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.
