ST: TOS "The Trouble With Tribbles" nitpick (open spoilers)

Zombie tribbles would be horrifying.

But cute.

Even Nazi zombie tribbles? :dubious:

Tribble of Borg… “Lo Cute is”.

I can see the survivors of the Great Tribble Hunt being assimilated by the Borg and returning to wreak havoc on the Klingon Empire. What a story arc that would make! :cool:

My guess is that the toxic grain wouldn’t have been too obvious. Possibly it would have manifested as a mysterious illness taken to be local to Sherman’s planet; or it might have produced long-term malnutrition that would eventually make the colony a failure. Only because the tribbles directly ate massive quantities of the original seed grain and had fast metabolisms did they die so promptly.

They’re not Sun worshipers. They’re talking about the Son.

That’s what you get when you’re born pregnant!
