Snowflake Challenge 2016: Day 7

Day 7

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much

I'm going to talk about Star Trek:TOS for a change. One of my favorite eps of all-time is "The Trouble With Tribbles."

Why do I love it? Well, for one thing, it's *funny*. It never fails to put me in a good mood, partly because I used to do temp work in an agri-business firm and I know just how it is when you are dealing with *ahem* "lesser government officials". (I only wish they had shown Lurry's secretary. So this makes it an episode that I can identify with on several levels -- perhaps a bit too well at times. ;)

But best of all, it shows many of the Enterprise crew as ordinary individuals on shore leave and expands on their personal history. Win-win all around, I'd say.
