A very animated Captain Kirk fends off fat tribbles and agitated Klingons; meanwhile Lieutenant Edward Larkin’s humanitarian science project goes off the rails. Join your starving hosts as they discuss the difficulty squeezing multiple plots into 22 minutes of screen time, highlight the creative advantages afforded by the Short Trek format, and debate the flavor and quality of freshly-shorn tribble meat.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We conclude three weeks of Tribblemania with a vigorous discussion of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s ‘Trials and Tribble-ations’ (S5E06).

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
