Talk:Trials and Tribble-ations

reference to the USS Enterprise-E
When Sisko mentions that the Defiant was in front of the Enterprise, Dulmur tells him to be more specific, as there had been five. Lucsly corrects him and says there had been six (NX-01 was never in Federation service). the first reference to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), which would appear in the film Star Trek: First Contact after the episode aired. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KlingonWarrior09 (talk • contribs)

30th Anniversary
Wasn't this a 30th anniversary episode, along with Voyager's Flashback? Shouldn't there be a mention of this? David 13:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Pictures
It would be interesting to see some pictures from from the TOS episode with the same scene from the DS9 episode. SlowJog (talk) 22:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Tribble as toupee joke
Offhand, I'd say that there's a strong possibility that the booby-trapped tribble intended to kill Kirk doubled as a writer's and Trekker's inside joke, namely that of being an impersonation of William Shatner's famous hairpiece. While I suspect that most in an official capacity or who take the Star Trek universe very seriously would be willing to admit such a possibility, the joke does seem pretty clear and straightforward. 76.190.193.234 (talk) 07:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Source for later expansion
A very good source from the Star Trek Communicator here. Miyagawa (talk) 19:22, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Klingon makeup/whatever
I rewrote the bit in the plot section that covers the difference in Klingon makeup, and kept (for now) the references to the Enterprise episodes, even though it might be a little bit more the domain of a fan site. Either way, there must be more that can be put in the makeup section on this - currently, there's a quote box that says:

When I see a quote box like that, in a good article I expect to find a paragraph in the same section expanding on it, and there is none here. Memory Alpha has this, which explains the background for the quote in this episode quite well. Not all of that belongs here, of course, but just the quote box does not seem like quite enough. Thoughts? --Fru1tbat (talk) 12:56, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Plot
Did the crew travel back in time *to* avoid the assassination of Cpt. Kirk, or did they travel back in time *and* avoided the assassination of Cpt. Kirk? Better the latter, given that they were forced to go back in time by the villain of the piece in order for him to kill Kirk, which they managed to avoid. At first they even had no idea what had happened and that they had gone back in time. So "and", not "to" ;)
