La'an Noonien-Singh was able to put the Gorn behind her in the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it didn't take long for the Paramount+ series to find her a new storyline. The lieutenant seems to have entered a spicy new romance with one of her colleagues on the ship, though I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Shatner has a well-deserved reputation as a ham (not that he's a bad actor, to be clear), both for being a prima donna and his often exaggerated, easily imitable performance as Kirk. "Family Guy" episode "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein" did a cutaway gag of Shatner (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) acting in "Fiddler on the Roof" and giving Tevye the same mannerisms as Kirk.
