The
characters of Cyrano Jones, Captain Koloth and Korax
were all seen in the classic episode
"The Trouble With
Tribbles." |
|
|
|
Although
Captain Koloth was voiced by James Doohan in this
episode, the original actor, William Campbell, would
later return to the role in "Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine"'s episode
"Blood Oath." |
|
|
|
In an
effects error, the Enterprise is seen projecting
its tractor beam from it's cargo hatch/shuttlebay. |
|
|
|
The Klingon
stasis weapon introduced in this episode is never used
by the Klingons again. However, a similar, though more
powerful weapon was used by the Breen in the "Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine" episode
"The Changing Face of Evil." |

David
Gerrold also wrote
"The Trouble With Tribbles." |
|
|
|
David
Gerrold also provided the voice for Korax. |
|
|
|
Stanley
Adams reprises his role of Cyrano Jones for this
episode. |
|
|
|
First
appearance of the Klingon Tri-Blade Insignia. |
|
|
|
In contrast
with the tribbles seen in
"The Trouble With Tribbles" as
well as "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"'s
"Trials and Tribble-ations", the tribbles in this
episode come in only one colour -- pink, to help keep
down the costs of animating dozens of multi-coloured
tribbles; though it may just be a side-effect of the
genetic engineering. |
|
|
|
The tribbles
don't shriek at the appearance of the Klingons this time
around. |
|
|
|
This episode
was intended as an episode for the original "Star
Trek"'s fourth season. When the show was cancelled and
"The Animated Series" created, David Gerrold adapted it
for this format. |
|
|
|
Jadzia Dax
claims in
"Trials and Tribble-ations" that Captain Koloth
regreted never facing Captain Kirk in battle, in spite
of the altercation between the Enterprise and the
Groth in this episode. But, since "Star Trek: The
Animated Series" isn't considered canon, this line is
forgiveable. |
|
|
|
An animation
error has the bridge turbolift doors drawn onto the wall
of the room when Cyrano Jones offers Kirk Spican flame
gems. |
|
|
|
Another
animation error has Captain Kirk wearing a commodore's
rank stripes on his uniform when the tribbles pile on
him. |
|
|
|
Captain Kirk
orders "Emergency Plan B" to which Scotty doesn't
understand. Kirk would later order "Emergency Plan B" in
"Star Trek V: The Final Frontier", and once again,
Scotty has no clue what he's talking about. |
