The Enterprise come to the rescue of a scoutship pursued by the
Klingons, and not only is she hit by the Klingons new superweapon, the
stasis gun - which Kirk (William Shatner) is quick to find a workaround to
-, the Enterprise crew also has to find out that the pilot of the scout
ship they saved is Cyrano Jones (Stanley Adams) from the original
series' episode The
Trouble with Tribbles, and he has brought, of course, Tribbles. He
says the Tribbles he has brought this time are safe as they don't
multiply, but what he doesn't say is the Tribbles are just as hungry,
whether or not they multiply, and they grow to enormous size. After Kirk
has pretty much used the weakness of their stasis gun with them, the
Klingons have retreated, but now they return and immobilize the
Enterprise, but Spock has already worked out a plan to get the Klingons
into a bargaining position, to teleport the Tribbles onto the Klingon
ship. And now all the Klingons want is the Tribbles-killing creature
Cyrano Jones has stolen from one of their labs ... The
Trouble with Tribbles sure was one of the most popular and funny
eplisodes of Star
Trek, so it was only a matter of time until the Tribbles would
re-appear - but unfortunately, this episode doesn't match the earlier one
in terms of fun. Basically the limited and rather bland animation doesn't
lend itself well to the concept that in a way relied on physical comedy,
plus the "threat" of the Tribbles of course loses its novelty
the second time round. That's not to say the episode's a disaster, just
not a piece of greatness either.
