While I really am not a huge fan of the Gorn, I do like the little sprinkling of "maybe we can communicate with them" (especially with the territory map sent) and I hope that's expanded on a little more. Star Trek is really an idealistic show about exploring and finding common ground with others unlike oneself, and if the writers execute this well with the Gorn going from "terrifying lizardlike unknown" to "we may not like each other and we may have territory lines but at least we can communicate" then I'll be pleased.

I think it is likely they are working up to some sort of “agreement with the Gorn” outcome. Which means we’ll need some huge character progressions (especially in La’an) since the whole crew see them only as monsters. There might have even been some tiny hints in this episode that there are divisions inside Gorn society. Maybe therell be a pro-federation/anti-murder Gorn faction?
