Acting Illogical

Story: I, Mudd
Written By: Stephen Kandel
Series: Star Trek: The Original Series
Year: 1967

Harry Mudd was creepy in his first appearance. I’d like to say he is less creepy here but he isn’t. This is a better episode than Mudd’s Women, which was pretty terrible all on its own. This is often too goofy though. I think I’d rather that character never returned ever again (oh beyond one animated episode I guess he doesn’t hurrah!).
The utter silliness of the climax is all much too much to bear. If you can take it, you are insane. What a weird episode.
