The episode of Strange New Worlds that aired last week gave us a kind of horror that Star Trek has never seen before. They had a physical presence on the set to scare the bejesus out of the crew.
There is a new behind the scenes video on Star Trek.com that covers the creation of the scary-ass antagonists of "All Those Who Wander", four little Gorn babies that very quickly become fast-growing, blood-and-gore-craving little murderers as they The focus of the clip is on how different and scary these young Gorn are to the ones we encountered in the original Star Trek, but there is more to it than that.
Multiple 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 chest burster style. The team at Strange New Worlds were committed to using the puppets as much as possible, and they went out of their way to make sure the episode was as bad as possible. There is an extra layer of weight and conviction you feel seeing these creatures nibbling on people's throats or smashing away at door ways that makes the horrified reactions of the cast around
If you were scared by the episode, you can rest assured that there are several people with lots of hands in the background. A good way to distract from the horror.
