Trials and Tribble-ations: Watching Star Trek Watch Itself | Ep 31


Listen Later

We watch Star Trek’s “The Trouble With Tribbles” and then Deep Space Nine’s “Trials And Tribbleations” to see how the same story hits in two eras and why the tribute works so well. Then we switch gears and play a cover of Rend Collective’s “My Lighthouse” while we talk through what makes it fun and surprisingly tricky to perform.  
• The waiting in line premise and our chaotic setup  
• What we’re reading and listening to plus the joy of quitting books  
• Cleveland trip recap and a harpsichord heavy Bach festival shout-out  
• Why “The Trouble With Tribbles” still holds up as comedy sci fi  
• Low budget tribbles, poisoned grain, and the reveal of a Klingon agent  
• The DS9 time travel hook and how they blend into 1960s footage  
• Worf’s “we do not speak of this” Klingon continuity joke  
• Why “My Lighthouse” works as upbeat contemporary Christian music  
• Fast strumming and singing challenges plus favorite chord moments  
• Our cover and B side picks and the mood comparisons
