Tribbles: Old and New

Being a fan of STAR TREK means you obsess over TREK things like Tribbles. Here's a link to a video that compares the original episode THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES (1967) with the revisit to that episode -- one that effectively mixed the original cast with the DEEP SPACE 9 cast via computer effects titled TRIALS AND TRIBBLE-ATIONS (1996).

Non-fans, please excuse this entry.
