That reminds me…“It’s a…doomsday machine!”, well Kirk it could be. Or it could be a number of things. But I want to meet the civilization who can cast neutronium but leaves it with a huge design flaw.
There are no toilets in the brig. I can’t hold it in any longer. I feel sick. I need medical attention. Get me to sickbay!
BTW, I think Nurse Chapel likes me. 
Bring your Agonizer. It helps pass the time.
Get this cheese to sickbay!
Maybe the same one that builds Death Stars with huge design flaws? :dubious:
“A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…”
I bought it used. My Brother In Law has a dealership in the valley.
In Peter David’s TNG novel, Vendetta, we are told that the planet-killer was actually built as a weapon to fight the Borg. The one that Kirk and company encountered was a prototype, perhaps explaining its flaws. Picard and his Enterprise meet a second planet-killer, of much improved design, and find it considerably tougher.
And consider that Roger C. Carmel–or Mudd–was probably as gay as a tree full of parrots. Forget about that beard of his. It was a youthful phase.
Except in I, Mudd, it was revealed that Harry had an ex-wife, who he made an android duplicate of.
“Stella! SHUT UP!”
I’m pretty sure when dropzone said “beard”, it was a reference to Stella.
Speaking of Carmel, I found this very interesting. Besides the fact that he’s buried in New Mount Carmel Cemetery, that is.
“The storyline would have involved Mudd being discovered cryogenically frozen by the crew of the Enterprise-D in the 24th Century, and heroically sacrificing himself at the end of the episode.”
There is no need to be insulting towards Mudd!
How much do you want to bet it would have turned out that Guinan was an old friend (or foe) of Mudd?
Star Trek XLI: The Wrath of Mudd
She was his estranged sibling. It was all detailed in the original script for Star Trek: Neh-Mudd-Sis.
That sounds so much better than what we ended up with.
As does the original version of Star Trek: Insert Erection.
To be fair, it was intended to be a first season episode.
Mudd? Self sacrificing? It is against his nature.
Real life sure sucks when it takes you away from fun activities like cussing at politicians, watching football, and writing about Star Trek. Anyway, I’ve got some catching up to do:
"What are Little Girls Made of?"
“Hey, Christine, about that android sex toy, don’t worry about her, she has no feelings, and, look!, she even kisses Kirk and she slaps him, too, so, you know, it’s all good.”
(Of course, Chapel was about ready to jump in the sack with Spock not that long ago, so I guess she really can’t complain.)
"Dagger of the Mind"
A bit too much mad scientist stuff for my taste, but not a bad episode. I sincerely apologize to Lt. Helen Noel for thinking she was a bimbo at first.
"Miri"
Solid episode. I think this was the first TOS story I ever saw.
"The Corbomite Maneuver"
Does anyone else think that Kirk is being a little too trusting? What do we know about this Balok fellow, anyway?
"Balance of Terror"
I can’t believe I used to think this episode was boring. Certainly didn’t find it so on a rewatch. One of the most suspenseful TOS stories ever produced.
"Conscience of the King"
This one doesn’t quite work for me, although I’m not sure why. It’s got a lot of great elements – I like the way they use the Shakespeare material, and, of course, we get to see Kirk turn on the charm. Still,the episode seems to lack something.
