This Day in History
Could It Be Tribbles are 56 Years Old?
Star Trek’s “Trouble with Tribbles” has an anniversary
In this day of history, the most fun Star Trek episode aired, the “Trouble with Tribbles.” This episode introduced a lovable, furry, intensely voracious, and quickly reproducing bundle of joy called the Tribble.
If you’ve been paying attention, I am a Trekker. Not to be confused with a Trekkie; a whole different breed of Star Trek fan.
So of course, I had to write about Tribbles today. It’s a very good way to end the year.
Tribbles hate Klingons, although I am pretty sure this would be politically incorrect in today’s society. They hiss and become fearful of Klingons in the vicinity.
Here is a great write up about the episode from Vanity Fair. Enjoy and celebrate the Tribble today.
