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.

Featured review
"I, Mudd" sees Mudd back and better than ever
This episode sees a surprisingly formidable return to the mudd character. When we last saw mudd he was running some weird space wife selling thing I guess which made for some interesting crew dynamics, however Harold was a largely unfunny and unimportant comic relief playing third wheel in an episode named after him. However here mudd drives the plot much more than the previous and traps the enterprise on a planet filled with androids. The pacing is great and the character drama of the enterprise crew attempting to escape as well as mudd's mischievous nature made the episode a thoroughly enjoyable one. The resolution here is a bit corny(plus it was sort of used in 'by any other name') but the concepts brought up are undeniably fascinating and really do the mudd character justice.
