Good news, Trek fans: the stuff of your nightmares last week was largely achieved through some pretty nifty puppetry.
Combined with eventual VFX work to help blur the line between convincing puppet and a “real” beast in the episode, m
ultiple practical puppets of the various Gorn baby stages were made for the episode, including the smallest, freshest younglings for when they violently explode out of their hosts chestburster style, all the way up to the young Gorn “Alpha” that remained from the brood after they’d all torn each other apartteam were committed to using the puppets as much as possible too, going whole-hog on the horror-tinged blood and gore the episode brought to the table along the way.
he Gorn would’ve been less scary if they were entirely digital effects, but there’s an extra layer of weight and conviction you feel seeing these creatures nibbling on people’s necks or smashing away at door ways that makes the horrified reactions of the cast around the action feel rather convincing.
Plus, if you were really spooked out by the episode, now you can just rest assured on a re-watch that behind every Gorn screeching at you during it there ’s several people with various amounts of hands stuck up said Gorn’s proverbial backsides controlling the action. A good, relaxing distraction from the horror!
