"Tribbles" Director Dies

Another of the old guard passes on.

Joseph Pevney, who directed some of the best-known episodes of the original “Star Trek” television series, died on May 18 at his home here. He was 96.

...Mr. Pevney directed 14 episodes of that 1960s series, including “The City on the Edge of Forever,” in which Captain Kirk and Spock travel back in time to the Depression, and “The Trouble With Tribbles,” in which the starship Enterprise is infested with cute, furry creatures.

Now, if I could only get the original series on blu-ray, I could give Mr. Pevney the send-off he deserves. RIP.
