Oh boy. Well, it looks like a lot of nerd dreams are about to come true. To promote their upcoming Star Trek: The Original Series Season Two Blu-ray Box set , Paramount is giving Tribbles away at their San Diego Comic-con booth and they want you to take them home, feed them some “quadrotriticale” grain, bust out your camera and snap some pics of yourself and your new gaggle of furry pals.
Aside from all the previews we’re getting of the Season Two Tribble content via our Star Trek: Season One Blu-ray discs, Paramount is preparing to create an online BD-Live Star Trek gallery of your Tribble photos for all to see!

Coming soon via the Season Two portal of CBS-BDLive.com, fans will be able to check out an exclusive interview from David on his inspiration for the Tribbles and his behind-the-scenes insights, in addition to a wealth of even more incredible BD Live bonus features that will offer fans access to materials unavailable anywhere else.”
WHAT!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!! I WANT A TRIBBLE!!!

And as part of the celebration of said episode, they include the “sequel” animated episode, More Tribbles, More Troubles (watch a preview up above). Both were written by David Gerrold who provides commentary for each episode (watch the Comic-Con preview in our previous post). [...]
