New Short Trek: The Trouble With Edward

[Ray Hardgrit]

Only if those events actually happened!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Everything happens, until it doesn't.

 

[Charles Phipps]

An alternative is that a tribble accidentally got into the replicator wiring.

All those tribbles were created by hot bannanas.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

All those tribbles were created by hot bannanas.

That doesn't sound very apeeling.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

If she’s still captain. She lost her ship to Tribbles.

That's got to be the most embarassing reason to lose a ship.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

BUMP! Got the Short Treks DVD and finally rewatched this one. I LOVED it so much. One of the best Short Treks of all, and deserving of more love in general.

And yes the continuity doesn't fit with Enterprise and in TOS they needed to eat in order to reproduce but here they just randomly shoot out babies, which is impossible. But I don't care.

In the absence of an abundant food source a murder or gang or pod of Tribbles get together to cannibalize one large elderly infertile tribble (by breaking down its flesh with compounds in their saliva) to reproduce ten additional Tribbles per cannibal every twelve hours. Soon there are hundreds of new fertile Tribbles from one sacrifice.

Only for a Klingon.

That violates the laws of thermodynamics and energy.

So does Star Trek. Your point?

Just sprinkle some subspace on it, it'll work.

That... just made the episode 10x darker

Yes.

And?

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

It's better when things make more sense and not less.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Yes.

And?

*looks at Star Trek's history.*


Something has gone horrible wrong.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

It's true, but it doesn't mean they can't do better in the future. That's what Star Trek's all about after all!

Of course they can do better.

I just don't hold it against them or expect them too when they don't either.

 

[Charles Phipps]

Only for a Klingon.

I'd argue the Klingons would just nod in acknowledgement at the struggle against the evil creatures.
