I do love the eps! It's so darn cute! Our heroes stayed in character totally but it was a nice departure as was the Tribbles eps. Even the X-Files had comedic eps that worked well! But very little comedy in the layer Trek incarnations except for the DS9 homage to the Tribbles and their spoof on James Bond films.
