1Any references?– DaftCommented May 12, 2015 at 8:16

Yes, references? Not just for the no connection, but how they're used to highlight differences between the two shows.– JMFBCommented May 12, 2015 at 18:25

What references do you need but watching both episodes? Kirk beats the hell out of the Gorn (oh wait, it's the other way around o.O but anyways brute force is key here), Picard talks and is getting talked to an understanding. Other than that: do you want a reference cited for there being exactly NO connection between the two races? And if this reference is not provided you're going to take its non-existance as a proof of the contrary? "Fascinating!"– GhanimaCommented May 12, 2015 at 19:43

@Ghanima Actually I thought he meant the differences in special effects and costumes. If he's referring to Kirk being violent and Picard not using this episode...I totall disagree. Kirk had no choice. He was being attacked by an alien he could not communicate with, it was complete self defense. Picard has fought on many occasions, if you'd like me to list some of them I can. I'll give the dialog from the episode in another comment to refute 100% what you are saying.– JMFBCommented May 12, 2015 at 21:58

"KIRK: No. No, I won't kill you. Maybe you thought you were protecting yourself when you attacked the outpost. (He throws the dagger away, stands up and shouts to the sky) KIRK: No, I won't kill him! Do you hear? You'll have to get your entertainment someplace else! METRON: By sparing your helpless enemy who surely would have destroyed you, you demonstrated the advanced trait of mercy...I sent him back to his ship. If you like, I shall destroy him for you. KIRK: No. That won't be necessary. We can talk. Maybe reach an agreement." HARDLY KIRK TRYING TO "beat the hell" out of the Gorn.– JMFBCommented May 12, 2015 at 22:03

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
