An amusing episode with a few flaws.

Another fun episode from the original series. The scheming Mudd returns to cause more intergalactic mayhem. I love the perfect comic timing during the interaction between Kirk and Mudd as Harry explains how he was arrested and escaped. I must be getting old as I'm now finding Stella rather attractive. Alas it is a flawed gem as I keep wondering how impostor Norman came to be on board the ship without being detected. Also, am I the only person who HATED the illogical behaviour scenes? I found them as embarrassing as the episode where Spock plays music with the rich kid hippies. BUT,,,,,,,,,,the part of this enjoyable episode which confuses me the most has not been mentioned by any other reviewer. Towards the very end as a gaggle of different looking female androids start to gather behind the stars of the show these are two or three absolutely REPULSIVE looking women among them. Why on earth is that. My best guess is that they held a competition with the prize being an appearance on ST. The producer must have shuddered when he saw the winners.
