Trials and Tribble-ations DS9 Season 5 Episode 6

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5 Episode 6 "Trials and Tribble-ations" explained. Join me as I review and recap the great and renown episode that takes old TOS footage and splices in the (then) modern characters of DS9. And this was glorious and done so well where it seems nearly seamless. And it's a great tribute to The Original Series, and it's Deep Space Nine acknowledging its roots. I mean how great is it to see Sisko talking to Captain Kirk. However all that being said, this episode is great at what it does, but it's just a tribute episode. Many people call this the best episode of DS9 and frankly I find that insulting. This does not represent DS9. DS9 is a great show on its own merits, for its amazing characters, hard hitting commentary, tear jerking drama and complex stories of intrigue, and this episode has NONE of that. And let's be honest here the story and plot is paper thin, and quite frankly bad, because it exists only to serve the nostalgia. And there's nothing wrong with that, but it's by no means one of the best episodes of DS9. So that makes it in my opinion the MOST overrated episode of the entire Star Trek franchise. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
