Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA third-season appearance of Harry Mudd was planned but axed due to the producers' desire to move away from comedy episodes. However, Roger C. Carmel would reprise the role of Mudd as a cartoon voice in Mudd's Passion (1973). Mudd was considered for a return during the Star Trek movies in the 1980s, but Carmel's failing health nixed that.
- GoofsThe color shirt of the android who takes over the ship is blue. He keeps skipping medical appointments and Bones is concerned. However, the blue shirt is Science and Medical, which means that if anyone is transferred to the ship, both Spock and Bones would have received paperwork on the individual. They both should have known who the person was and what their purpose was on the ship. Yet, in the opening scene, Spock doesn't know him at all and Bones can't get him to keep a medical appointment.

A Cute Episode but Pretty Ridiculous
I didn't care much for the first Mudd movie. In this one, the master swindler has escaped prosecution and landed in the lap of a planet run by computers (sound familiar?). He is treated like royalty because the robots want to study him. Unfortunately, they want some better subjects to explore and Harry hands over the Enterprise and its crew. Harry has been allowed to create robots as he wishes, and he produces five hundred slender, sixties looking women, with flashy clothes and big haircuts. There are also well built young men who look like personal trainers at a health club. They are all humorless and cater to everyone's needs. The only thing they cannot have is passage back to the ship. Their ultimate goal is to stock the Enterprise with these androids and go through space, showing everyone that robots are superior to humans. Mudd thinks he is going to go with them and the Starfleet crew has to stay. But they come to realize that Mudd is flawed terribly, and they never had any intention of allowing him to leave. Now he must ally himself with Kirk and the gang. What makes this so much fun is the idiotic (yet charming) way they attempt to thwart the androids. One mistake Harry makes is creating an android version of his nagging wife. He starts her up and she nags him. He then tells her to shut up, which is therapeutic. We find out later that this was a mistake. Of course, once again the crew is forced to outsmart a master computer. This will not be the last time.
