TOS S02E15


In this installment:
(viewed Thursday, Mar. 14th)
Star Trek: The Original Series, S02E15 - "The Trouble With Tribbles"
"The Trouble With Tribbles"
  • Despite my earlier claim (later corrected), in this episode we have the Organian Peace Treaty referenced again.  In this context, the treaty stipulates that the Federation and the Klingon Empire must each prove that they can best develop Sherman's Planet in order to solidify their claim on that region of space.
  • "Federation Undersecretary of Agricultural Affairs" -- another beaurocrat, another douchebag.
  • "I have never questioned the orders or intelligence of a representative of the Federation...until now."
  • Yay, Koloth!
  • "I was not aware, Mr. Baris, that twelve Klingons constitutes a 'swarm'."
  • First he kills gets accused of killing a hooker belly dancer, now he's getting into bar fights.  I've always loved Scotty.
  • I can't get over the pronunciation of "Klingon" as "CLING-uhn" by some characters instead of "CLING-awn", as we're used to.  It's something I've noticed before in TOS, but it's especially noticeable in this episode.
