Story: Mudd's Women
Written By: Stephen Kandel
Series: Star Trek: The Original Series
Year: 1966
This is a crappy episode. It kind of feels like a bad episode of the Twilight Zone. The whole plot is sexist. Its part of my case against the theory that Gene Roddenberry had this grand vision of the future where everyone is equal...yet this episode treats women like objects and have all the men craving them. Harry Mudd is a character I don't particularly like. He is creepy and weird.
The moral of the story is lame...one of those "the power was in you all the time!" Add on to that that it basically says a man will only love a woman who is pretty enough, and only for real, not fake beauty. Naturally beautiful or nothing in the 23rd Century!
That is pretty much it really...a bad episode.
