Tribbles, like cats are basically parasites. Funny the Klingons knew it first.

Jason Weiner

This is the first appearance of the Dahar Master Koloth. He's 1 of 3 very famous Klingons

I was the head of a Star Trek fan club for many years called Federation Strike Fleet Alpha. We hosted a Party Room at a convention and always tried to get a room close to the Klingon Fan Club in the area. They were a great bunch that did amazing make up and prosthetic work. One year my wife went to a fabric store and bought a bunch of fake fur and bunting. She made probably three dozen tribbles of different sizes and at about 2:00am on the first night when they had all had a few drinks in them, we staged a "raid" on their room and bombarded them with the "Tribbles" that she had made. It was great, they played along beautifully and the whole convention heard them screaming and us laughing. Those tribbles would appear everywhere in God knows what for the rest of the Con. Of all that we created we only ever recovered 1 of them to save as a souvenir. The rest were "adopted" by other convention-goers.

Great reaction, Jen. It was fun to watch with you. I know you know this, but obviously Gremlins was 16 years after The Trouble with Tribbles; that's probably where they got the idea from. Interestingly, David Gerrold (the great SF author who wrote the Tribbles episode) had unconsciously copied the Martian Flat Cats, tribble-like creatures that appear in Robert Heinlein's 1952 novel, The Rolling Stones, which Gerrold had read but forgotten about. I think your patrons chose this episode not so much because they'd thought it'd appeal to your affection for small animals, but because it's one of the few really funny TOS episodes (along with "I, Mudd" and "The Squire of Gothos"). Someone has probably already mentioned it, but The Enterprise Incident was based on the real-life incident involving the USS Pueblo, which was captured in North Korean waters only a year or two before the episode was written. I agree about Journey to Babel; while I personally *like* Errand of Mercy, I'm not sure you'll find it all that exciting. As for other shows with good stand-alone episodes: ST:TNG has several stupendous stand-alone episodes such as "Cause and Effect", "Darmok", and "The Inner Light", which you can enjoy a great deal without having seen any other episodes. One particular episode of ST:DS9, "Far Beyond the Stars", is a beautiful stand-alone piece. Among non-Trek series, there are spectacular stand-alone episodes in: *The Twilight Zone *The Outer Limits *The West Wing *Hill Street Blues

Actually Roddenberry wanted the Klingons to have ridges on their foreheads but back then the makeup was way too expensive for a TV show.

RJ MacReady

They hadn't quite decided the appearance of Klingons at this time. Here they appear as pretty much normal people, but with evil goaties. :P Even in ToS, I think their appearances were pretty inconsistent.

In 1996 both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager did episodes that tied in with the Original Series. In the case of DS9, they tied it in with one of these episodes. The reason that the Romulans were using Klingon ships was because the original model for the Romulan Bird of Prey ship had been destroyed, so they had to use Klingon vessels instead. I think the one Bird of Prey that is show was later edited in during remastering of the series in 2006. There were a couple of novels written that feature the Romulan Commander.

Chris Biebel

"We do NOT discuss it with outsiders." I hope she does go for watching the entire series of DS9. That's not a series that can really have a watch 10-15 random episodes and be done.

Dustin Denner

The Klingon's looking like humans has two explanations. The first is real world and practical. Basically, there was no budget for prosthetics and makeup to make the Klingon's look more alien. The second, in-Star Trek universe (on screen) explanation didn't happen until the series Star Trek: Enterprise (2001-2005).

Dustin Denner

With so much Trek out there, it could be a long time, if ever, till you get to the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode that connects to one of these.

Daryl

I'm ready for the movies!

David Crabtree

I like the wavy hands for the theme!

Allen Bond

Yes, more Trek! Yes, speaking for my self, I voted for Trouble with Tribbles because it was a cute episode for you to enjoy but also an introduction to the Klingons. Klingons are a violent battle loving people with an insatiable drive to conquer worlds. At this point in time, the Klingon Empire has an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire. It's an uneasy alliance, but "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". They've traded some key technology. Klingons gave the Romulans a modern warp drive while the Romulans gave them cloaking device technology. Starfleet didn't develop their own cloaking technology due to treaties they had with the Klingons and Romulans. Show creator Gene Roddenberry also said he didn't want Starfleet having the technology as it's a cowardly tactic only fit for villains

Todd Preble

I found a Tribble on ebay! I want the Romulan commander's black & white evening dress,circa 1968 TV series 'The Brady Bunch' 'The Beverly Hillbillies' 'Gilligan's Island' 'Bewitched' 'I Dream of Jeanie',you could go back to the 1950's 'I Love Lucy' ❤🔥
