I am a Trekkie. Don’t tell me it’s Trekker because I’ve been saying Trekkie for years and I’m not changing my mind. I’m only willing to argue over really important stuff like Kirk or Picard. The answer is Kirk by the way, but feel free to try and convince me otherwise. My love for Star Trek began when the original series was in endless reruns. I watched it whenever it aired and I think by the time I graduated high school I’d seen every episode a dozen times. There were a few episodes that I hated like The Menagerie with Captain Pike in the blinking wheelchair. He was creepy. And then there was The Doomsday Machine with the music that played over, and over, and over whenever they did a shot of the planet-destroying-club-of-glowy-doom. My favorite episode though, The Best Episode Ever, is The Trouble with Tribbles and here’s why.
tribbles
This plush Tribble prop replica features sound and motion from the classic “The Trouble With Tribbles” Star Trek episode. You can trigger the Tribble’s soothing purring sound or switch to “agitated mode” to protect you from Klingons. Just don’t be surprised when you come home one day to find dozens of them tearing up your refrigerator.
