I do like that for the first time the feds were in the wrong.
I am not sure that I liked the Gorn in Enterprise all that much more than the one in TOS.
Ugh... do not thump the Book of G'Quan...

I find good moments in the PT, and love all of the OT. Anakin and Padme's dialogue in AOTC can be rationalized away as 'none of them have any experience flirting'.

I too liked that the Federation intruded on Gorn territory, even unwittingly.

It was the first time in the show that the Feds weren't perfect.

Huh? The entire message of TOS was that they weren't perfect but they were trying.

I think he meant that they were initially, if unwittingly, on the wrong side of the argument.

If the Federation in general acted like Kirk, I wouldn't be surprised if they passed the interstellar equivalent of a hundred-foot wide sign saying "You are now entering Gorn space. Trespassers will be shot." It happened in "The Corbomite Manoeuvre" and "Spectre of the Gun" - fortunately the locals turned out to be (relatively) peaceful on both occassions.

Would the Gorn have eaten Kirk?

If it was carnivorous and hungry, then I see no reason why he wouldn't have.

Just because you can eat something doesnt mean you will. Kirk could have eaten the Gorn to technically.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
