How well do you know your stardates? How good is your memory of the Captain&#8217;s Log? Do those aliens belong at the ambassadors&#8217; reception? Are the characters wearing the correct uniforms? And just what is that Klingon doing there?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Keep track of your successes with the scorecard supplied and compare results with fellow fans. And just when you think you&#8217;ve spotted all the continuity errors and are ready to beam up to the <em>Starship Enterprise<\/em> for a well-deserved pat on the back, don&#8217;t forget that you also have to hunt down the items from every episode of <em>The Original Series<\/em> that are hidden somewhere in these beautifully detailed pages. Hours of fun, frustration and forum-searching await!<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who wants a perfect score is going to need a true nerd&#8217;s knowledge of Captain Kirk&#8217;s indefatigable mission to spread enlightenment across the universe. Even then, you\u2019re going to have to hunker down with all seventy-nine episodes of <em>The Original Series<\/em> and watch them again. After which you&#8217;ll probably realize you&#8217;ve missed something&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Book Set-Up<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Scorecard<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How To Use This Book<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>To Nerdly Go<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Star Trek: TOS Episode List<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Trouble With Tribbles<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Devil in the Dark<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A Piece of the Action<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Journey to Babel<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Enterprise Incident<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Day of the Dove<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The City on the Edge of Forever<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Amok Time<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Answer Guides<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How Did You Do?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Review:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of the original series, this is the book for you. In <em>Quibbles With Tribbles<\/em>, you have to find exploding Tribbles, continuity errors and scenes from other episodes, and this is a fun and engaging activity. The guide very helpfully includes an episode guide, in case one or two of the episode names has slipped your mind.<\/p>\n<p>The art, created by John Ross, is just lovely. It was loads of fun going through every single detail trying to find errors or scenes from other episodes. Sometimes they&#8217;re easy, and occasionally not. I did well on finding the scenes from other episodes, but not always so well on continuity (and I&#8217;d like to argue one of them from the first challenge with the writer of the book).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a really fun book and even when you&#8217;re finished, you have a beautiful book to go back to again just to look at all of the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love to see one of these for all of the televised <em>Star Trek<\/em> series. I suspect I wouldn&#8217;t do as well on these, as my strengths are the original series and <em>Deep Space Nine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This would be a wonderful present for that Trek fan in your life, or for yourself. It&#8217;s well worth the price.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Book Information:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Author: Glenn Dakin<br \/>\nPublisher: <em>Hero Collector Books\/Nerd Search<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Publication Date: Sept 22, 2020<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-13: 978-1858758558<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-10: 1858758556<\/p>\n<p>Pages: 40<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Trek: Quibbles With Tribbles i<\/em>s available as a hardback for $14.95 on<em> Amazon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To order, head to the link located <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Star-Trek-Nerd-Search-Quibbles\/dp\/1858758556\/TrekToday&quot;\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek: Quibbles With Tribbles By Glenn Dakin Book Description: &#8220;To make this head-scratching mash-up&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/uncategorized\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53390"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53392,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53390\/revisions\/53392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
