    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      David Gerrold's original idea for this episode was that the tribble predators would breed as fast as the tribbles. Crew members would then begin to go missing, implying that the predators ate them. Producers felt that would be too violent for a Saturday morning cartoon.
    • Goofs
      Close-ups of Scotty operating the transporter clearly show a mustache sticking out from his face. This is actually footage of Mr. Kyle, the other transporter operator.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Captain James T. Kirk: Someday I'll learn.

      Scotty: Aye, Captain, but you've got to admit, if we've got to have tribbles, it's best if all our tribbles are little ones.

    Tricky Tribulations...
    The trouble with tormenting Tribbles, it's their appetite that gives them the nibbles, opposite of Jack Sprat, get increasingly fat, just as well they don't drool and/or dribble.

    The furry vermin have found new ways to promulgate their presence after some genetic interference.
