TNG kinda sorta shot itself in the foot with the whole "lets retread TOS" early in season one. I understand they were gunshy about anything that smacked of TOS after that.

I understand that, but the comedy potential will be missed.
I'm more saddened that there was never a Mirror TNG episode.
"Yesterday's Enterprise."
Worf DID encounter a Tribble, once. DS9: Trials and Tribble-ations.
I'll admit, it's not very TNG, but it's the only other episode with Tribbles as main plot devices.
Protips! You'll thank me later.
Save your Patrol Missions for the level cap increase.
Disable on-demand patching, wait for update to finish, reenable on-demand patching.

The point of a mirror universe storyline is to show the regular cast in a completely different light. In that, 'Yesterday's Enterprise' succeeded, even if it wasn't a true mirrorverse episode. Voyager did something similar with 'Living Witness' where everyone put on their black hats for an episode and had fun with it. DS9 did return us to the mirrorverse, but did it in a weird way - the terrans were now the underdogs, the klingons and cardassians were still the bad guys, and the entire thing was treated more like a divergent timeline as opposed to the way TOS treated it.

A Tribble episode would have been awesome. However, an episode where Worf busts out laughing hysterically, when the universal translators go off line......
