"\"Trials and Tribble-ations\" is the 104th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the sixth episode of the fifth season. It was written as a tribute to the original series of Star Trek, in the 30th anniversary year of the show; sister series Voyager produced a similar episode, \"Flashback\". The idea for the episode was suggested by Ren\u00E9 Echevarria, and Ronald D. Moore suggested the link to \"The Trouble with Tribbles\"."@en . . . . "0708655" . . . . "5"^^ . . "1996-11-04Z"^^ . . .
