The Trouble with Tribbles

TOSseason 2, episode 15

How we love these adorable tribbles!

Confound these adorable tribbles!

A great ticking-clock thriller, and proof thatTNGcould do muscular-space-action when it wanted to.

A great summation ofStar Treks Silver Age.

Playing the grown-up Jake, Tony Todd is maybe my favorite everTrekguest star.

Its a bit likeA Christmas Carol, with no Christmas and more tears.

Bride of Chaotica!

Enter Bryan Fuller, credited with this episodes story, who co-wrote the final teleplay with Michael Taylor.

Trapped in a black-and-white pulp serial, a pair of Ensigns battle through a raucously off-kilter adventure.

Witness Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway as Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People.
