Seamon Glass AIRED: October 13, 1966 HACK-MAN rating: .455 Usenet rating: .463 QUOTES: ======= - "This is me cargo" --Mudd (referring to the three women) - "The fact that my internal organization differs from yours pleases me to no end." --Spock (after McCoy makes some crack about his heart being around his left hip) MUDD'S WOMEN PLOT: ===== Jack-of-all-illegal-trades Harry Mudd is transported aboard the Enterprise along with his cargo, three irresistibly beautiful women. Mudd uses beauty pills "Venus drug" to make women beautiful, then sells them to wealthy single miners. Kirk uses up the dilithium crystals chasing Mudd into an asteroid field and goes to Rigel 12 to get new ones, where he replaces Mudd's pills with gelatin (thus proving to the women that it wasn't really the drug that made them beautiful; beauty comes from within (barf)). FACTS: ====== - Mr Ferrill is this week's dork. - Spock thinks dilithium crystals are "beautiful". - Dilithium crystals are referred to as "lithium" crystals in this epi- sode. - Harcourt Fenton Mudd's master's license revoked on stardate 1116.4. - Stardate 1329.9 (?) to 29.1 to 29.2 to 30.1 - Kirk falls for Eve McHuron. OPINIONS: ========= An average episode overall. Not bad for an early episode. The Mudd character is always a joy to watch.
