  • Der Standard revisits the 1967 Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” as the franchise marks 60 years.
  • The article praises the episode’s enduring appeal and says the series remains more necessary than ever.

The legendary Star Trek episode featuring purring plush creatures has aged remarkably well, Der Standard writes as the series reaches its 60th anniversary.

“The Trouble with Tribbles,” featuring William Shatner as Captain Kirk alongside Spock, Uhura and the rest of the crew, remains the focus of the retrospective. The article presents the episode as both enduringly entertaining and still relevant.

The writer says they have seen the episode “at least five times,” though not deliberately. In the 1980s, the article recalls, viewers could not choose what program to watch. The episode simply kept returning to the schedule.

For Der Standard, the appeal extends beyond this single story. The episode, like the series as a whole, is described as more necessary than ever.
