Indy 8 Posted April 10, 2003 Cyrano Jones said that tribbles are the only love that money CAN buy. Other than that, I think they came from a planet where they were heavily preyed upon. Thus, their prolific reproductive capabilities was their mechanism for survival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prometheus 0 Posted April 10, 2003 Worf said in Trials and Tribblations that they were like an infestation and that a Klingon Armada obliterated the Tribble homeworld as they were once considered mortal enemies of the empire. Odo: "another glorious chapter in Klingon history"! Very funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xenexian 2 Posted April 17, 2003 Worf said in Trials and Tribblations that they were like an infestation and that a Klingon Armada obliterated the Tribble homeworld as they were once considered :o mortal enemies of the empire. I believe Odo also made reference to the great songs of honor that were written for the Great Tribble Hunt. I always wondered what that must have sounded like. Maybe something on the order of Little Bunny Foo Foo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddillard 2 Posted April 23, 2003 Tribbles are so cute, but very dangerous. Goes back to not judgeing a book by it's cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 24, 2003 Did you see the Tribble at the very beginning of the Enterprise episode The Breach tonight. Click for Spoiler: Hoshi thought it was cute and then Phlox fed it to one of the creatures he keeps in his lab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuraksSoul 0 Posted April 24, 2003 Did you see the Tribble at the very beginning of the Enterprise episode The Breach tonight. Click for Spoiler: Hoshi thought it was cute and then Phlox fed it to one of the creatures he keeps in his lab. Why yes I did! I immediately had flashbacks to Trials and Tribble-ations! Great to see such a reference on Enterprise. The writers and Robert Duncan McNeil did a great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
