Tribble-ations two episodes

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Suppose you could make a "Trials and Tribble-ations"-style episode with any two episodes, or one episode and one film.

Which crew would time travel to which other event?

 

[F. King Daniel]

It would be very fascinating although deeply impractical to do one with Strange New Worlds and The Original Series. I wonder how they'd brush away the completely different look!

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

A by-product of a substance/device used to make their temporal displacement undetectable or deal with side-effects.

Animated Trek could handle it - they've already mentioned on LD something about the different look of TAS vs them - although they'd have to animate from scratch and not use old footage, unless they put animated characters in old Trek footage alongside live action episode characters and settings.

 

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

I'd probably go with GAMESTERS OF TRISKELION and THE LIGHTS OF ZETAR. But I'd send the animated classic crew to give it a ''Sealab'' effect. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Lower Decks on Iotia. Need I say more?

If they're actually allowed to leave their ship.

In-universe it isn't a different look. CGing one set to look like the other shouldn't be seen as non-negotiable in this situation.

Never mention it. Just like they should have done with the Klingons in "Trials and Tribble-ations"

Loved the mention and then Enterprises further expanding of it. Too bad Discovery had to go and totally ruin it...smh

Nah. The whole thing with the virus was unnecessary.

Nah I loved the Enterprise episodes. A nice three episode Arc. Too bad current Trek is destroying all that....

 

[aquova]

Any episode? Then I want an episode of Lower Decks where they travel back to Trails and Tribble-ation and interact incognito with both the TOS and DS9 crews.

Two major missteps, IMO. Pros thinking like fanboys

And explaining something that didn't require an explanation.

We have pros right now who for some reason cannot learn how to write around established continuity even loosely. Lol It's all ego of course. (Yes I know Star Trek continuity has never been perfect but it's utterly abysmal now)

They're doing fine. Has nothing to do with ego. That's an odd conclusion to jump to.
Continuity shouldn't be a straight jacket.

Or a strict literal truth. It is a dramatic presentation meant to entertain first, right?

I agree it should not be a straight jacket but it also should not be outright ignored either. Picard season 3 was excellent in this way.

I enjoy strange New Worlds (Discovery to a far lesser degree) but they went overboard on many things to the point I just think of it as separate from TOS, all the Berman Trek and Picard.

Shouldn't enjoyment come first?

Wasn't it originally the idea to have Worf appear as a TOS Klingon whenever he's on the Enterprise, and nobody would recognize the difference?
