Captain Christopher Pike made an offhand comment about the Gorn on Star Trek: Discovery, little knowing how much the hostile race of alien reptiles would impact his life on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Before Captain Pike and the USS Enterprise faced the Gorn, Chris was assigned as the temporary Captain of the USS Discovery.
Star Trek: Discovery Foreshadowed Strange New Worlds’ Gorn Threat "Alligators on Cestus III?" Captain Pike unexpectedly foreshadowed his future struggles with the Gorn by cracking wise about someone else facing the reptiles in Star Trek: Discovery season 2, episode 5, "The Saints of Imperfection.
Captain Pike was, of course, referring to the Gorn, who took issue with the United Federation of Planets establishing a base on Cestus III. The Gorn Hegemony considered Cestus III part of their region of space and saw a Federation installation as a threat. Pike's comment reveals that a decade before Captain Kirk faced the Gorn in Star Trek: The Original Series, Starfleet was already dealing with the alien "alligators" on Cestus III.
