Live from TrekWorld: let’s rewind the late-1990s Star Trek Special Editions and explore why “The Trouble with Tribbles” became a comedy classic. We’ll break down how Trek’s 90-minute special repackagings worked, why hosting split by era (Shatner in 1998, Nimoy in 1999) mattered, and—most importantly—the production genius behind the Tribbles themselves.
From the writing origins (Gene L. Coon and David Gerrold) to Joseph Pevney’s comedic direction, hear how prop designer Jimmy Rugg engineered the Tribbles’ lifelike movement using walking toy-dog mechanics and air-pressure effects. Then dive into the performers’ funniest moments—from Shatner’s physical comedy to Nimoy’s wonderfully “serious” numerical logic on reproduction.
If you love Star Trek that actually makes you laugh, this is your warp-jump to the behind-the-scenes insight segments and episode context you don’t get from a standard rerun.
