Star Trek: The Animated Series – “More Tribbles, More Troubles” (01×05) – Recommended

(Source)

Official Synopsis: “As
it escorts two robot grain ships to Sherman’s Planet, a world ravaged
by crop failures and famine, the Enterprise breaks course to track a
Klingon battle cruiser that is pursuing a one-man scout ship. When the
Klingons fire on the smaller vessel, Kirk instructs Scotty to beam out
the pilot, but the Klingon blast decalibrates the integration
parameters. Using a dangerous new weapon — a projected stasis field
effect that disrupts ship’s engines and weapons — the Klingons fire on
the Enterprise and cripple it.

“Klingon Captain Koloth hails the Enterprise and tells Kirk that the
man caught in the decalibrated transporter beam has committed an act of
ecological sabotage, and threatens to take him by force. Kirk sends the
two grain ships on a ramming course for the battle cruiser, and
Koloth’s attempts to stop the other two vessels drains too much of
their power, though one grain ship is damaged.

“The crisis averted for a moment, Kirk moves to the transporter room,
only to discover that the rescued pilot is trader Cyrano Jones … and
he’s brought piles of puffy pink tribbles with him! Jones claims that
he’s had the tribbles genetically engineered so that they don’t
reproduce, making them ‘safe.’ He also shows them a tribble predator
known as a glommer, and tells them that he inadvertently sold the
Klingons some tribbles, thus causing the ‘ecological sabotage’ to which
Koloth referred.“

The
original series episode “Trouble with Tribbles” is one of my favorites
because of it’s perfect balance of humor and tension. Plus, Mr. Spock
petting a Tribble is one of his best moments. Originally, it was
planned to be a live-action episode for the series, but was dropped and
picked up by the animated show. This is where the Animated Series
shines because it was able to take ideas from the show they couldn’t do
and make them work. Plus, it answers the question: whatever happened to
Cyrano Jones?

Would you want an
Unbreakable sequel? Are DC movies more realistic? Do you think Fraggle
Rock should come back? How awesome is Weird Al Yankovic? Would you
watch Neil deGrasse Tyson’s new show? What do you think of this week’s
links?
