspiration."
