It's been awhile since I've watched this ep, and I'd forgotten just how hilarious it was. The cast clearly was having fun with the idea. And it was nice to see Uhura's character used quite a bit. I loved the little 'look' she gave Chekov as they were entering the bar. It helped reinforce the idea that these people are close friends, as well as shipmates.
Kirk's look when Spock says they're dead was great. Yes, you are buried in dead/dying furry animals. gross. It wasn't something that even occurred to me when I watched this as a kid. LOL
This episode has a great sequel that was part of the animated series. I have the novelization of the script in a compilation book and always wished that they could have filmed it properly, since it introduces a Klingon-designed tribble predator (it looks kind of like a spider). That would be fun to see.
After I watched, I went back and made some icon bases from screencaps. I ended up with 15, most of which are episode-specific and could be fun to play with if anyone wants them. :D
